Breathwork & grounding
Real-time tools for when the nervous system is louder than the mind. Box breathing, body scans, sensory anchoring — built to use the moment you notice you need them.
What to Expect
From the first email to a steady cadence.
Most families want to know what they're walking into. Here's the honest version.
- 01
Free 20-minute consult
We get on Zoom or the phone. You tell me what's going on. I tell you whether I'm the right fit — and if I'm not, I help you find who is. No charge, no pressure.
- 02
First full session
We map the actual landscape: what's happening, who's involved, what's been tried, what hasn't. I share what I notice and what would be different about working with me.
- 03
Cadence & focus
Most clients start weekly for 4–6 weeks while we get traction. After that, frequency drops as you build skill. Sessions are 50 minutes.
- 04
Coordination of care
If you've got a therapist, doctor, school, or program in the picture, I coordinate with them — with your permission — so you're not the one threading the needle alone.
In our work together
Practices that may show up in a session.
The four lenses I bring are theoretical — these are what they look like in practice. We use whatever earns its keep for you.
Meditation & guided practice
Brief, fits-into-a-real-day meditations for stress, energy, or reset. Practical over aspirational. The version you'll actually do, not the one you mean to.
Journaling & vision work
Putting thoughts on paper changes them. Reflective prompts, gratitude practice, vision boards, and future-self visualization for the goals that feel too far away.
Movement as medicine
Yoga, walks, stretching, dance — using the body to access the mind, especially when the mind won't slow down on its own. Not athletic. Just embodied.
Music, nature & sensory anchors
Soundscapes (binaural beats, the 528Hz tone), time outside, and other low-cost regulation tools. The kind of thing you can reach for at 7am on a Tuesday.
Daily structure & focus
Routines, planners, time management, breaking procrastination — the executive-function scaffolding that quietly changes everything, whether you're a student trying to keep up or a parent helping someone through it.
Grief, loss, and resilience-building are also frequent threads — especially with families navigating a hard season. We’ll meet whatever the actual work turns out to be.
For parents asking
“Is this coaching, or therapy?”
They're different tools, and they often work together. Here's the honest difference.
Coaching
What I do.
- Forward-focused — we work on goals, patterns, and skills you want to change.
- For people who are well enough to actively engage and want a non-clinical partner.
- Typically not billed through insurance. Private pay; sliding scale available.
- Coordinates with schools, doctors, and therapists already in the picture.
Therapy
What I'll help you find if it's the right fit.
- Treats clinical conditions — diagnosable mental-health concerns, trauma, crisis.
- For people whose primary need is healing or stabilization, not goal-pursuit.
- Often covered by insurance; licensed therapists work within clinical scope.
- Coaching can run alongside therapy when both are useful — not instead of it.
Not sure which fits? The free 15-minute consult is built for exactly this. If therapy is what you actually need, I'll help you find the right person.
Frequently asked
The questions parents and clients ask most.
How long are sessions, and how often do we meet?
Sessions are 50 minutes. Most clients start weekly for 4–6 weeks while we get traction, then drop to biweekly or as-needed once skills are taking hold. The free initial consult is 15 minutes.
Is this coaching, or therapy?
Coaching. I'm trained as a counselor and I work in a trauma-informed way, but coaching is forward-focused: we work on what you want to change, not your diagnosis or trauma history. If therapy is what you actually need, I'll help you find the right person.
Do you take insurance?
Coaching is a private-pay service and is not billed through insurance. I can provide a paid receipt on request. Sliding-scale options are available for families who need them — please mention this in your initial email.
Will you talk to my child's school, doctor, or therapist?
Yes — with your written permission. Coordination across schools, IEP/504 teams, doctors, therapists, and other supports is one of the most useful things I do. You shouldn't have to be the one threading the needle alone.
What if my teen doesn't want to come?
Then we usually start with parent coaching. Coaching only works when the person engaging in it actually wants to engage; forcing a teen into the room rarely helps. We can work on what *you* are navigating, and figure out together what your teen would actually be open to.
Are sessions in person or remote?
Both. I see clients in person in the Tampa area and remotely throughout Florida and beyond.
How do I know if you're the right fit?
The 15-minute consult is built for exactly this. You tell me what's going on; I tell you whether I'm the right person to help — and if I'm not, I help you find who is. No charge, no pressure.
How fast can we start?
Usually within a week or two of your first email. The free consult is the gating step; once we agree we're a fit, scheduling the first full session is straightforward.
