Definition of guide as a leader through complex terrain.

You are not alone.

I am a guide, accompanying you through the unfamiliar, complex, and sometimes hazardous terrain of your inner life. 


My approach isn’t to offer opinions or give advice. My goal is to help you grow right out of yourself. This means I don't encourage you to grow in accord with my idea of you, or society's idea, but rather I aim to help you evolve organically from within yourself—in accord with who you naturally are, and all you aspire to become.


This means our greatest resource is something you already possess—an innate wisdom that knows the way, even when your conscious mind does not.


Our work together will be to uncover that wisdom. We learn to identify its voice and then follow it session by session until you feel ready to move on to what is next. 


To support you in this, I will bring patience, kindness, a belief in your inherent worth as a human being, and a deep commitment to your highest good.

A place to lay your burden down.

Unanswered questions can get heavy after a while.

Some of us have been carrying them for so long we can't remember what they are anymore. 

But they still weigh on us. 


Sometimes, we need someone to help us carry them.

Sometimes, we just need to set them down for a while.


This is how I approach our work together. 

I create a place where you can stop along the path of your life and lay your burden down.

To rest.

To reflect.

To reconsider.

To recharge.

To plan.

You do this not only knowing that you are safe, but that you have finally arrived home within yourself — and from that deeper, quieter place you are able to make a claim on the very best things in you.

Separation or Divorce

Separation or Divorce

This can be one of life's most  painful and disorienting events. It raises difficult questions about identity, attachment, hope, family, and security. The first step is often the most difficult— learning to relocate ourselves in the world without our partner.

Loss of a Job

Losing a job can be powerfully disruptive to a sense of worth. It raises hard questions about  how to source self-esteem, value, and identity. Learning to accept our inherent worth, regardless of circumstances, is often the key to regaining balance.

Death of a Loved One

Death of a Loved One

Losing someone we love, whether sudden or not, is a shock to the system - no matter how "prepared" we think we are. Managing grief  requires immense patience—especially when friends and family seem anxious for us to "move on." 

A Health Crisis

Death of a Loved One

A serious health crisis not only asks us to learn new ways of doing things, it can also create feelings of vulnerability and weakness that challenge our need for safety and security. 

Retirement

Retirement is a time when many people fear losing their way. Work always provided a ready-made structure  that reassured us of who we are, and losing it can create anxiety and disorientation. However, it can also be a time of great opportunity if we give the questions and feelings their proper due.

The mission changes suddenly and we often find ourselves discovering years of deferred maintenance hiding  in our relationships - both with  our partners and with ourselves.

One Session at a Time.

I've worked with some clients for only a few weeks, and some of my current clients have been working with their questions for years. That's why I prefer to take it one session at a time. This doesn’t mean we won’t be seeking the shortest distance to solutions. We will. Vigorously. But after many years of doing this work, I've found that our most enduring answers rarely arrive on a schedule.


There are no 50-minute hours in my practice—each session is one, full hour. The cost for the hour is $195. 90-minute sessions are available for $250. 


I recommend a minimum of one session per week—any less and it is difficult to get traction. With new clients, I often start with two sessions a week for a few weejs days and then go to once-per-week after that. That said, how quickly and often we meet is entirely up to you.


During COVID, I was forced to see all of my clients online. I was certain it would be impossible to do the kind of intimate work I do virtually. Much to my surprise, I discovered that clients and I adapted quickly and easily to the new format. The best proof I have is that even after COVID, not a single client felt it necessary to come back into the room. My practice is now exclusively online and I meet all of my clients over Zoom.


Some coaches offer packages requiring several sessions to be paid upfront. I do not. I simply ask to be paid via Venmo or PayPal after each session. If you are interested in receiving a package price, I would be happy to work one up for you. The savings over a per session structure is generally between 15 - 20 percent.
