work with the honey badger
Peer Support & Whole-Life Care
Certified Peer Specialist of Mental Health (CPS-MH, CPRS, PBT). Direct pay. Sliding scale. The person who shows up when other people stop returning calls.
the fastest way to reach me
Forms are fine, but a text is faster — and it reaches me even when I'm out on the Red Bullet route. Tell me your first name and what's going on, and I'll answer you myself.
If you'd rather write it all out, the request form is a little further down this page — either way reaches me.
how i price
- Peer support sessions start at $20 / hour. Phone, video, or in person on the Red Bullet route. Rates rise for specialty work (crisis-adjacent, group facilitation, legal accompaniment).
- Everything else is contract-based. Hoarding recovery, PCA, caregiving, cleaning, yard work, cooking, transportation, advocacy, website help — priced by the job so it's fair to both of us. We agree on scope before any money moves.
- Direct pay, with dignity. Most of the people I work with are moving from survival to stability. If you can't pay today, we start where you are — SSDI application, food stamps, reinstating benefits, finding you state-funded or free treatment. Nobody gets turned away for being broke. Nobody gets kept for being broke, either — we work the plan together.
- Heart of Care Full Spectrum Community Treatment Services is the umbrella. If I'm not the right fit, I'll help you find who is.
