FAQs

Are you LGBTQIA+ affirming?

Button

I am committed to being an LGBTQIA+ ally and to creating a safe and welcoming environment for all my clients where everyone may be seen and heard for who they are, especially those who experience marginalization. Your wellbeing matters to me.

I notice you have a Master of Divinity. Do I have to be religious to work with you?

Button

While I have additional background in theology, spirituality, and mindfulness, I work with people from a wide variety of religions, traditions, and secular worldviews. Since coaching is client-focused, you decide if you want to bring a particular religious practice into the conversation.

I have financial constraints. Do you offer reduced-fee coaching sessions?

Button

I recognize that coaching is often a financial privilege (some even consider it a luxury item...) so I work with clients on income-based fees in some instances. Payment plans are also available for larger packages. Please inquire directly about your particular situation.
