Frequently Asked Questions

The best way to decide is to set up a free 15 minute consult and we can discuss what is happening and whether I may be able to help.

We will figure this out together. We can decide on a certain number of sessions to meet your goals or we can work on an ongoing or as needed basis.

I keep 5 spaces open for clients with insurance:

I’m licensed in the states of Idaho and Wyoming and I am an in-network provider with Medicare, Blue Cross and Regence Blue Shield of Idaho.

Counseling and coaching packages are all out of pocket.

I’m a generalist, but have specialized training and certification in the following areas:

• Trauma - I’m certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is a very effective and frequently swift treatment for trauma.
• Skills building - I’m intensively trained in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) which teaches mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance and emotion regulation skills.
• Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy.
• Emotional Intelligence coaching.

There are certainly overlaps between the two, but in general, coaching is about moving forward through a problem with a specific goal in mind. Whereas counseling may often delve deeply into the past and healing is frequently the goal.
