Professional Consulting

We all do better with someone in our corner. Someone encouraging us, reminding us of the goals we want to pass, and lending their knowledge and expertise to us. To set aside a time to get support, consider consultation. Professional consultation is not supervision or psychotherapy and is not intended to be a replacement for them.

The intention is to answer all your current questions while we co-create strategies for your goals. If there’s something I don’t know, I’ll work to find the answer for you. We will collaborate on how often we meet and support is available between group meetings while we work together. You will always leave with resources for the future.
