My practice is 100% virtual, which enables me to work with clients that are anywhere in the state of Michigan. We can each stay in our comfortable, private environments for sessions.

Once you complete the initial paperwork, I will send you a link for a secure app/website called Spruce. This provides us to use a HIPAA secure video for sessions (as well as secure texting). At the time of our session, you will just need to be in a private space with good Wi-Fi, and I will video call you through the Spruce app. At the end of the session, you’ll receive a “Payment Request” in the app, which will allow you to pay with a credit card.

I was surprised to discover that I can absolutely feel connected to my clients (compassionately and even energetically) while working virtually, so all sessions are virtual. It is a bonus that we can each also have our favorite blanket or our pet with us, and we don’t have to worry about a commute!

These are part of what sets me apart from other therapists—this is not stuff we were taught in school, but has absolutely helped me in my own healing journey. Especially if you are already good at helping others and/or have already done other types of therapy, let’s sprinkle in some things that you’ve not tried before!

I can teach you how what you are feeling creates energy that attracts similar feeling experiences to you (often known as the Law of Attraction or manifesting), so that you can break patterns that feel like “the same crap keeps happening to me over and over again” and start attracting experiences that bring you peace and even joy!

I can also provide you options to discover or enhance a spiritual (not religious) connection, so that you can experience for yourself that you are being loved, supported, and guided by A Greater Loving Force. I promise I will not be pushing a doctrine or belief system on you, but rather giving you access to help “Spiritually Reparent” the parts of you that have been waiting since childhood to be seen, loved and supported. You might choose to explore things like tarot/angel cards, tapping into your Intuition, communicating with your Spirit Guides, mediumship, or how to pay attention to the guidance of synchronicities that seem to happen around you!

Your investment in yourself is $130 per 60 minute session, and can be paid via credit card or HSA card at the end of each session.
You can also consider seeing if you have insurance benefits that cover out-of-network providers, which may entitle you to partial reimbursement of your fee.

Because I value the freedom for my clients and I to make choices regarding their treatment (and should not be dictated by insurance companies), I am a private pay clinician and do not accept insurances.  Why did I choose this?

By choosing to not work with insurance companies, it allows me to:

~ maintain your privacy and confidentiality. Insurance companies frequently audit files and deny claims and services as they deem fit. By not using insurance, you get full control over who gets access to your records.

~ not be required to diagnose. In order to have insurance reimburse for services, there needs to be a qualifying medical diagnosis. Many clients seek out therapy for self-growth and normal life stressors, which do not meet requirements for a mental health diagnosis. Some people also choose not to have a diagnosis on file, because they do not want it impacting things like life insurance or job opportunities. This is your right and something you get to decide by not using insurance. 

~ work with you on deciding how often and when to meet. Insurance companies like to decide how long sessions are, how frequently they are, and even how long treatment should be. This does not work in real life and is not tailored to your specific needs. You and I can decide on length and frequency of sessions. 

We will meet via video inside the Spruce app. Our first session will focus on getting to know each other. I like to think of our conversation as “laying out the pieces of a puzzle together, and starting to see how things fit together”. We’ll get an idea of areas you would like to grow, and the steps I am envisioning to get there. As a bonus, you’ll probably hear my dog snoring, since she is always with me when I work!

This will be up to you. Some people have one specific issue that they are ready to tackle, and others recognize lifelong patterns that need to be time to be repaired and healed. It also depends on how consistently you implement things we discover in session, so the more you work at things, the quicker you reach a stopping point! But for those that are looking for a ballpark, I would say it varies from 6 months to over a year.
