LGBTQIA+
Life and Career Coaching

I help professionals, students and parents of LGBTQIA+ navigate the complexities of being queer in the workplace, school and family.

"I was shocked and scared when my son told me he is gay. Kirsten helped me understand how I wanted to show up for my son. Our relationship has never been better."
-Gerald M., Father
"I knew I wasn’t fully stepping into my power.
Instead, I was sitting on the fence. Kirsten helped me find my purpose, focus, and direction. I would definitely recommend her!" — Jennifer N.
"I felt so lost as a freshman in college. I didn't know where I fit in. Kirsten helped me figure out who I am and where I want to belong."
- Kris, UCLA Student
"I found a lot of new understanding through our work
of what it means to be in loving relationship with ourselves and others. Thank you for your unconditional support through our work together. It was the first time in a long time that I felt that." -B.E., Nonprofit Executive
"Kirsten uses neuroscience, curiosity, compassion, adult development theory and technology
to help you learn how to be in a loving relationship with yourself so that you can decide how you want to spend the next stage of your life." - Renate, Powerful Living

Whether you are new to coaching or have worked with a coach before, the first step is a conversation. 

WHAT TO EXPECT

During our call, we will talk about what you are hoping to get out of coaching and I will tell you about how I work. Together we will decide whether we might be a good fit for each other. If we are a fit, the next step will be a Chemistry Session. If we aren’t a fit, I will be happy to refer you to another coach.
