Your Trusted Life'style' Consultant
How can I help?
I’m here to offer genuine support, practical ideas, and a caring ear—no judgment,
no one-size-fits-all scripts. I’m not about cookie-cutter advice or polite one-liners;
I’m a real person with real opinions and plenty of life experience.
Sometimes what I say won’t be perfectly “PC,” but it’ll always be honest, compassionate,
and genuinely aimed at helping you move forward.
​
Above all, I want you to see yourself as you truly are in this moment, not just who you wish you could be.
When we work from a place of honesty and self-awareness, real change becomes possible.
Practical Support & Real Talk
Ideal For: If you’re looking for specific guidance, brainstorming, or feedback to tackle personal, relationship, or work-related challenges—including the emotional toll of divorce, separation, or navigating the criminal justice system.
Includes:
-
Personalized Sessions: Focused on your situation—no cookie-cutter formulas.
-
Constructive Feedback & Actionable Suggestions: Fresh perspectives to help you navigate difficult conversations, manage stress, and stay grounded.
-
Follow-Up Support: Option for email or chat check-ins if you need clarification or want to brainstorm new ideas as they arise.
-
Divorce/Separation Support: Even the most amicable divorce can turn messy once emotions run high. I’m here as a neutral sounding board so you’re not battling on multiple fronts. While I’m not a lawyer, I can help you manage the emotional side of divorce—so your attorney can focus on legal issues. By assisting with balanced communication and thoughtful responses, we can reduce costly legal battles and keep the process calm, clear, and constructive for everyone involved.
-
Criminal Justice Support: If you’re facing charges or have a loved one in the legal system, the stress can be overwhelming. Attorneys often don’t have the bandwidth to address every emotional or logistical concern. That’s where I come in—helping you and your family understand the process, prepare for what lies ahead, and communicate effectively, so your lawyer can concentrate on the legal strategy. With my guidance, you can reduce anxiety and keep everyone on the same page, ultimately saving time, money, and unnecessary conflict.
Medical Navigation Support
Ideal For: Anyone facing a medical situation—routine or urgent—who wants help understanding doctor visits, medical instructions, and general healthcare communication. Sometimes you want to be there for a loved one, but can’t find the time or emotional energy to handle it all—this is where I can step in.
Includes:
-
Pre-Visit Consultation: We’ll outline the key questions you (or your loved one) want to ask your healthcare provider.
-
Appointment Preparation: Tips on note-taking, what to expect during the visit, and how to communicate concerns effectively.
-
On-Your-Behalf Support: If you’re unable to attend or feel too overwhelmed, I can step in to gather important information and relay it back to you—always respecting medical privacy regulations.
-
Travel Assistance & Remote Updates: If specialized or experimental treatment requires travel far from home, I can accompany the patient, handle real-time communication, and keep everyone informed back home. This way, even if you can’t take time off, you’ll stay up to date on every detail.
-
Post-Visit Review: Together, we’ll go over the doctor’s recommendations so you (or your loved one) fully understand instructions, next steps, and any follow-up needs.
-
Emotional Sounding Board: Medical situations can be stressful. I’m here to listen, ease concerns, and provide clarity when things get confusing.

One-on-one discussion about the message context
-
Collaborative drafting to get the tone just right
-
Final proofreading and light editing
Juvenile Mentoring & Support
Ideal For: Parents, guardians, or professionals looking for a “big brother” type presence—someone who can connect with kids on a personal level, offer an open ear, and provide honest feedback without judgment. This can be especially helpful if a child is facing legal issues or at risk of involvement with the criminal justice system, and you want someone who understands the realities they’re up against.
Includes:
-
Safe Communication Space: Your child can message or talk to me about anything on their mind—no topic is off-limits.

Real-Talk Approach: Kids see through pretense. I believe in speaking honestly and directly, while still being caring and supportive.

Criminal Justice Insight: If your child is dealing with the criminal system, I can help them understand what’s going on, communicate effectively, and stay focused on positive choices during a stressful time.*
-
Respect for Their Voice: I’m here to validate their feelings, brainstorm solutions, and empower them to take charge of their own story.
Open Ears
Ideal For: When you just need someone to listen—no judgment, no advice, just a safe space to talk.
Includes:
-
A private, confidential one-on-one session (via phone call, video call, or chat)

Empathetic listening without interjecting advice (unless asked)

Flexible scheduling
