The service that best fits you will depend on what you’re going through and the kind of inner work you’d like to do. If you’re uncertain which is best for you, connect with me to talk about it.

Moving through a significant life change requires a leap of faith into the unknown. So it’s natural to feel:
- Stuck
- Blocked
- Lost
- Anxious
- Unfulfilled
- Uncertain
- Overwhelmed
With spiritual counseling, I can help you find clarity and decide how you want to move forward in your life.

I’ll guide you into a meditative state and talk you through what your mind and body are trying to tell you. Going through this process will help you listen to your inner guidance – and discover how you want to move forward after a major life transition.
How can Depth Hypnosis help me heal?
← back to all questions
This healing method is more targeted and focuses on a specific event, emotion, or thought you’re trying to work through. It’s also cumulative – at the beginning of each session, I’ll help you formulate a question based on the previous session’s experience. So you’ll gain healing momentum over time that moves you from feeling stuck or blocked.
How can Applied Shamanic Counseling help me move through life transitions?
← back to all questions
This healing method also targets and focuses on a specific event, emotion, or thought you’re trying to work through. However, I only recommend this healing method on an as-needed basis because I prefer to take on a passive, guiding role during the healing process — and you’re the only one who knows what’s best for your life.
How can Shamanic Healing Techniques help me find clarity?
← back to all questions
- Discovery Calls or Consultations
- Holistic Health Coaching
- Plant Medicine Preparation & Integration
- Healing With Horses
I don’t provide any formal sessions geared specifically toward these services. Instead, I integrate them into my spiritual counseling on an as-needed basis.
Do you offer any other support or services?

If, for any reason, I’m unable to help you or feel we aren’t a good fit, I will happily recommend another licensed professional for you.

The best thing to do is connect with me so we can talk about what you’d like help with. Then I can recommend the best time frame for us to begin.
How soon can I start working with you?

$165 per 60 minute session.
$190 per 75 minute session.
We can talk to determine which amount time may be best for you.
