Frequently Asked Questions

  • You are not alone in making this important decision. I offer complimentary 15 minute consultations to help determine which path best supports your goals.

    Counseling offers ongoing support for emotional healing and personal growth. I work with individuals navigating life transitions, helping process the past and find meaning in the present. Sessions build emotional awareness, regulation, and insight to create forward movement. Counseling is guided by professional ethics and clinical expertise and is typically weekly or biweekly.

    Coaching is for those ready to create clarity, purpose, and aligned change. It follows a structured framework while meeting you where you are, helping you navigate transitions, clarify direction, and live in alignment with your authentic self. Coaching includes support between sessions to maintain accountability and lasting growth.

  • If you’re struggling with emotional pain, stress, or mental health challenges that disrupt daily life, counseling is likely the best fit.

    If you’re feeling unfulfilled, seeking clarity about purpose, or ready to create meaningful change, coaching may be ideal.

    And if you’re unsure, we’ll clarify your goals together in a complimentary consultation to ensure you begin in the right place.

  • My work is intentionally personal and integrative. I bring over two decades of experience in psychology, neuroscience, trauma informed care, and emotional intelligence, along with deep expertise in mentoring growth. My background also includes extensive experience in mindfulness, energy work, and spiritual development.

    This creates a grounded yet elevated space where growth feels practical, soulful, and sustainable.Clients describe the experience as both nurturing and empowering. I’m warm, present, and engaged, offering perspective, gentle challenge when it supports your growth, and humor because laughter is good for the soul.

  • I work exclusively virtually to make sessions accessible, private, calm, and convenient. 

    I am licensed to provide mental health counseling to Illinois residents only, through a secure, HIPAA compliant platform. 

    Coaching is available to clients across the U.S. and internationally, meeting via private Zoom.

  • Insurance can sometimes limit session frequency and requires diagnoses that become part of your medical record. Paying privately allows our work to remain focused on your goals, not insurance criteria. 

    I offer mental health counseling for Illinois residents only and do not take insurance.

    While I am not paneled with insurance, your plan may still reimburse a portion of your out of network mental health counseling costs. Clients find the investment worthwhile for the privacy, flexibility, and personalized experience it allows.  

    Insurance does not cover coaching, as it is not considered a medical or clinical service within the health-care system. Coaching is viewed as personal and professional development rather than treatment.

    How do I know if my insurance will reimburse me for counseling in Illinois?

    Contact your insurance provider and ask:

    • “Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?”

    • “What percentage of session fees are reimbursed?”

    • “Do I need to meet a deductible first?”

    • “What is the process for submitting a superbill?”

    Once confirmed, I’ll provide you with the necessary documentation after each session so you can file directly with your insurance company and receive reimbursement.

    Your investment in your growth? Your future self will thank you.

  • Clients can transition from counseling to coaching when ready to shift from emotional healing into forward-focused growth.

    However, you cannot move from coaching into counseling. To uphold professional and ethical counseling boundaries, clients who begin in coaching remain within that container for the duration of their work.

  • Counseling:
    I meet you exactly where you are. Together, we explore what’s most present, increasing self-awareness, processing emotions, gaining insight, and developing tools for daily life and emotional wellness.

    Coaching:
    My coaching program follows a structured framework that provides clear direction and accountability, yet remains flexible and responsive. I custom curate the experience to your needs, allowing us to pivot when something meaningful or time sensitive arises. Each session blends clarity, purpose, and aligned action so you continue moving forward with confidence and authenticity.
