Our Consultation Process

A clear pathway from initial contact through actionable insights. Each step builds on the previous one to create comprehensive understanding.

1

Initial Contact and Scheduling

You reach out through your preferred method. We discuss your general situation briefly and schedule a consultation at a time that suits your availability. We send confirmation with preparation suggestions but no mandatory requirements. This flexibility respects your time while setting expectations appropriately.

Comprehensive Consultation Session

We meet and begin with your current situation. You share what brings you to seek consultation and what concerns you most. We ask clarifying questions to understand context fully. Then we discuss potential approaches, considerations, and realistic next steps tailored to your circumstances. Results may vary based on individual situations.
