Frequently Asked Questions

Coaching is generally present and forward-focused — it's about clarity, direction, and building the life you want to live. Psychotherapy goes deeper into the past when that's what the work requires. I practice both, but separately. My psychotherapy practice is based in Connecticut.

No. Many people come in with a feeling — something's off, something's shifting — and the goal takes shape as we go. You don't need to have it figured out before we talk.

The right coach is someone you feel understood by and can be honest with. Trust your instincts — if something resonates when you read this site, that's worth exploring. If we talk and it doesn't feel right, I'm happy to provide referrals. Getting the fit right matters.

We talk for 15–20 minutes about what's bringing you to coaching, I share a bit about how I work, and we both get a sense of whether it's a good fit. No pressure, no obligation.

It varies. Some people come weekly for a few months during a transition. Others meet every other week for ongoing support, or do focused work and return when something new comes up. Some prefer the structure of a package. There's no minimum commitment.

Sessions are one-on-one, 60–90 minutes, in person or via secure video. Most of my clients work with me virtually — all you need is a quiet, private space and a stable internet connection. The depth of conversation is the same either way.

Yes. I take your privacy seriously and hold coaching conversations to a high standard of discretion.

I completed a life and spiritual coaching program through Life Purpose Institute. My approach is built on over twenty years in corporate technology — including owning my own IT consulting business — a decade studying philosophy, theology, and world religions, and twelve years of clinical work as a licensed psychotherapist. My clinical training and psychedelic integration training through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute inform how I coach, even though coaching and therapy are distinct practices. More than any credential, what I bring is the ability to meet people where they're at.

Integration is the process of making sense of a psychedelic experience — not just what happened, but what it means and how it connects to the way you want to live. We work together to explore what came up, what shifted, and how to carry those insights forward in a grounded, intentional way. This work is rooted in clinical training, spiritual depth, and a deep respect for the significance of these experiences. It's also worth naming clearly: this is coaching, not therapy. I don't prescribe, administer, or supervise any substance. If you're exploring whether integration coaching is right for you, I'm happy to talk it through in a discovery call.

Absolutely. When I use the word "spiritual," I'm talking about the deeply personal process of making sense of your experiences, finding purpose, and living in alignment with what matters most to you. That can be rooted in faith, nature, relationships, creativity, service, or something else entirely. If you've been hurt by religious institutions or rigid spiritual frameworks, this can be a space to reclaim your own values — free from guilt and absent of shame.

That's a fair question, and you don't have to figure it out on your own. We can talk about it on a discovery call and I'll help you sort out which makes more sense for where you are right now.

Pricing depends on how we work together — single sessions, packages, or ongoing support. You can find more detail on the Start Here page, or we can talk through options on a discovery call.

Yes. I work with clients anywhere in the United States and worldwide where permitted, via secure video.
