What is Therapy and how does is differ from Coaching?

Therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on addressing mental health issues and emotional difficulties, is typically conducted by licensed mental health professionals, and involves processing past experiences and emotions to promote healing and growth. Life coaching is a more goal-oriented approach that focuses on setting and achieving goals in various areas of life, such as career, relationships, and personal development. As a licensed professional therapist I have the education and the background to provide evidence based therapeutic interventions; my lived experience in addition to my education also assists me in coaching my clients. 

Do you accept LGBTQ, Atheist, Religious, Black, Polyamorous, Neurodivergent clients?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes! I am a sex positive, LGBTQ affirming, Autism/ADHD affirming, and racially aware therapist who supports you and your dreams, visions, and goals no matter how and what group you identify with. I also understand how important our groups and religious beliefs are and have clients from all different backgrounds and belief systems.

What are your fees? Do you take insurance?

I charge $165 for an individual session and $175 for a couples' session. I do not take insurance for couples' sessions. Currently, I accept Optum, United HealthCare, Aetna, RegenceBlueCrossBlueShield, and HSA. If I do not accept your insurance, I can make a Superbill so you can bill your health insurance directly for reimbursement.
