Frequently Asked Questions

Should I sign up for therapy or coaching?

If you currently reside in Michigan, we can do therapy together. I offer both in-person and online sessions for individuals in Michigan, provided through Second Story Counseling.

If you live outside of Michigan, I am not able to serve as your licensed therapist due to state licensure laws. However, I would still be honored to walk alongside you as a spiritual and emotional wellness coach. Coaching allows us to engage many of the same healing and growth-focused conversations from a Christ-centered perspective.

Whether through therapy or coaching, my heart is to create a safe and sacred space for you to explore your story, process your pain, and pursue wholeness. If you're unsure which path is right for you, I’d be glad to talk it through together.

I’m Struggling with Something Specific — Can You Help?

You're not alone in wondering that. If you're carrying something unique or deeply personal, I invite you to reach out — whether by email or by scheduling a free 15-30 minute initial consultation.

Together, we’ll talk through whether this space is the right fit for your journey. If I’m not the right person to walk with you, I’ll do my best to refer you the right place.

How long do sessions last?

Each session typically lasts about 50-55 minutes

Will our conversations be private?

Yes — absolutely. What you share in our sessions is held with deep respect and confidentiality.

Like all professional helping relationships, there are a few rare exceptions where I am ethically and legally required to break confidentiality:

• If you disclose abuse or neglect of a child or vulnerable adult

• If you are at risk of seriously harming yourself or someone else

In those cases, I will take the necessary steps to ensure everyone’s safety.
Otherwise, everything you share stays between us — always.

How Often Can We Meet?

There's no one-size-fits-all answer — and that's okay.

Many clients find comfort and stability in meeting once a week, especially when they’re walking through something heavy or doing deeper heart work. Others feel supported with biweekly or monthly sessions, depending on their season of life, emotional needs, or schedule.

We’ll decide together what pace feels right for you. Whether it’s once a week or once a month, this space will be here for you with grace, care, and no pressure.

Can you bill my insurance?

Yes, if you live in Michigan. I work with most major health insurance companies. Please inquire regarding your exact coverage.

No, if you live outside of Michigan. In this case, sessions are $60 each.

How can I schedule an initial consultation?

I’d love to connect with you. Simply fill out the contact form and I’ll be in touch soon to set up a time that works for you. I look forward to hearing your story and exploring what it might look like to walk together.
