ConsultingI work with people who are good at what they do but have run into something they can’t resolve.
Therapy vs. Consulting
People often reach out to me because they are navigating something personal or professional and they’re not sure whether they need therapy or consultation. These are different kinds of relationships, and it is important to clarify the role from the beginning.
-
Therapy
Therapy is a clinical relationship focused on your emotional and psychological wellbeing. In therapy, we may work with anxiety, depression, and other areas of mental health. Therapy may include assessment and diagnosis, and assists with your healing, functioning, and psychological flexibility.
-
Consulting
Consulting is not therapy. It is a professional advisory relationship focused on a personal or professional challenge, role, project, transition or decision. In consulting, I do not provide mental health treatment, diagnosis, psychotherapy, or crisis support. I do help you think clearly, act wisely, and align your choices with your values, strengths, and long-term goals.

Consultation is best if you are:
At a personal or professional crossroads
Your life is chaotic and stressful, and you need direction
Challenged by leadership decisions
Need to establish healthier habits
Want to level up at work, or at life in general
Interested in launching a new or creative project
-
As your consultant I will:
Hold you accountable
Encourage you
Clarify your unique genius and chosen values
Help you map out the topography of your challenge
Uncover your hidden psychological barriers
Guide you in practical skills to strengthen attention, navigate emotions, amplify motivation, and take flexible action when obstacles arise
Together we will build a life that reflects who you are, what you are good at, and what you care about.
Why the Distinction Matters
Because I am a licensed psychologist, I take role clarity seriously. Therapy and consulting carry different responsibilities, boundaries, and expectations. For that reason, we will decide together at the outset which role is the best fit and keep that frame clear.
