As a coach, I am passionate about supporting women, LGBTQ+, and neurodivergent people through life and career transitions, with a particular dedication to those advocating for just, equitable, diverse, and inclusive futures.
Through thought-provoking questions and creative processes, I partner with my clients to empower them to reconnect with their authentic selves, cultivate resilience with integrity, and unlock their full potential to create a fulfilling, flourishing life – even in turbulent political, social, and economic conditions.
My specialties include:
- navigating multicultural, neurodiverse work environment;
- embracing the precarities of freelance, academic and immigration experiences;
- coping with political depression and/or eco-anxiety;
- overcoming impostor syndrome, perfectionism, and procrastination.
I also offer:
- business coaching for social entrepreneurs and independent consultants;
- leadership coaching for nonprofit management;
- writing coaching for journalists, advocates, and academia.
All coaching sessions are strictly confidential and adhere to the International Coaching Federation’s Code of Ethics.
Each coaching session lasts 60 minutes. During the sessions, I act as a thinking facilitator and sounding board, offering a safe, judgment-free environment for deep reflection.
I offer coaching in English, Mandarin Chinese, and French.
It’s important to note that coaching is not therapy, consulting, or mentoring. Here’s a short video explainer and an accessible comparison.
