How We Work Together
Deep, structured support built around your actual life—not a template.
The Container
My work is built on a retainer model, not an hourly one.
This is a deliberate choice. The work I do extends beyond sessions. It lives in the pauses, in the processing between conversations, in the moments when something I named in a session lands three days later. A transactional hour-by-hour structure does not hold that. A retainer does.
What this means in practice: together, we define starting and ending points, with support between sessions as needed. You are not paying for a clock. You are investing in a relationship designed to accelerate clarity, integration, and change.
Monthly Retainer
A set amount of time each month -- 60, 90, or 120 minutes -- determined by what your work requires.
-
No minimum enrollment commitment
-
Payment auto-charged within the first five days of each month
-
Between-session contact included as part of the container Priority scheduling around your needs, not conventional business hours
-
Sessions by phone or in person (Tacoma, WA)
The right monthly allocation becomes clear during the consultation. This is not a menu -- it is a conversation about what fits.
Time Bank
A block of time purchased upfront, used on your schedule.
-
Flexible session scheduling as needed
-
Actual time used is deducted from the bank
-
No expiration
-
Ideal for people who want access without a fixed monthly cadence
The Consultation
Every engagement begins with a consultation. This is not a sales call. It is a genuine assessment of fit for both of us. Before we meet, I will send you a detailed email with information about the work, including pricing, so you can make an informed decision about whether to proceed.
That email is intentional. I want you to have full transparency before we spend time together. Some people read it and decide this is not for them. That is a good outcome. The people who remain are ready.
The consultation fee is $200, which can be applied toward future work.

What This Is Not
This is not accountability coaching. I will not give you homework, track your goals, or hold you to a weekly action plan.
This is not therapy. I do not diagnose, treat pathology, or bill insurance.
This is not motivational work. I am not here to inspire you. I am here to help you metabolize what is unprocessed so you can operate from a clearer, more internally grounded place.
If you are looking for someone to tell you what to do, this is not the right fit. If you are looking for someone who can meet you in the full complexity of your experience and stay there until something shifts, we should talk.
Remote Clients
I work with clients outside of the Tacoma area by phone. All remote sessions are scheduled in Pacific time. The work translates fully to this format -- depth does not require proximity.
