Mentoring sessions last one hour, and can be completed in-person, by phone, or on Skype. All conversations are held in strict confidentiality. I offer two rates:

Full Rate: $50 / hour
Student Rate (for current high school or college students who will be paying for mentoring sessions themselves): $30 / hour

You may be wondering how long such a relationship will last. This is an excellent question. Although the duration of each mentee-mentor relationship will vary depending on the relationship and your specific goals, process, and wishes, I can offer you a number of potential reasons why the relationship might come to a natural conclusion:

You have satisfied your basic motivations or reached the goals that you set at the beginning of our work together and do not wish to pursue further development through this relationship.
You or I no longer feel willing or able to work together successfully.
You no longer wish to prioritize our work together financially.
You have reached a certain level of self-awareness and development at which we are roughly peers, and it is no longer appropriate for me to be your mentor.

There may be other reasons that our work together will end. However, spiritual development is literally a never-ending process. Our work together could last indefinitely, as long as we both feel that I can be of service to you.

“For close bonds to arise, mentors and youth need to spend time together on a consistent basis over a significant period of time and engage in positive interactions with each other. Close and enduring ties are fostered when mentors adopt a flexible, youth-centered style in which the young person’s interests and preferences are emphasized.”¹ This quote from psychologists Jean Rhodes and Christian Chan, expresses well both the need for regular interaction, and my own preferred style of mentorship. Although new insights and transformations can happen fairly quickly, the deepest and most meaningful results will come over time as trust develops between us. The longer we work together, the more we will trust each other, and the more honest we can be. And in my own spiritual work, I have found honesty to be the golden road to spiritual insight, fulfilled living, and becoming who you really want to be. Please contact me if you would like to set up a session.
