Guidance
I am a guide. This means I offer services for individuals who are looking for someone to walk with them and help them see a different perspective, uncover gifts, pursue desires, get intimate with a tension, or address relational needs. My compass is informed by three beliefs: 1. Every single person has agency and power, 2. You have a unique offering for our world, 3. Everything, including our fears and desires, is relational.
Our work together will help you build intimacy with yourself first and foremost. I see my role as a shepherd who can guide you on a path that brings you close to the truest, most authentic expression of yourself.
I am a former therapist and have training in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approaches. However, this is not therapy and I work outside of the California Board of Psychology.
Guidance sessions are one hour long and are on sliding scale, $100-$200.
Intuitive readings are 30 minutes long and are offered at $150.
