Book a Session

FAQ

What should I expect from the call?
Think of it like talking to a patient, non-judgmental friend — someone who actually wants to hear what’s on your heart. You’ll lead the way, and I’ll follow your pace.Will the call feel like therapy?
Not really. This isn’t clinical or scripted. It’s a respectful, two-way conversation — grounded, chill, and fully human. I might offer thoughts if you ask. I might give you a random nickname. But you’ll always be heard.Are you a therapist?
Nope. I’ve done years of personal therapy and even started grad school in psychology, but I had to put it on hold. I'm not licensed, and this isn't a professional psychology service — just a passion project. I’m not here to fix you — just to listen.What kinds of topics are okay?
Honestly, anything. Big or small, funny or heavy, weird or wonderful. You set the tone — I’ll match your energy.What if I get emotional?
That’s okay. There’s no pressure to be polished here. You can cry, ramble, vent, or sit in silence if you need to. This is a soft place to land.Where do calls happen?
All calls are audio-only via Google Meet. I’ll call you at the time you booked — no video, no pressure.Will you always be in a quiet space?
Not always — I live in downtown Chicago, so you might hear the occasional siren, coffee order, or friendly dog. I may be walking or otherwise out and about, but I’ll still be fully present with you. If anything significantly disrupts the call, I’ll reschedule or refund — no problem.Can I cancel or reschedule?
Totally. Life happens. Just use the link in your confirmation email to adjust your session — ideally a few hours in advance.Do I have to pay when I book?
Yes. Payment is required through Calendly at the time of booking. If it’s not completed, the session won’t be confirmed.Can I tip you?
Sure, if you’d like to — but it’s never expected or required. The fact that you're showing up to talk already means a lot.What if I know you personally?
This space was created mainly for people I haven’t met yet — but if you know me and want to book a call, you’re totally welcome to reach out.Are there any boundaries I should know?
Yep. Calls that become hostile, threatening, or sexually inappropriate will be ended immediately with no refund. This is a respectful space meant for connection, not harm. Be kind — and you’ll get the same in return.
