Frequently Asked Questions

Before you consider working with me, you may have questions.

You likely have questions about this work. The answers below are here to help you decide whether this process aligns with where you are right now.

  • No.

  • I work exclusively through a monthly subscription model based on session length and frequency.

    Weekly 60-minute sessions are $900 per month.

    Bi-weekly 60-minute sessions are $450 per month.

    If you would like up to 90 minutes per weekly session, the monthly fee is $1,350.

  • I offer sessions that range from 60 to 90 minutes in length.

  • The pain of disillusionment often presents as dissociation.

    When the identity that anchored you begins to collapse, the nervous system registers it as threat. The structures that once organized perception, belonging, and safety are destabilized. Without that framework, orientation falters.

    Dissociation is not random. It is protective. When the familiar self-structure is being dismantled, the system creates distance from the experience. You may feel unreal, detached, numb, or fragmented. At the same time, anxiety and panic can surge because you feel disoriented and unanchored. Depression can follow as energy drops in response to prolonged destabilization.

    What once regulated you is being destroyed. The ego, as heteronomous identity, functioned as an anchor. When it dissolves, there is a period where nothing feels solid.

    This does not mean you are regressing. It means the old anchor is gone and a new center has not yet consolidated.

    The pain of disillusionment is the interval between the collapse of external anchoring and the emergence of internal sovereignty.

  • The destabilization that accompanies ego dissolution must be regulated at the level of the nervous system.

    Somatic integration practices help re-anchor awareness in the body.

    In some cases, psychotropic support may be appropriate. This can include prescription medications under psychiatric supervision or plant-based and traditional herbal supports within established medical systems such as Chinese medicine or other naturopathic approaches.

    You will likely need to adjust your lifestyle during this period.

    This often requires scaling back commitments. Reduce nonessential responsibilities. Limit high-stakes decisions. Decrease social and professional demands where possible. Create structural simplicity.

    The goal is conservation of cognitive and emotional resources. When the identity that once organized your functioning is dissolving, the system needs margin. Simplifying your external load allows the internal restructuring to occur without unnecessary strain.

  • Yes. A third party, such as a family member, may cover the cost of services. If someone else is paying on your behalf, they will be required to complete and sign a payment authorization form confirming their consent and responsibility for the fees.

  • There is no fixed timeline. This is not a short-term intervention. You should expect the work to unfold over several years, not within a single year.

    All of my clients have worked with me for a minimum of two years and have continued beyond that. The process moves through two stages of ego death.

    The longest stage is the first: the transition from heteronomy to autonomy. This phase requires sustained restructuring of identity and nervous system regulation, and it cannot be rushed.

  • If Lucifer is understood only through mythology, the archetype is reduced to a moral caricature.

    I use the term to describe a function of consciousness: the force that reveals what is hidden.

    Revelation can feel threatening because it removes illusion. Without that distinction, it is easy to project evil onto what simply exposes what is false.
