Consultation for Therapists and Other Healing Practitioners

Individual and Group Consultation

I offer individual and group consultation for healing practitioners seeking to strengthen their clinical work and build more sustainable practices. My consultation style incorporates supporting clinicians to think psychologically, feel emotionally, and bring a deeper state of spiritual presence to their work. In an effort to support you to do your best work, I invite you to explore not just the interventions you provide, but also how your own psychology impacts how you practice. I tend to cultivate an environment for you to feel comfortable being vulnerable and doing personal reflection that supports professional growth.

One of the primary reasons people seek me out for consultation is because I track patterns quickly and speak to them directly. I often do not need several sessions of background discussion to get to the heart of the issue, including when that issue is a very complex relational dynamic. I tend to offer a lot of clarity to situations that feel opaque, out of control, or confusing. I am also frequently sought out by practitioners who are concerned about ethical violations and their own sense of boundaries with the people they serve.

While therapists are often the main people who consult with me, I work with all kinds of healing practitioners. Even if the work you do is not psychological in nature, we may work to understand a psychological dynamic in your healing practice or how your work is impacting you on a psychological level. From there, we can discuss non-psychological interventions that honor whatever what is happening, while staying in your scope of practice.

How often will we see each other?

The cadence of our work together depends on your goals. When practitioners want to make big changes in how they practice, we tend to meet weekly or monthly for a period of time. If your concern is a specific case or more concise issue, we may only meet once. I am flexible to work with you at whatever frequency makes sense for your situation.

What are your rates?

My rates for individual consultation are the same as individual therapy, which I keep updated here.

I work with people from all over the world and live in one of the most expensive cities in the world, so I realize my rates are out of reach for some people, especially in cases where the exchange rate is unfavorable. If that is the case for you, please email me and we can explore if there is an alternate rate that would be amenable to both of us.

Upcoming Consultation Groups

I facilitate consultation groups a few times per year. They run in 8 week segments, meet online via zoom, and are generally scheduled Mondays 9:30am-11:00am Pacific Time. The next group will be in Fall of 2026, October 19th-December 7th. You can learn more or express interest here:
