Is this therapy? No. I am a Trauma-Informed Sovereignty Coach, not a licensed therapist. If you are in an active crisis or need a clinical diagnosis, traditional therapy is the right place for you. My work focuses on the present. We don’t spend years analyzing the past; we look at the behavior patterns and survival responses you are currently using, figure out what is causing friction, and build a structured plan so you can actually start living on your own terms.

I’ve tried life coaching and didn't like it. How is this different? If you are looking for sticky-sweet affirmations, vision boards, or someone to tell you to "just look on the bright side," this isn't for you. I don't do toxic positivity, and I don't use rigid, clinical checklists. I provide practical, straightforward tools to help you regulate your nervous system, set ironclad boundaries, and take control of your life.

Do you work with specific diagnoses or labels? I work with the human underneath the label. You are completely welcome—and encouraged—to bring your existing diagnoses to the table. I want to know your history. I want you to feel comfortable disclosing your entire inventory, and I specifically want to know what has worked for you in traditional therapy, and more importantly, what hasn't.

While I do not provide medical treatment for clinical conditions, I have extensive experience working alongside over-analytical and neurodivergent minds, as well as clients navigating the fallout of complex trauma (C-PTSD), Narcissistic abuse patterns, and high-conflict Borderline dynamics.

A major part of Sovereignty Coaching is using that history to dismantle the "I am" from the "I have." The traditional mental health system often teaches people to wear their struggles as an identity. You bring the labels you’ve been given, and together we do the heavy lifting to separate your actual personality from the survival mechanisms and dysregulation you have been carrying. We stop letting a clinical box dictate how you live.

What exactly are the Bouncer and Obsidian Protocols? They are tactical, heavy-duty tools for managing your boundaries and your energy. The Bouncer Protocol is about learning how to stop automatically absorbing the stress and dysregulation of the people around you. The Obsidian Protocol is a practical framework for handling high-conflict dynamics or avoidant loops without ever putting your reality on the "witness stand" to defend it.

How long will we work together? Until you don't need me anymore. The ultimate goal of Sovereignty Coaching is your absolute autonomy. We work together to get you out of survival mode, regulate your nervous system, and establish boundaries that actually stick. Once you are comfortable navigating your life and relationships confidently, my job is done.

What are your rates, and do you take insurance? Because my coaching practice operates outside the traditional medical model, I do not accept insurance. My standard out-of-pocket rate is $60 for a 50-minute individual session.

• Overtime: Sometimes we hit a crucial point right at the end of a session. If we mutually agree to keep going past the 50-minute mark to finish the thought, overtime is billed at $30 per 15 minutes.

• The Deep Dive (2-Hour Block): For some people, 50 minutes simply isn't enough time to decompress, regulate, and still get meaningful work done. If you know you need a longer runway to settle in before we tackle the heavy lifting, you can book a 2-hour Deep Dive session for $120. This gives you the unhurried space you need while completely bypassing the overtime rate.

What happens in the free 30-minute Threshold Intake? This is a strict zero-pressure vibe check. Before you commit to any coaching, we need to make sure my direct, practical approach is the right fit for your personality and goals. We will talk about what is currently draining your energy, and you can decide if you want to move forward and do the work together.
