As a licensed Philosophical Counselor, I abide by the American Philosophical Practitioners Association Code of Ethics. Before we begin any sessions together, you will be asked to sign my informed consent agreement so you can be confident that what we explore together remains between us (this includes any email discussions, WhatsApp or similar, and of course in our actual sessions either in person or virtually).

Each Philosophical Counseling session is unique and adapted to your personal needs. Think of our session as a meaningful, relaxed conversation—with a clear purpose. We’ll start by exploring whatever's on your mind, identifying your central questions or concerns. My job is not to diagnose you or hand you easy answers, but rather to guide you in examining your thoughts, assumptions, and beliefs through a philosophical lens. Sessions typically last about 40min and feel like talking to a thoughtful friend—one trained to ask the right questions, offer practical insights, and help you get unstuck. Whether we're sitting across from each other in person or connecting online via Zoom, expect a comfortable, confidential, and judgment-free environment where genuine dialogue meets real-life wisdom.

Not at all! While philosophy forms the core of our conversations, I believe in a holistic approach. Depending on your needs, we'll also explore practical tools such as mindfulness techniques, embodied practices, breathwork, or even "walking philosophy home" in nature—literally, if we’re meeting in person! As a certified coach, my goal is to ensure you leave every session with practical strategies you can immediately apply to your life. (Think deep conversations meet actionable insights—with room to breathe, move, and reflect.)

Yes—but don't worry, it won’t feel like homework! Sometimes I’ll suggest brief exercises, reflective practices, or thoughtful readings to explore between our sessions. More importantly, before we meet, I'll ask you to give me a quick rundown of what you'd like to cover or what's most on your mind. That way, I can ensure our session is focused, valuable, and tailored precisely to you. This quick rundown needs to be in 48 hours before our next session. Failure to do so will likely require us to reschedule your next session.

Do I need to be in a quiet, comfortable space for our session? Yes, please ensure you're somewhere quiet, private, and comfortable, especially if our conversation requires confidentiality or sensitive reflection. Headphones or earphones are helpful to maintain privacy and enhance clarity. Being in the right environment ensures you can fully engage, feel safe sharing openly, and that our conversation remains productive and uninterrupted. (Plus, it's hard to tackle big life questions with noisy distractions!)

There's no one-size-fits-all—everyone's journey is unique. However, I recommend starting with weekly sessions to build momentum, dive deeper, and experience real progress. Once you find your rhythm, we can adjust the frequency as you see fit. Many clients find that one session per week initially provides the best clarity and growth. Ultimately, the pace is entirely up to you. (Though I'll gently nudge you toward weekly at first, because consistency equals clarity!)

Sessions need to be paid in advance before we meet. You can conveniently pay via Wise, PayPal, credit or debit card (I'll send you an invoice), or even good old-fashioned cash if we're meeting in person. (One less thing to think about during our chat—so we can focus fully on you.)
