For colleagues
Hey, colleague.
This page is here to support our shared work — the scope, the competencies, and how to refer a client with confidence.
Scope of practice.
I do not diagnose, treat, or provide therapy. The work is present-focused, collaborative, and entirely client-led.
Certifications:
- Primal Health Coaching
- Mental Health First Aid Instruction
- Dietary Supplement Education
- Cannabis Wellness Advising
- Consensual Non-Monogamy Coaching
How coaching supports client progress.
Coaching helps a client carry the work into daily life — with consent, autonomy, and integration at the center.
- Behavior-change follow-through
- Health routines and sustainable rest
- Cannabis wellness tracking
- Relationship design and planning
- Sex-positive, identity-affirming support
- Systems that fit a real life
Ethics and professional standards.
Practice is aligned with the standards of ICF, NBHWC, AASECT, Mental Health First Aid, IPHM, NCSF.
The non-negotiables: safety, dignity, informed consent, non-discrimination, trauma-aware practice, and legal compliance.
Who's a good referral.
Clients who are stable and self-aware, in therapy or finished with it, and looking for support applying the work day to day. No formal clinical handoff required.
Easy referrals start here.
Send a client my way, or join the provider directory for capacity updates and resources.

Book a networking call, or just send a message. Colleague to colleague.

Questions colleagues ask.
Is this therapy?
No. This is non-clinical coaching. There is no diagnosis, treatment, or therapy — the work is present-focused, collaborative, and client-led.
Which clients are a good fit?
Stable, self-aware adults who are in therapy or have completed it, and who want support applying the work day to day.
How is this different from what you do?
You do the clinical work. Coaching supports follow-through — routines, relationship design, integration — alongside or after your care.
What about confidentiality?
What a client shares stays private, held to informed-consent and non-discrimination standards, with only the narrow disclosures the law requires.
Do you coordinate care?
No formal clinical handoff is required. When a client wants coordination and consents to it, I'm glad to stay in touch.
