  • I offer a 15-minute phone consultation at no charge. This is a chance for us to connect, explore what you're looking for, and explore if it’s good fit. We can also talk through logistics, answer any questions you may have, and discuss next steps if you'd like to move forward. There’s no pressure — just an open space to get a sense of how we might work together.

  • Your privacy is deeply valued. While sessions take place in natural, public settings — such as trails, parks, or a working barn — we remain committed to upholding your confidentiality. Please be aware that these environments may offer less privacy than traditional therapy spaces. We will take thoughtful steps to protect your information, and we can always pause or adjust our location if needed. Your comfort and trust are essential to our work together.
