There is often overlap, but each service has a slightly different focus and purpose.
Addiction Counseling focuses specifically on substance use, recovery, relapse prevention, and the patterns that contribute to addictive behaviors. As a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), I provide clinical support for individuals who are sober curious, navigating recovery, transitioning from treatment, or seeking a healthier relationship with substances and compulsive behaviors.
Therapy (Psychotherapy) focuses more broadly on mental health and emotional well-being. Therapy may address concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, and other psychological challenges. My psychotherapy services will begin in September 2026 as I continue my work as a Social Work License Candidate (SWLC) under clinical supervision.
Coaching is a collaborative, future-oriented process that supports personal growth, life transitions, relationships, identity exploration, and creating a life that feels more aligned with your values. Coaching is not mental health treatment or a substitute for therapy, but rather a space for reflection, accountability, and meaningful change.
If you're unsure which approach is right for you, we can talk through your goals together and determine what type of support would best meet your needs.

Not for coaching packages.
Coaching packages are designed to create a steady and supportive space for meaningful change to unfold over time. Full payment is not required upfront, and package clients are welcome to use payment plans or pay session-by-session as services are provided.
Regardless of package structure, payment for each scheduled coaching session is due at the time of service.
For therapy services, payment is due at the time of service. Insurance copays, deductibles, coinsurance, and any balances not covered by insurance are the responsibility of the client. If insurance denies coverage or does not reimburse for services for any reason, the client remains financially responsible for the full session fee.

Yes. I currently accept most major insurance plans for addiction counseling (LAC) services, with the exception of Medicaid and Medicare.
Psychotherapy services will begin in September 2026, at which time I plan to accept most major insurance plans for therapy. If you are interested in therapy, you are welcome to join my waitlist or begin working together now through addiction counseling if it aligns with your needs.
Private pay is also available for all services.
Life coaching services are not covered by insurance and are offered on a private-pay basis only.
If you're unsure which service is the best fit or whether your insurance will be accepted, I'm happy to help you explore your options.
