Hey, I’m Whitney!
(she/her)
As a life coach, I help queer, nonbinary, and trans people (as well as allies) achieve their life goals in a way that feels healthy and safe.
My Approach - The HELP Method
Safe Accountability For Strategic Growth
Most people who want coaching feel like they’re stuck or failing to make progress in some way. I co-create a growth plan with each client that they feel excited to be accountable to, and create a safe environment where they can share without being judged.
Holistic Life Skills Focus
In addition to helping clients make a Growth Plan, I also help them develop holistic life skills centered around receiving more social support. I wrote a whole book about this and send a free copy to each client! You can check it out below, although it currently misgenders me which is a smidge embarrassing!!
What My Clients are Saying
"Extremely supportive and overall great person. Whitney coaches in a mentally healthy way that you don’t see from other coaches and guides you in the best way possible."
Jack W., Raleigh N.C., 2024
"Honestly I can't say enough good things about Whitney … is very wise and has helped a lot in a short time always holding me accountable for things. I would very much like to add that not only is their heart genuine but the prices are very reasonable. I have learned so much from Whitney; my only con is that I didn’t meet them sooner."
Daniel J., Raleigh N.C., 2023

FAQ
-
How do I know I can trust you? :)
Here's how we can both know - we will have a call to see how we match, and then I will give you a free, life-changing coaching session. That's two trust-building touchpoints for us before we decide if it's going to be amazing to work together, and before you have to pay a cent. -
With my specific HELP method, you can expect to quickly and drastically increase:
The number of supportive people in your life.
The number of self-care coping skills you can use when you are stressed.
The number of things you are doing in your life that actually feel aligned with your purpose.
As you increase these things, you may observe that money, relationships, health, and other things are going much better!

LGBTQIA+ Life Stressors and managing them. As a person in transition, I live the direct experience of facing discrimination and learning to deal with it.
Personal Finance. I teach every client how to organize their budget in a simple online software so that they have an exact picture of their finances at all times. I do this and am happy to directly show you how it works!
Finding Friends and Support. I will help you find a support group for whatever challenge you face. (After all, I wrote the book on it).
Finding Your Purpose. I've been writing about finding my purpose in life since 2016, and have just recently started (it's a journey!) to land on it. I work clients through a variety of tools, including Myers Briggs typing and the Design Your Life workbook.
Career Change. After starting my career as a computer programmer, I switched to become an author, life coach, art salesperson, and housewife. In addition, I learned a lot about career transition when I switched programming jobs in the late 2010s, so I am qualified to help professionals who want to stay in the workforce find a better job.
Helping Handmade or Product Based Business Owners. As I run an art business with over 1,000 sales on Etsy, I am qualified to help people who are looking to start or grow a handmade business. Due to my coaching and technology/finance backgrounds, I sometimes coach independent artists or makers who have much larger businesses than I do on their financial systems and life goals.
Direct Energy Supply. Ok, so part of coaching is technical skills and part is listening and asking questions. But I also work very, very hard on my personal energy, so when you meet with me, it will be like meeting with a battery that charges you up. I call it "direct energy supply." If you're curious about what that means, just imagine spending an hour with a really nice golden retriever. That's what it's like. Try me and see if you don't feel it :).

Every engagement is custom and priced differently to meet your needs. I have people who pay more to meet face to face weekly, and I have people who want email accountability with my coaching worksheets and pay a small monthly fee.
If you're willing to do the work I'm willing to make a custom plan that works for you.
-
I'm extremely flexible in this regard. Historically, I've simply done one session at a time, but as clients ask for more accountability over time, I am developing 3, 6, and 12-month packages. Ask me about it!

Call me at 859-314-3828 and we'll set up your free, life-changing coaching session (2 hrs).
After that, session lengths are variable based on the package, but you must be willing to do pre-work, then show up fully for a free 2-hour session in order to work with me.
