Sessions are face-to-face either online or in person. Clients are asked to share a written reflection in advance of our meeting to help them articulate what is most alive for them and to give me time to consider their situation in advance of our meeting. Typically conversation takes up the large majority of the time of the session though occasionally specific teachings are offering or assessments are given to help bring clarity or skills to bear on the clients challenge.

I see clients online and in person in my office in San Francisco.

Nearly any notable change one can imagine is fair game for this work. Often there is a mix of several changes going on at once. Examples include career / job change, intimate relationship change, health challenge, death of a loved one, life stage transition (entering adulthood, considering retirement), mid-life reconfiguration. A more general sense of stuckness or misalignment in one's life often enters into this work also.

I am not a licensed therapist. Many of my clients simultaneously work with a therapist. The work I do is oriented around helping you live a values-based life using a change or transition you are currently facing. The clearest comparison that resonates with my clients is that I seek to be a wise uncle in your life. I'm not here to give you advice, I'm here to help you open to your own inner wisdom.

Most clients meet with me every two - four weeks and usually over a period of 6 - 9 months. In working through your change or transition you'll be developing a set of tools and skills that can be applied to future changes in your life and even to your day-to-day life.

I am committed to supporting all who seek help. I am able to do this by having a sliding-scale rate structure. Clients are asked to contribute at a rate that is meaningful to them and aligned to their financial means. Client sessions are billed by the hour and typically last between 60 and 120 minutes.

No, I am not a meditation teacher nor is any meditation experience expected for clients. Occasionally I will use short guided meditations to begin a session or to reinforce a particular teaching.

Teams can be trained in this method in a workshop format where individual team members work on their own change or transition and choose to share what they are comfortable sharing in group discussions. This format can be very powerful for a group committed to more closely aligning as a team.
