Life Coaching and Spiritual Life Coaching are not currently covered by insurance. 

Coaching is sometimes covered under employers’ professional development benefits and/or under FSA/HSA accounts (wellness).  

For Reiki, check with your FSA/HSA account benefits. Times and minds are always changing. Wellness services like Vibrational Sound Therapy and Reiki are being recognized more and more by the mainstream as supportive and effective tools for physical and mental health and wellness. 

​

If these services are not currently covered, you can call your insurance and FSA/HSA- carriers and advocate for them to be added to their (and your!) benefits packages. 

I am happy to provide receipts for services. If you work for yourself, coaching is often tax-deductible. 

 Yes! Coaching is tailored to your specific goals and needs. 

Coaching is a professional partnership in which we work together to clarify areas that you would like to improve and work toward achieving your desired outcomes in those areas.

Coaching and guided meditations can be therapeutic in nature; however, neither are considered therapy. Coaching is different from therapy in that we will address any obstacles that keep you from achieving your goals, but we will not engage in therapy. 

If it is appropriate or necessary, referrals to psychotherapy or other therapeutics made be made. There are many paths to healing and both coaching and psychotherapy have their places in working through blocks and issues.

Yes. Coaching is personal work and there needs to be a great mutual connection for maximum results. Consultations consist of a 20-30-minute virtual meeting to learn more about your goals, answer any questions you have, and learn if this would be a great coaching fit.

Yes, sessions may be extended and dependent upon availability.

Yes. Thank you so much! Please refer potential clients to my website and have them reach out there. 

I uphold a professional environment and practice. I do not entertain or tolerate inappropriate, abusive, or oppressive communication or behavior of any kind towards myself or anyone. 

If you struggle in this area, I encourage you to seek therapy and support to understand where this comes from and eradicate the negativity. I strongly believe that people can change and this can be worked through with therapy and courageous personal inquiry. Please see mental health resources for additional support. 

Hello there! First, I’m so honored that you have found me. I have worked with so many amazing clients over the last decade. I have many fond memories and know that you are likely included in that bunch. Since closing the doors to my psychotherapy practice in Seattle and Redmond in 2019 I’ve had former therapy clients reach out, asking if we can work together again. 

The answer, unfortunately, is no. In accordance with the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), this would be considered a dual relationship since I transitioned my practice to life coaching and energy work. Therapy is considered one relationship. coaching/energy work would be considered another relationship, making it a dual relationship. Therefore, according to the AAMFT, it would be considered unethical to work together again, by the association’s standards. I am legally bound by these ethical standards, and unfortunately cannot see you or any former psychotherapy clients. You are welcome to refer people to me, which is always a huge compliment, but that is really about it. 

All this said, I support you, think you're amazing and wonderful (all my clients really are!) and know that there are many incredible therapists, coaches, and energy practitioners who are excellent and can help and support you. 

If you want to send me a message just saying hi, of course I would love that. You're amazing, keep shining and surround yourself with the community, people, animals, habits, work, projects, and anything else that provides the nurturing, love, respect, and support that helps you thrive and shine.
