What’s the difference between therapy/counseling and coaching?

While both coaching and therapy support personal growth, they serve different purposes. Therapy often focuses on healing the past, addressing emotional challenges, and managing mental health concerns. Coaching, on the other hand, is future-focused and is about clarifying goals, building on strengths, and creating actionable steps to move forward. Coaching isn’t a substitute for therapy, but it’s a powerful complement for those who feel ready to grow, make changes, and reach new levels of success in life, work, or relationships.

Why am I qualified to help you?

Great question. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology. I was a LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) for 17 years before making the switch to coaching and consulting. I have worked with tens of thousands of individuals over that time in settings like treatment centers, jails, group practices and private practices. I have completed hundreds of hours in continuing education focused on helping individuals, relationships and businesses. I have numerous mountaintop and valley experiences under my belt that help me take a completely non-judgemental stance - not just in my professional life, but also personally. If you’d like to know more, let’s start that conversation!

can I use my insurance?

I DO NOT AND CANNOT accept insurance for coaching services because coaching is not medical treatment; it is a personal investment in your growth, goals, and future. By working outside the limits of insurance, you have the freedom to design sessions that truly fit your needs without restrictions on length, frequency, or approach. This also means your progress remains private and confidential, with no records shared with insurance companies. Choosing coaching without insurance ensures you receive flexible, personalized support that’s entirely focused on helping you move forward.

What is the cost for coaching services?

Ala-carte prices:

Individual Coaching: $150 per 60 minutes

Relationship Coaching: $300 per 90 minutes

Business Coaching: $200 per 60 minutes

Packages are also available and can be discussed during the FREE Consultation.

I’m interested, but is the consultation really free?

ABSOLUTELY 100%. As you can imagine, I put a premium on the fit and relationship between coach and client. The consultation ranges from 30 minutes to 60 minutes. During this time we will have a conversation about your goals for coaching, the frequency, and the duration of coaching services. If we decide we are a good fit, we can move on to purchasing and scheduling sessions.
