Let’s find the right starting point

You don’t need to have everything worked out before reaching out. We can start with what brings you here. Every message comes to me.

Start here

Are We A Good Fit?

This is not a sales call. It is an opportunity to explore what brings you here, determine whether we’re a good fit, and identify the most appropriate next step. You don’t need a perfectly organized story or a clear roadmap before we meet. Come as you are.

  • 30 minutes, by video
  • $1, paid at booking
  • No pressure. No scripts. Just an honest conversation.

Why $1?

The $1 fee is intentional. It creates a mutual commitment that we will both show up prepared, present, and ready for a real conversation from day one.

What happens next

Choose a time that suits you. A confirmation arrives by email with the details of the call. If I’m not the right resource for your situation, I’ll tell you that too.

Scope & safety

My services provide education, consultation, research translation, and evidence-informed guidance grounded in developmental psychology, attachment theory, trauma research, adoption studies, and lived experience. These services are not psychotherapy, mental health treatment, legal advice, medical care, or emergency crisis intervention.

Consultations are for adults. I do not accept anyone under 18 as a client. Read the Consent for Consultation.

Privacy commitment: Conversations are treated with professionalism, discretion, and respect. Payment is required at booking, and the full scheduling and cancellation policies are provided in Calendly.
