Peer support isn't therapy, it hits different. I'm a certified peer support specialist with lived experience. Think of it this way: therapy usually focuses on diagnoses and treatment plans. Whereas I come from a place of connection and shared experience. We'll build coping strategies together, navigate systems, and process what you're going through so you feel less alone. Many people work with both a therapist and a peer supporter. They complement each other pretty damn well, actually.

I'm a certified peer support specialist, which means I've completed formal training, credentialing, and am required to regularly complete continuing education. But honestly, my biggest qualification is lived experience. I've navigated anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, and the cruddy reality of trying to function when your brain feels like it's working against you. I've got the tools and I've got the talent... as Winston said in Ghostbusters.

I don't provide crisis support, but I can help connect you with resources that do. If you're in immediate danger, please call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or text "HELLO" to 741741 (Crisis Text Line). Further list of emergency numbers and resources can be found further down this page.

Life happens. The fact you're even looking at this is proof of that. You can cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours before your session. Just got to give me a heads up and we'll find a time that works better. Anything within that 24-hour window is non-refundable, though, as that time was specifically held for you. I'm sorry! I'm very mean, I know.

Dude's, dudette's and everybody in-between... that's up to you. You're the director of this flick. Some people check in weekly, others every other week or once a month. We'll figure out what makes sense based on where you're at and what you want.

No! Kidding. Yes, of course you can. Start with 30 minutes and realize you need more time? No problem. Want to scale back? Also fine. Flexibility is kind of the whole point.

Honest answer? It depends. Some people feel relief just from having someone who understands. Others take a few sessions to build momentum. Peer support isn't a quick fix, it's about building tools, shifting perspective, and feeling less alone in the process. Progress looks different for everyone, and that's okay.

Nope. You don't need a formal anything. If you're struggling with your mental health, feeling stuck, lost, heartbroken, or just need someone who gets it while you vent your steam, you can grab a metaphorical chair and metaphorically sit down.

Absolutely. What we discuss is protected and stays between us. The only exception is if you're in immediate danger of harming yourself or others. In that case, I'm required to connect you with emergency resources. Outside of that, everything we talk about is lip zipped.

Suuuuper simple. We meet over secure video call that can be opened in your browser. You just need a private space, internet connection, and a device with a camera (if you choose to be on camera, that is). No commute, no waiting room. I would say no pants but I'm seriously going to kind of need you to be wearing pants.

No, I don't accept insurance. Payment is out-of-pocket, but I keep pricing accessible with flexible session lengths and pay-as-you-go options. You're in complete control of what you spend.

Not at all. You can book single sessions as you go, or save with a package if you want consistently regular support with a discount. Either way works and you decide what feels right. One doesn't get special treatment over the other.

Mostly, we'll just talk. The first session is a lot of getting to know you and you getting to know me. This is where you totally get the floor to share what's on your mind in a very, very low-pressure space.

Then we're not a good fit, and that's perfectly fine! That's why you can start with a free intro call. If at any point you feel like this isn't your thing, no biggie. I can even help point you toward other resources or support options that might be a better match! I mean, I cannot confirm or deny whether I'll need a bowl of ice cream afterward but it's fine... it's fine. We're fine.
