This is a sacred working relationship, not a friendship, and not an emergency support system. While we may connect deeply and walk through intimate terrain together, there are clear boundaries around how we relate, how we communicate, and how the space is held.
I am not a therapist, and this is not therapy. That said, I may share aspects of my personal experience when it feels relevant to the work. I do this not to blur lines or create a friendship outside of our container, but to help us understand one another and to meet each other in our full humanity. Even if we share similar circles, beliefs, or communities, I do not engage in close personal friendships with clients during or immediately after our work together. This is not out of distance, it is out of respect for the integrity of the space we’ve entered.
Throughout our time together, you’re welcome to email me with reflections, questions, or threads you’d like me to hold. I read everything you send and will respond when I’m able, typically within a few days. If something feels especially tender or layered, we’ll bring it into our next session and tend to it there, with the space and presence it needs.
I do not respond to crisis-style or urgent “911” messages. I am not available for on-call emotional support or frequent texting between sessions. I also don’t use texting as a form of communication in my practice. Email or voice memos are the best way to reach me, and I’ll reply in a thoughtful, spacious way, not immediately. This helps protect both of our energy and keeps the work rooted and steady.
This is slow, soul-rooted work. It unfolds in its own rhythm. The space between sessions matters just as much as the sessions themselves. It’s not a gap to be filled, it’s where the integration happens.
Thank you for honoring the pace and the boundaries that make this work safe, respectful, and real.
