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.
Job Application Foundations
Resume/Cover Letter/Interviews (1 hour)
Create an impactful resume and cover letter that not only showcases your skills, but also aligns with your values and purpose. Then, we’ll cover ways to prepare for interviews by grounding yourself in your values and somatic awareness.
Mock Interview Practice (1 hour)
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.
Offers, References, Negotiations (1 hour)
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 (30 mins – 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.

Pricing
- Standard 1-hour rate: $125
- Foundations Package – 3 Sessions (15% off): $318.75
- Purpose-Driven Career Package – 5 Sessions (25% off): $468.75
Paying the standard rate directly sustains this practice and allows me to offer accessible sliding-scale spots and no-cost solidarity sessions for community members facing systemic barriers.
Sliding Scale (Please inquire)
60-min: $60 – $80
30-min: $30 – $40
The Green Bottle model can help you determine where you fall within a sliding scale.
This option is available for those who experience or face systemic oppression or violence due to gender, race, religion, place of origin, sexual orientation, disability, immigration/refugee/displacement status, single parenthood, sex work, caregiver burden, living in poverty, or navigating the “justice” system—including Sick, Disabled, Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color communities.
Solidarity Spot (Please inquire)
As a way to support community members facing acute hardship, I offer a limited number of one-time, no-cost strategy sessions (30 mins).
These spots are designed to review or refine a specific next step you’re already considering—such as reviewing a career decision, a workplace boundary, or a targeted resume or application question. Because of the focused 30-minute container, this session is meant for individuals ready to gain clarity on a concrete, immediate action.
How to Access: Please reach out via the contact form with a brief summary of what you are navigating and your primary goal. If it feels like a mutual fit, we will schedule a brief 15-minute alignment call to connect.
Trades and Exchanges
I’m open to creative, non-monetary exchanges. If coaching feels right for you but payment is a barrier, I’m open to skill-sharing, trades, or other creative arrangements that feel good, equitable, and generative for both of us.
