PRIVATE MENTORSHIP

Work With Me Privately

I work privately with a small number of individuals each year who feel called into a deeper understanding of their life’s meaning, the timing and purpose of their life's events, and their archetypal constitution. This work is not coaching, an astrology reading, or a pre-designed, one-size-fits-all personal development curriculum. It is an immersive, scholarly, research-based, psychological and cosmological inquiry into the patterns and archetypal cycles that have formed your life up to this point.

 

Every private mentorship begins with an Archetypal Assessment.

 

This is the sole entry point into deeper work with me.

The Archetypal Assessment

A depth-psychological and cosmological diagnostic for those navigating a significant life transition or who want to connect more deeply with their soul and the soul of the cosmos.

The Archetypal Assessment is a private, in-depth evaluation designed to illuminate the archetypal cycle (life transition), recurring patterns, timing, and symbolic intelligence that is currently expressing itself through your life.

This assessment draws from my research in:

  • Jungian depth psychology and individuation theory

  • Archetypal cosmology, including archetypal astrology as a diagnostic tool

  • Synchronicity theory

  • Fractal–holographic and cosmopsychist perspectives

  • Depth-psychological stone symbolism and Western esoteric correspondences

  • Subconscious inquiry and hypno-psychoacoustic methods

This work is for individuals who sense that something meaningful is unfolding in their lives—an inner psychological change, a transition into a new stage of life, a profound calling—and want to understand the deeper process that is at work so they can get clarity on their life's most fruitful path and embrace their cosmological vocation.

“Man becomes whole, integrated, calm, fertile, and happy when (and only when) the process of individuation is complete, when the conscious and the unconscious have learned to live at peace and to complement one another.”


― C. G. Jung, Man and His Symbols

What the Assessment Reveals

The Cosmological Assessment is an inquiry into the deeper patterns and cycles that are forming your experience at this moment in your life. Rather than offering prediction or certainty, the assessment clarifies the specific symbolic forces, archetypal constellations, psychological dynamics, and cosmological rhythms that are active for you right now. Each strand of this exploration contributes to a more coherent sense of life direction, deep meaning, and radical possibility for your life.

Your Current Transition

We explore the nature of the moment you are in—what is opening, what feels intensified, and what themes are emerging with new energy and momentum. This includes both the psychological nature of your experience and the symbolic-archetypal qualities that define this particular transition.

Your Archetypal Constellation

We look closely at the recurring motifs, symbolic patterns, and developmental themes that have shaped your life over time. These patterns often reveal an underlying coherence, offering insight into how your deeper identity expresses itself and how it may be evolving.

Your Current Archetypal Cycle

We look at the broader cycles and developmental rhythms relevant to your current stage of life. This may include periods associated with restructuring, breakthrough, dissolution, deep transformation, or renewal. Here we interpret the current archetypal energy, offering a symbolic understanding of why now feels the way it does.

Your Synchronicity Signature

We review the symbolic events, encounters, and meaningful coincidences appearing in your world. These often point toward emerging patterns or necessary shifts. By working with synchronicity in a grounded way, we begin to see how the psyche expresses itself through outer event connections.

Your Subconscious Patterns

Through guided inner work aided by brainwave entrainment, we explore the beliefs, emotions, and internal elements that may be forming your perception and choices. This reveals what may be seeking resolution, integration, or development in order to move into a clearer sense of purpose at this time.

Your Symbolic Resonance

For those who wish to include stonework, the assessment can incorporate the selection of a stone whose symbolic qualities correspond with your current archetypal themes. This is approached through radiesthetic analysis and serves as a grounding, tangible companion in the great cosmological work.

The purpose of this process is not to offer you answers from outside of your life but to illuminate the deeper wisdom and coherence that is already alive within you. This will help you to recognize the deeper meaning that is already present in your experience, and to understand the direction and path that your psyche and life circumstances are inviting you to embark on.

What the Process Looks Like

The Archetypal Assessment unfolds in three intentional stages. Each stage serves a distinct purpose and creates the foundation for the depth of understanding that follows.

PHASE I
Pre-Assessment Intake

Before we meet, you’ll have time to complete a written reflection that explores your life history, recurring patterns, meaningful coincidences, and the nature of the transition you are currently experiencing. These questions invite you to begin articulating the themes that have shaped your development so far and the psychological or symbolic material that feels active now.

 

Many people notice that this reflective process alone brings insight.
It slows the pace of everyday life and allows the deeper layers of meaning to come forward. It also gives me a sense of the archetypal and emotional contours of your experience so our time together can be precise and grounded.

PHASE II
The Assessment Session

We meet privately via Zoom for a deep, structured conversation that examines the symbolic, psychological, and cosmological dimensions of your current experience. The session can be anywhere from 90-120 minutes or more if needed.

This may include:

• An exploration of your archetypal constellation
• A look at the developmental cycle you are experiencing
• Discussion of synchronicities or meaningful events
• Clarification of repeating motifs or challenges
• Guided subconscious inquiry to uncover deeper material
• Optional archetypal stonework, if supportive

The session is spacious and contemplative, and we move at a deliberate pace while following the material that naturally reveals itself. The session is approached with attention to clarity, nuance, and emotional resonance. This is not a diagnostic encounter in the clinical sense; it is an interpretive, symbolic, and depth-oriented inquiry designed to illuminate what is most essential for you and active in your experience right now.

PHASE III
Post-Assessment Reflection

After the session, I take 24-48 hours to sit with what emerged and consider its implications. This reflection period allows me to integrate the archetypal, psychological, and symbolic material in a coherent way and to discern whether deeper work together would be beneficial.

 

You will then receive a written synthesis that summarizes the key insights from the Assessment, including:
 

  • Your current archetypal cycle

  • The patterns that are constellating within your psyche

  • The psychological or symbolic themes seeking integration

  • The direction your life appears to be moving toward

  • My recommendation for next steps

 

Some individuals find that this synthesis offers the clarity they were seeking. For others, the Assessment reveals the beginning of a much deeper process. In those cases—and only when truly aligned—you may receive an invitation into ongoing private mentorship through The Cosmological Self™ program.

Who the Archetypal Assessment is For

The Archetypal Assessment is intended for individuals who sense that their life is moving through a meaningful transition and who wish to understand that movement more clearly, rather than rush to resolve it or explain it away. It is also for those who wish to know with deeper certainty their place in the cosmos and how they can fulfill that mission, what I call their cosmological vocation.

 

This work tends to resonate with people who are reflective by nature, who value depth and coherence, and who are willing to sit with complexity long enough for meaningful insight to emerge. Many come to the assessment during moments of reorientation—integrating wisdom later in life, vocational questioning, creative or philosophical renewal, or periods when long-standing patterns need to be understood in a new way.

 

It is especially well-suited for those who:

  • Feel that something significant is trying to emerge from beneath the surface of their everyday life

  • Have a history of psychological, philosophical, or spiritual inquiry and want a more integrated understanding of their experience

  • Are noticing synchronicities, symbolic themes, or repeating life patterns and want to explore their meaning with depth, care, and discernment

  • Are interested in how personal experience participates in larger archetypal and cosmological processes

  • Prefer thoughtful conversation and inquiry over quick answers or prescriptive guidance

  • Value an approach that is grounded, research-based, non-dogmatic, and intellectually rigorous

 

People who benefit most from this work are not necessarily looking to change their lives immediately. More often, they are looking for orientation—an understanding of where they are in the larger arc of their life, what inside of them is asking for their attention, and how to move forward with greater awareness and integrity.

 

The assessment is designed for those who are willing to engage their own experience thoughtfully and who see meaning as something to be discovered through dialogue, reflection, and symbolic understanding, rather than imposed from outside.

Who it May Not Be Appropriate For

The Archetypal Assessment is not designed to meet every need or every moment in a person’s life, and there are circumstances in which a different kind of support may be more appropriate.

This assessment may not be the best fit for individuals who are primarily seeking prediction, certainty, or definitive answers about the future. The work is interpretive and exploratory rather than prescriptive, and it does not aim to forecast outcomes or provide fixed conclusions.

It may also not be well-suited for those who are looking for quick solutions, directive advice, or immediate behavioral change. The assessment invites reflection, dialogue, and symbolic understanding, and it unfolds at a pace that allows meaning to emerge rather than be imposed.

Those who prefer clearly defined methodologies, step-by-step programs, or goal-oriented coaching may find this approach less aligned with their expectations. The inquiry is not structured around performance, optimization, or measurable outcomes, but around coherence, insight, and orientation.

Additionally, this work is not intended as a substitute for clinical mental health care or crisis support. Individuals experiencing acute psychological distress may benefit more from working with a licensed mental health professional before engaging in this kind of exploratory inquiry.

If you are unsure whether this assessment is appropriate for you at this time, you are welcome to reach out with questions. Sometimes the most valuable outcome is simply recognizing what kind of support best serves your current situation.

What This Assessment Can Offer

For those moving through a meaningful life transition, the Archetypal Assessment offers clarity around your life's circumstances and orientation rather than instructions on what to do next. It creates space to understand what is unfolding within you, why certain themes feel intensified now, and how your life may be asking to be lived with greater coherence and intention on the path of soul evolution.

Often times, people come to this work feeling that something essential is shifting inside them, yet it is difficult to name and understand. The Assessment helps bring clarity to that experience by illuminating the symbolic and archetypal patterns shaping your life, the archetypal cycle you are currently moving through, and the deeper logic that connects past experiences with what is trying to emerge in your life next.

For those seeking a more grounded sense of purpose, the Assessment can also clarify what I refer to as cosmological vocation—the particular way your life participates in a larger pattern of cosmic meaning. Rather than offering answers from outside of your lived experience, this process supports a clearer recognition of how your inner life, your circumstances, and your sense of calling may already be aligned toward a meaningful direction and what that direction looks like for you.

The result is not resolution of tension or challenges in the conventional sense, but a deeper understanding of where you are in your soul's evolution, what matters most right now, and how to move forward with greater awareness, integrity, and trust in the unfolding process of your life (what Jung called individuation).

What Happens After the Assessment

For some individuals, the Archetypal Assessment provides the clarity and orientation they were seeking. The process itself can bring insight, coherence, and a renewed sense of relationship to one’s life without the need for further engagement.

For others, the assessment reveals the beginning of a deeper inquiry—one that benefits from time, continuity, and sustained attention. In these cases, it may become clear that a longer period of private work would allow the themes that emerged to be explored and integrated more fully.

When this feels appropriate, I may extend an invitation into ongoing private mentorship through The Cosmological Self™ program. This is a six-month, one-to-one process designed to support deeper psychological, symbolic, and cosmological integration over time. Participation in this work is offered selectively and is not something that can be requested or scheduled in advance.

The decision to continue is always mutual and grounded in discernment. Not every assessment leads to further work, and there is no expectation that it should. The Assessment is complete in itself, and any invitation that follows arises from what meaningfully emerges through the process.

In some cases, I may also suggest alternative forms of engagement, such as a period of reflection, a follow-up session at a later time, or participation in a small group or teaching context, when available. These recommendations are made with care and with attention to what best serves the individual’s current situation.

The guiding principle throughout is appropriateness—honoring timing, the client's readiness, and the integrity of the work rather than assuming a predetermined path forward.

Investment

The Archetypal Assessment™ is a private, in-depth inquiry that includes careful review of your written reflections, a long-form one-to-one session, and a period of post-session integration and synthesis.

 

The current investment for the Assessment is: $750

This rate reflects the time, attention, and depth involved in the process, while keeping the work accessible during its early phase of development. It is intended for those who feel genuinely drawn to this kind of inquiry and who value thoughtful engagement over quick solutions.

As the work continues to evolve and as availability becomes more limited, the investment may be adjusted in the future. For now, this rate supports a relational and exploratory offering that allows the assessment to be approached with care rather than urgency.

Payment details and scheduling information are provided after an application has been reviewed and accepted.

A limited number of assessments are offered each month to ensure the work remains spacious and attentive.

Begin the Inquiry

If you feel drawn to explore the deeper patterns and archetypal constellations that are shaping your life at this moment, you may request an Archetypal Assessment below, which will take you to a brief form.

Submitting a request does not commit you to the work. Each inquiry is reviewed with care to ensure that the assessment is appropriate and supportive for where you are right now. If it feels aligned, you will receive further details about next steps and scheduling.

This process is designed to unfold thoughtfully rather than quickly. Taking the time to consider whether this inquiry is right for you is part of the work itself.
