What's the difference between therapy with you and coaching through Reclaim & Rise?

Therapy is for clients in states where I'm clinically licensed: Louisiana, Virginia, Colorado, New Mexico, and Illinois. Reclaim & Rise coaching is for people outside those states, or who want a non-clinical relationship focused on rebuilding voice and self-trust.

Do you take insurance?

No, this is a private-pay practice, so insurance isn't billed directly for sessions. If that's a dealbreaker, I'm happy to point you toward in-network options.

My focus has shifted mostly to individual work, but I'm not closed to couples work. If you think we could be a fit, reach out and let's talk it through, I'm happy to go into more detail once you're here. Family sessions, usually an adult child and a parent, are still open too.

What is IFS, and how is it different from regular talk therapy?

Internal Family Systems treats the different parts of you, the protector, the part that shuts down, the part that still hopes, as worth listening to instead of fixing. It's less about analyzing your past and more about building a working relationship with all of you.

What other approaches do you use besides IFS?

AIT (Advanced Integrative Therapy) is where more of my individual work is headed, especially for shifting the core beliefs driving old patterns. EFT rounds that out for attachment work. I pick the approach based on what's actually in front of us, not a fixed protocol.

Is telehealth therapy actually effective?

Yes, for most of what I treat: attachment work, family systems, trauma-informed IFS, AIT, and EFT. Sessions are primarily telehealth, which is also how I can see you across five states instead of one.

Looking for coaching instead?

If you're outside the states where I'm licensed, or want something less clinical and more direct, I offer coaching separately through Reclaim & Rise. It's built for people ready to rebuild their voice and trust in themselves, not diagnose anything.
