I know, first-hand, the complexities of navigating of the worlds of gender and sexual orientation as a young adult.  I carry a deep appreciation for the mentorship of the LGBTQ+ adults who guided me as a gender non-conforming, queer youth - teaching me resilience, self-acceptance, and the joy that can come from embracing gender and sexual variance. Their presence shaped me, and it continues to inspire the way I show up for others.

Young adulthood is a powerful time: things are shifting, expanding, taking shape. You are trying to understand yourself in new contexts, roles, and relationships. The path forward is not always clear.  Or it’s clear, but not without challenges. 

Whether you’re questioning your identity, preparing to come out, beginning a transition, or trying to navigate classrooms, workplaces, relationships, or systems that were not designed with you in mind, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I bring thirty years of experience mentoring, supporting, and celebrating LGBTQ+ young adults, and I offer a space where you can explore freely, learn deeply, and build confidence in your own direction.

You deserve guidance that meets you where you are—and supports where you want to go.
