About

West is deeply passionate about supporting others, whether through hands-on assistance or empathetic listening. They bring over 600 hours of experience answering a suicide and crisis hotline for community members of California's central coast, offering compassionate support to individuals in need. Additionally, they have spent many summers providing in-person mental health support for teens aged 13-18 at a sleep-away summer camp, enriching their skill supporting adolescents.

They know how essential it is to have support navigating difficult emotions and life’s complexities. It is their life's most important, fulfilling work to create space with others to hold these challenges with care and understanding. Drawing on their hotline experience, they listen with empathy and without judgment, guiding clients through emotional challenges and helping them overcome barriers to growth.

With a commitment to humility and curiosity, West values connecting authentically with others, recognizing the richness of each individual's unique experiences. Outside of work, they enjoy spending time in nature, diving into fantasy and science fiction novels, and showering their pets with love.
