Today
Throughout my life I have gravitated towards those around me whose talents exceeded my own. I sat close to to them, listening and learning. But in my years back in Washington, DC I began speaking confidently as the teacher. In my adult life I have found I'm consistently the most trusted voice in the room and the first to be called for help or counsel. I possess a large emotional IQ as well as spacial and visual abilities, plus I'm experienced as a sacred intimate and surrogate, giving me a broad understanding of the complexities around emotional and physical connections.
I have spent years guiding individuals after intense histories of child sexual assault, struggles to come out to their families as queer, drug and alcohol abuse, interpersonal & business challenges, mental wellness and depression/anxiety, breakups and divorce, family issues surrounding generational disfunction and poverty, as well as career and general life guidance. Through recent trainings with the Body Electric School and the Coaches Training Institute I have been personal life coaching for two years, and complete my ICF certification December 2017.
