Coaching Offerings
I am currently accepting new clients.
My coaching practice operates separately and independently from any affiliations with Vancouver Foundation. Clients working with me are not eligible to apply for positions at Vancouver Foundation for six months following our coaching sessions.

Practice your interview skills in a safe, supportive space where you can embody confidence and refine your approach. Get feedback on how to align your responses with your liberatory vision.

Navigate offers, references, and negotiations with a focus on aligning opportunities with your purpose. Learn how to advocate for yourself while staying true to your values and vision for your career.
Job Application Refresher
Refresher Session (1 hour)
If it’s been a while since you’ve sought feedback on your job applications, this session helps you refresh and realign your materials. Revisit the essentials—resumes, cover letters, and interviews—through the lens of your evolving goals and values.
Scaffold & Strategize
Scaffold & Strategize Session (1 hour)
Ready for the next step in your career? We’ll work together to create a performance plan, identify skills and experiences you need, and strategize how to highlight your accomplishments in a way that aligns with your vision for a better, more just future.
Career Exploration
Career Exploration Session (1 hour)
Not sure where to go next? This session helps you explore new possibilities for your career, grounded in your skills, experiences, and passion for justice. Find new ways to align your work with your deeper purpose.
General/Custom
General/Custom Session (1 hour)
Looking for flexible support or have needs that don’t fit into a specific appointment? These General/Custom sessions are designed to meet you where you are—whether it’s exploring career questions, addressing unique challenges, or tailoring our time to focus on something entirely different. Please book a consultation session to discuss what this looks like for you. Together, we’ll create a session that aligns with your goals and values.

This rate allows me to support systemically marginalized community members including Sick, Disabled, Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, People of Colour, Refugees & Precarious Immigration Status on a sliding scale, offer community coaching spots, and labour and time in the community.
Sliding Scale (Currently available)
60-min: $50 – $80
30-min: $25 – $40
The Green Bottle model can help you determine where you fall within a sliding scale.
Available for those who: have experienced or face systemic oppression or violence due to gender, race, religion, place of origin, sexual orientation, are living with disability, immigrants, refugees, or displaced people, victims of the the ”justice” system, veterans, single parents, sex workers, those affected by care-giver burden, those in poverty or struggling with basic needs, or of any other marginalized identity not mentioned here.
Solidarity Spot (Please inquire)
As a way to give back to community and support those who face systemic oppression, I offer no-cost solidarity spots where possible.
Trades and Exchanges
I’m open to non-monetary exchange options. If coaching feels right for you but monetary payment is a barrier, I’m open to trade, skill-sharing, or other creative forms of exchange. We can explore creative ways to work together that feel good and equitable for both of us.
I offer these options because I believe career coaching is such a helpful tool that it should be accessible to everyone. It’s also an opportunity to give back using the skills I have.
