Why I Only Work With a Limited Number of Clients.
And what that means for you, if you're considering working with me.
There are a lot of problems in the world. There are a lot of problems I could help with.
And if you're reading this, you probably have one. A real one, not a theoretical one.
The kind that sits with you when you wake up at 3am. The kind that's been quietly shaping decisions, relationships, and the way you show up, for longer than you'd like to admit.
When you have a problem like that, it matters to you now. Not eventually. Not in six months when a group program starts. Now.
That's the whole reason I limit how many people I work with at once.
What most practitioners won't tell you
The standard model for scaling a coaching or therapy practice is volume. More clients, more sessions, more revenue.
It makes obvious business sense.
And it produces obvious results: practitioners who are spread thin, clients who feel like a number, and a process that's been diluted to accommodate everyone.
I studied this work, really studied it, not to build a content library or a group program. I studied it to find the approaches that produce results as quickly and as cleanly as possible, for people who genuinely need them. The methods that get to the root of the problem, not just the surface of it.
That kind of work requires presence.
Not the performed presence of a practitioner who's half-checking their calendar while you're talking. Actual presence: the kind where I'm tracking not just what you're saying but what's happening underneath it, where the real pattern lives.
You cannot provide that level of support with 1-on-1 sessions to 50 individuals simultaneously. I've tried to do the math on it, and it doesn't work. So I chose to do something different.
What actually happens in this work
Most people come to me after they've already tried the obvious things.
Therapy. Coaching. Retreats. The books. The journaling. Maybe even some form of tapping or energy work on their own.
And they've gotten something from most of it, but not enough. "The thing that's running in the background" is still running.
The reason for that is not that they haven't tried hard enough, or that they don't understand the problem intellectually. They usually understand it extremely well.
The reason is that understanding a problem and changing how your nervous system responds to it are two completely different things, and nobody trained most of us that there was even a distinction to make.
These issues don't live in the rational mind. They live in the body, in the limbic system, in the subconscious patterns that were set down long before you had language to describe them.
What I do in sessions is work at that level.
We find the experiences, often ones you haven't thought about in years, that trained your brain to operate the way it does.
We look at what you learned to believe about yourself, about safety, about what you're allowed to have.
And then we change how those experiences have been internalized. Not the history itself. The blueprint your brain has been drawing from every time it decides how to respond.
That's a more precise process than it sounds. It takes focus. It takes someone in the room who knows where they're going, even when the session gets uncomfortable or strange or funny, and it often gets all three.
What people actually experience
I'll say what I'm confident saying, which is this: most people notice something shifting within the first session or two.
Not always the dramatic one-and-done they were hoping for.
(Although, sometimes it is!)
Sometimes it's subtler than that. But something:
A memory that used to carry weight, sitting differently.
A pattern they'd been trying to change for years, losing its grip.
A decision they'd been avoiding, becoming suddenly obvious.
What surprises people most is the carry-over. They come in to work on one thing, and three weeks later they notice changes in areas we never directly touched. That's not a coincidence.
When you change the underlying system, the symptoms of that system change with it, whether you addressed them explicitly or not.
Scott Schultz, a counselor and case manager who has worked with tapping modalities for over twenty years, put it this way after our sessions: the results were deeper than anything he'd been able to produce with those same methods alone.
He came in with traumatic memories from a decade of heartbreak and loss that therapy had never fully resolved. He left with those memories sitting differently, or not registering at all, when he tried to recall them.
Anda, who had been struggling with deep-seated patterns for years, noticed her daily behavior changing after just a couple of sessions, without effort, without actively trying to change anything. She'd been skeptical that the method would do much at all.
Emily, who described herself as stuck in a rut of stress, anger, and resentment with no end in sight, described the result like this: "My soul can breathe again and my heart can feel."
These are not exceptional cases. They're representative ones.
What the waitlist is, and how it works
I keep a small active caseload and a waitlist for people who want to work with me when space opens up. The waitlist exists because the work is worth doing right, and doing it right means not doing it with everyone at once.
Before I take anyone on, I want to understand where you are and what you're dealing with. Not to screen you out. Most people who find their way to this work belong here. But because the session is more useful when I know what I'm walking into, and so is the conversation we'd have before you decide to invest.
The Inner Performance Score is the place to start.
It's a short assessment that helps clarify what's quietly limiting your success and fulfillment: which patterns are most active, where the pressure is coming from, and whether this kind of work is likely to be the right fit for where you are right now.
It takes about ten minutes.
At the end, you'll have a clearer picture of what's driving the things you've been trying to change - and if it makes sense to connect, we'll go from there.
One more thing, because it's true and it seems worth saying plainly: if you're not ready for this, that's fine.
Some people read something like this and feel curious but not urgent. That's a different moment than the person who reads it and recognizes themselves in it immediately.
If you're in the second group - if the thing you've been carrying has been with you long enough, and you've tried enough other approaches, and you're at the point where you genuinely need something to shift - then the score is the right next step.
The problems that really matter to us don't wait for the right time. They're already here.
