I currently offer 1:1 mentorship for those seeking greater self understanding and healthier relationships.
My approach draws on cultural and medical anthropology, trauma-informed psychology, liberatory and decolonial relationship philosophy, ancient energetic sciences, and lived experience. Together, we'll look at the complexities and nuances of your unique circumstances with curiosity, compassion, and a willingness to question the beliefs and narratives informing your perspectives.
My areas of support include:
-Relationships, attachment, and betrayal trauma
-Conflict/repair and transformative justice
-Women's circles and community facilitation
-Men and positive masculinity
-Communication, self-advocacy, self-leadership
-Neurodivergence and burnout
-Decolonization, ancestral reconnection, & cultural de-conditioning
-Spirituality, intuition, energy work (Astrology & Human Design)
All sessions are $100 USD per hour.
It's an immersive experience with undivided attention and radically honest truth... for folks who want to heal their relational patterns and are ready to be called into higher integrity.
I am a resource, and what you get depends on what you pull from me. The better the question, the better the answer. If you're not sure what to ask yet, that's a fine place to start, and we'll find the question together.
I don't create a structure or a plan for my clients, so if you need a plan, I might not be the right practitioner for you. I believe that life and the interpersonal dilemmas we struggle with are complex and abstract, so I follow that lead and guide in a non-linear way. As soon as we label or box things in, we lose the benefits of a holistic perspective. Black-and-white thinking is my nemesis. My forte is playing in the grey area with ample curiosity.

Individuals, couples, friends, families, and communities. Anyone seeking greater self-understanding, healthier relationships, or guidance in navigating the complexities of being human. My mentorship is for people who are curious about themselves and open to exploring new ways of understanding and engaging with the world.
We don't follow a curriculum, instead we start with what's alive for you. I intuitively decide on the best modalities to use in each session. I take notes and email you a summary of our time together + any resources or recommendations for integration.
It depends on your goals, and your commitment & openness to the process. Some people reach their goals in 1–4 sessions. Others choose to continue working together for 6–12 months or longer for ongoing mentorship and personal development. Most mentors sell packages, but instead of prescribing a timeline before we've even met, I prefer to offer individual sessions to keep my approach holistic and responsive to your unique needs.
No. The form just tells me a little about you so I know who I'll be connecting with, and then we talk. Together we'll feel out if my work is a good fit for your needs.
I'm a trauma-informed mentor, not a therapist. Counselling involves processing past experiences, whereas my work focuses on where you're stuck in the present, how your experiences and cultural conditioning have contributed to it, and teaching you practical ways to create a different outcome for yourself and for those you're in relationship with.
Absolutely. Just like seeing a therapist, what we discuss in our sessions stays between us, with limited exceptions where disclosure may be necessary to address a serious risk of harm to yourself or others, or where required by law.
My academic background is in cultural & medical anthropology, dialogue facilitation, and psychology. I've been supporting people through rupture and repair for 5 years. And I bring over 40 years of lived experience (fee free to learn more on the 'About' page).
60 min sessions are $100 USD. I currently only take PayPal, unless you're in Canada, then I can also accept e-transfer.
No, as I am not a licensed healthcare practitioner. The downside of mentorship being unregulated is that it isn't covered by insurance, and you have to do your due diligence in finding a mentor (or coach) w/strong ethics. The upside, and in my opinion, one reason so many are seeking mentors over traditional counselling, is that we are free to work outside of conventional therapeutic frameworks and offer more direct, personalized guidance without being bound to clinical approaches. This aligns with my commitment to decolonization, as professional regulation often privileges Western institutions and their definitions of legitimate knowledge and practice. Working outside those structures allows me to honour other ways of knowing and supporting people, including Indigenous, ancestral, and spiritual traditions.
It's possible that I might consider labour exchanges. Some things I can use support with are business operations (creating efficient workflows and systems), as well as online course and resource creation so that my work can help more people.
Otherwise, the money from my mentorships go toward funding my PhD studies in the United States, as I'm unable to access funding as an international student at a private university. Your investment also helps support the time and energy I put into providing free educational content.
By video call on Zoom. I'm in the Pacific Northwest (PDT), on the unceded ancestral territories of the Coast Salish peoples, and I work with people across all time zones.
Fill out the contact form, and I'll be in touch by email to find a time for our first session. Once we've met over Zoom and explored what you'd like guidance with, we can find a regular time and rhythm that suits your needs.
