Billing & Insurance

I do not accept insurance and do not provide medical or psychotherapy diagnoses when working as a coach. However, some insurance plans may cover services under CPT Code 591T — Health and Wellbeing Coaching.

To find out if you’re eligible, I recommend calling your insurance provider in advance and asking:

• Do I have coverage for health and wellness coaching services?

• What is my deductible, and has it been met?

• How many sessions are covered per year?

• What is the reimbursement rate per session?

You may also be able to use a Flex Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) for these services — be sure to check with your provider for details.

What will our first session be like?

In our first session, we’ll start by briefly reviewing the intake forms you’ve completed. Most of our time will focus on getting to know each other and beginning to build the foundation for our work together. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to better understand your story, your needs, and what’s bringing you here. This initial conversation may naturally carry into a second session. You’re welcome to bring a list of concerns, goals, or topics you’d like to explore — and please feel free to ask me any questions along the way.

What is the difference between your approach and traditional therapy?

While there are many similarities and overlaps, the most notable difference is that I do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Instead of focusing on a diagnosis or symptom management, my approach is centered on helping you heal, grow, and reclaim your peace by addressing the root causes of what you’re experiencing. While my work shares some commonalities with therapy, it’s more about holistic support, growth and transformation, rather than clinical treatment.

What’s the difference between coaching and therapy — and what’s it like to work with a coach who’s also a therapist?

Coaching and therapy share some similarities, but they have distinct purposes.

Traditional therapy is designed to help you process past wounds, navigate mental health concerns, and heal emotional pain. It often involves exploring deep patterns, providing a diagnosis, and working through underlying psychological issues.

Coaching is typically more focused on the here and now — identifying goals, moving through blocks, and creating actionable change. It’s forward-facing, goal-oriented, and doesn’t provide diagnoses or formal mental health treatment.

But here’s where working with a coach who’s also a licensed therapist (like me) is different.

When you work with me as a coach, you’re not just getting surface-level strategies or generic advice. You’re getting the depth, sensitivity, and trauma-informed foundation of a trained clinician — someone who understands how past experiences shape your nervous system, your patterns, and your sense of self. Even in a coaching relationship, I hold space with care, attunement, and an understanding of your full humanity.

While we won’t be doing formal therapy or medical treatment in coaching, we will honor your story, your history, and the complexities that make you who you are. This means you get a coaching experience that’s not cookie-cutter or overly simplistic — but one that’s rooted in depth, nuance, and meaningful transformation.

If you’re looking for a coaching approach that integrates nervous system awareness, somatic practices, and relational insight — while focusing on your goals, agency, and future growth — you’re in the right place.

Do you work with adult families?

Adult family work is one of our favorite forms of counseling. This may look like you and your parent or sibling or adult child from our first session to the last. It may also look like inviting a family member to join after individual work -with a specific intention for repair or deepen understanding. It’s all individualized, so let’s talk about it and decide together what may work best!

What is Conscious Uncoupling Counseling?

"Conscious uncoupling counseling" refers to a type of therapy that helps couples navigate a separation or divorce in a respectful, mindful, and compassionate way - focusing on understanding and acknowledging each other's feelings while minimizing resentment and negativity, with the goal of moving forward positively. Essentially, it's a process of ending a relationship with self-awareness and personal growth rather than bitterness and blame. The term was coined by Katherine Woodward, author and therapist.
