Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

You don’t need to have the right words, a clear plan, or certainty to be here.  

Most people arrive feeling tired, worried, or unsure what they even need. They are sensing that something in their life wants care and attention.

This page is here to offer a little orientation, answer common questions, and help you feel into whether this kind of support might be right for you.

There’s no pressure to decide anything. It's simply information, offered calmly.

Read through any of these questions. When you’re ready, you’ll find booking information at the end of the page.

What do you want to know? Let's start here:

I support people navigating life grief and changes — things like relationship strain, estrangement, identity shifts, spiritual change, burnout, loss, and major transitions.

Many people arrive feeling overwhelmed or quietly stuck, even if things “look fine” from the outside. We take time to understand what’s happening beneath the surface.

Life grief includes losses that don’t always involve death — the end of a relationship, estrangement from family, bullying and othering, a change in identity, unmet expectations, or the life you thought you’d be living.

These experiences can carry real weight, confusion, and sadness, even when they’re hard to name. They can create blocks or obstacles that you may or may not understand, to reaching for your goals and dreams.

No. Not at all.  Many people come feeling unclear, conflicted, or emotionally tired. Part of the work is slowing down enough to make sense of what’s actually going on — together. This is why I offer a Clarity Session, where what is most important has space to become clear. You can explore the different session options here. 

This work is supportive and reflective, not clinical therapy.  I integrate psychology, nervous system awareness, values exploration, and intuitive insight to help you understand yourself more clearly and make steadier choices.

While I have the credentials and ongoing training of a counselor, I don’t diagnose or treat mental illness, and many people work with me on a regular or intermittent schedule alongside therapy.

It can be spiritual, but it isn’t religious.  I offer interfaith support and work with people of all belief systems — including those who are questioning, secular, none, or unsure. There’s no doctrine or belief you’re expected to hold. All orientations, faith, genders are welcomed. Come as you are.

Yes. Our relationships are the most important facets of life. We are hard wired for them, and I love to do what I can to support you and grow skills, compassion, and curiosity for yourself and your needs together.

Relationship Clarity & Support is a grounded, reflective approach to understanding what’s happening in your relationships — without rushing to fix, decide, or perform.  This work supports people navigating relationship strain, estrangement, changing partnerships, family complexity, and long-standing relational patterns.

Together, we explore emotional responses, values, and nervous system reactions so you can relate with more steadiness and self-trust.  There’s no agenda to reconcile, communicate “better,” or reach a specific outcome. The focus is clarity — helping you understand what feels true, what you need, and how you want to move forward, whether that means repair, redefinition, or letting go.

Yes. Relationship strain and estrangement are central parts of my work.  This can include family estrangement, long-term relational tension, changing partnerships, or the grief that comes when connection shifts or breaks.

There is a particular type of soul-wound that happens in estrangement that can include shame, anger, confusion, guilt, and more. 

Yes. Intuitive insight may be part of sessions or even the focus of a session. They are always grounded and optional. It’s used to support clarity, gain insights, and deepen meaning — not prediction, persuasion, or telling you what to do.

To be clear, I am not magical. This is a deep language, perhaps our most instinctual and first language that we consent to explore. I have a well-honed, lifelong relationship with this language that is my joy to share with you. 

If you’re looking for a calm, honest space to make sense of change — without pressure, fixing, or performance — this work may be a good fit.  If you’re still unsure, that’s okay. Uncertainty is often part of the beginning.

You can email me your questions, or we can have a good old fashioned phone call where you can sense if scheduling a session or so will be a good next step. 

You don’t need to rush a decision.

If something here helped you exhale even a little, that’s worth paying attention to.
Feel into that gut, knowing place, and exhale. What does it want you to know?

When you’re ready, you’re welcome to reach out or book a session.

And if not, I hope this page offered a moment of steadiness and reassurance.
