What to expect: Sessions are about 75 minutes depending on the focus and modalities used. The initial session is focused on getting a sense of who you are and what you want to work on. I introduce tools and resources that we may use in each session that help you access your own inner resources. Many people incorporate these into their daily practice to help relax and release stress.
Coaching differs from psychotherapy in that it is more focused on present day challenges, shifting perceptions and identifying practical steps for change. As a LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), I am able to use therapeutic tools such as EMDR in coaching but the focus is not on deeper therapeutic work. If that need arises, we will discuss other resources and referrals.
Fees: My fee is $85 per session. In cases in which financial situations make it difficult to pay the full fee, I can work with you. Payment is expected at the time of sessions unless otherwise arranged.
Setting: Sessions are in person in my private office. Once we establish, if a remote session is needed, we can arrange that. My preference is to meet in person because of the nature of how I work.
Insurance: Practicing as a coach, I am not able to accept insurance.
