West Coaching

West is a grounded, neurodiversity-affirming coach who brings a calm, steady presence to complex emotional and identity-related work. With over 600 hours of experience on a suicide and crisis hotline, they have supported people through acute distress, identity exploration, and moments of profound uncertainty. Their background also includes years of in-person mental health support for teens, giving them a deep understanding of adolescent emotional landscapes, developing identities, and the challenges of navigating family and peer dynamics.

West’s coaching centers polyamory, gender identity, queerness, and neurodivergence (including autism, ADHD, twice-exceptionality, and high sensitivity). They offer clients a space where complexity is welcomed rather than managed away, and where lived experience is treated as a source of insight rather than something to justify. Their approach is relational, nonjudgmental, and rooted in humility and curiosity.

Clients work with West when they want a coach who can sit with hard emotions, hold nuance, and help untangle the internal and external barriers that make growth feel difficult. They support clients in finding clarity around relationships, identity, communication, sensory and emotional needs, and the deeper patterns shaping their lives.

West’s guiding belief: people flourish when they are met with respect, presence, and genuine interest in who they are. Their coaching invites clients to slow down, feel understood, and move through life’s complexities with more support and less isolation.
