FAQs
What exactly do you offer to the family system?
How I support looks different for every family. My goal for each family is an increased ease of life. Often, these non-normative family experiences can feel hopeless, isolating, and singular. I offer lived experience in making it through similarly hopeless terrain, as well as a felt freedom that comes from seeing and supporting countless other families make it through as well. By entering your family as a partner and engaging, at your pace, with empathy, joy, and interest, I cultivate the trust and connection needed to navigate challenges with greater ease.
Are you comfortable working with my family without the goal of building skills or engaging in new activities?
Of course! While I always model building a scaffolded skillset, I respect that engaging in any kind of skills-building can be triggering. For families and children experiencing burnout, often, the most valuable service I can offer is simply showing up as a genuinely interested, boundary-respecting adult figure who is outside of the family system. This alone can be just as beneficial when supporting children who have fractured trust with educators and other professionals.
How should I introduce you to my child?
I am partial to whatever title makes you and your child feel most comfortable. I have been introduced as: Support Specialist, Artist, Mentor, Adventure Guide, Fisherman, Wrestling Coach, Board Gamer, Family Friend and Dinner guest.
Getting Started
My standard rate for families is $150 per hour. I offer a sliding scale to those who need it. At this time, I am not able to accept insurance.
While my schedule is currently full, I'd be happy to add you to my waitlist. If you have questions or would like to explore what our work together could look like, please reach out by email or text and we can set up a free-of-charge virtual meeting.
