Frequently Asked Questions

Are you currently accepting new clients?

November 2025: Yes, I am!

Are you a therapist or mental health care professional?

No. My focus is upon your spiritual, emotional, and social well-being, and my approach is through spiritually informed practices and insights. So the focus of our work will be: spirituality; relationships; self-understanding; healing, and change.

However, I have extensive experience with all manner of mental health conditions and neurodivergences, including: ADHD; autism; depression; Complex Trauma; dissociative identity disorder; bipolar disorder, and many more.

Your mental health matters to me, and you are free and safe to discuss it with me. I will support and respect you, and give you guidance when I can. But mental health and psychiatric care are separate from the work I do.

I strongly believe in the widest networks of care possible, so I am also happy to help you find respectful, affirming mental health care if I can.

What do you charge for services?

We can discuss this privately if you choose to pursue care with me. I intend to make my services as financially feasible as possible—including for people with limited means—while respecting my own time, experience, and education.

Oracle and tarot readings have a separate rate per reading.

As I am a spiritual care provider, I do not accept insurance.

Do you accept pro bono clients?

I do! However, I currently have a full roster of pro bono clients, so I am not accepting more at this time.

How do you meet with clients?

I meet with clients by phone, video (FaceTime, Messenger, WhatsApp, other), or in person. We will work together to find the best format. Our first session will often be by phone, as that is more comfortable for most folks.

How often do you meet with clients?

• I meet with clients based on need. I provide weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, and as-needed options for appointments. Spiritual direction is usually a monthly meeting. Oracle readings are at your discretion, but not more than weekly. They are separate from pastoral care, and reimbursed differently.

• Due to my full-time job, my availability is limited but we can work together to find a schedule that will work for us both.

• Often, folks shift the frequency of their appointments based on progress, and I’m always happy to do so, to provide you with the best support.

• Emergency appointments can be discussed in private in our initial meeting.

What is the process for becoming a client?

• We will set up an initial phone or video call to discuss the concerns you’re facing, and you can ask any questions you have.

• After that meeting, you can take some time, as will I, to see if we are a good fit to work together.

• If we are a good fit, we will set up a schedule for appointments, and I’ll provide you with links to my payment platforms.

• From that point, we will move forward and make changes based on your needs and schedule, as well as mine.

What region do you serve?

I am based in California, but work with a variety of folks across the world. As long as we can make time differences work, I am happy to meet with you regardless of your location. (But my only language fluency is English.)

Do you work with children and youth?

My services are only available to adults (18 years of age and older).

Do you provide couples counseling?

Yes. I am happy to work with couples or polycules, but the rate is higher.

What are your expectations for client behavior and our communication?

• I believe people deserve respect and support. I endeavor to be open, courteous, and respectful always. I expect the same of the folks with whom I work.

• If a client feels that I have been disrespectful, or we have a disagreement, it’s my goal to provide a safe atmosphere where it is possible to tell me about your feelings. My aim is to help you know that it is safe to have conflict when each party is respected and respectful.

• If, in the course of our work, it becomes clear that I am not the right person to help you actively grow and heal, it is my preference that we have a respectful conversation to end our time together. 

  • If you stop responding to messages, or become disrespectful, care will be terminated without further discussion.

• I have a zero-tolerance policy for abusive language, discrimination, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, racism, or threats of violence. Such behavior will result in termination of care.

What is your cancellation & no-show policy?

• I work with a lot of disabled folks, and have health challenges of my own, so I am flexible with cancellations and rescheduling.

  • I ask for at least 12 hours’ notice by text if you cannot attend the session. I try to honor that timeline myself, when it’s necessary for me to cancel.

  • If you abruptly become ill, or something arises, that is OK! We’ll reschedule if possible.

  • If a repeated pattern of cancellation persists, we will discuss it, and may revise our appointment schedule, or terminate care.

• Everyone receives one ‘free’ no-show, because we all make mistakes!

  • Further no-shows will be charged the usual rate, and we will discuss if care is right for you.

  • Three no-shows in a row is considered termination of care.

• Clients who terminate care idue to absence or behavior cannot re-engage with me for further care.
