If you are ready to reclaim your balance, your clarity, and your life, you are in the right place.

  • How is wellness coaching different from therapy?

    Wellness coaching and therapy are often confused, but they serve different purposes. As a licensed professional, I offer coaching that is action-oriented — focused on helping you set goals, build sustainable habits, and stay accountable toward better health, emotional balance, and fulfillment. Therapy, by contrast, typically involves diagnosing and treating mental health conditions or processing past trauma. If you're looking for structured support around stress, motivation, or lifestyle change, coaching is a powerful and practical place to start.

  • Do you accept insurance?

    Coaching is not covered by insurance, as it is not considered a clinical mental health service. Payment is made directly and securely through our website at the time of booking. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and Apple Pay. If you have any questions about payment, feel free to reach out before getting started.

  • Who can benefit from wellness coaching?

    Anyone who wants to feel more balanced, confident, or in control of their health can benefit. Our clients include professionals managing stress, parents balancing self-care with family life, and individuals seeking clarity in their goals or emotional wellness. You don’t need to be in crisis to start, you just need to want change.

  • How do I know if coaching is right for me?

    Coaching is a good fit if you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready to make a change but are not sure where to start. If you are looking for support around stress, burnout, self-doubt, or simply wanting to create more balance and clarity in your life, coaching can help. You do not need to have everything figured out. You just need to be open and willing to do the work. If you are unsure whether coaching is the right fit, reach out and we can talk through it together before you commit to anything.

  • What happens during a coaching session?

    Every session is personalized to where you are and where you want to go. We start with a check-in to talk through how you've been feeling, celebrating your wins and working through any challenges. From there, we zero in on a specific focus area, whether that's stress, motivation, habits, emotional balance, or lifestyle change. Using evidence-based techniques and mindfulness strategies, we work together to build clear, realistic action steps tailored to your emotional, mental, and physical well-being. We also revisit any previous commitments to keep you accountable and moving forward. By the end, you leave with clarity, a plan, and the confidence to take your next steps, all from the comfort of your own space, on your terms.

  • How long does a coaching program last?

    We offer flexible program options to meet you where you are. Whether you're looking for a focused introduction or a deeper commitment to change, there is a path for you. Our programs include a 2-hour session for those looking to get started, an 8-session group program for those who thrive in a supportive community setting, and a 12-session individual program for a comprehensive, personalized, and transformative experience. No matter which option you choose, every session is tailored to your goals, your pace, and your life.

  • Do you offer virtual or online coaching?

    Yes! All coaching sessions at Therapy on My Terms are held virtually via Zoom, making it easy and convenient to access support from wherever you are. Whether you are at home, at the office, or on the go, you can show up for yourself without the added stress of commuting or rescheduling. Our virtual sessions are designed to feel just as personal, connected, and transformative as meeting in person — because real change does not require a waiting room. All you need is a quiet space and an internet connection.

  • What topics can we focus on during coaching?

    Our coaching digs into the real things that keep you stuck — stress, burnout, self-doubt, emotional exhaustion, and the pressure of juggling it all. We work through setting boundaries, rebuilding confidence, rediscovering your sense of purpose, and creating habits and routines that actually fit your life. We blend mindfulness, evidence-based strategies, and honest conversation to help you find clarity, restore balance, and step fully into the whole person you are meant to be. This is where change happens.

  • Is everything I share confidential?

    Yes, your privacy is a priority. Everything shared during your coaching sessions is kept strictly confidential. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I am committed to creating a safe, judgment-free space where you can show up fully and honestly. Our sessions are held virtually via Zoom, and while coaching is not bound by the same legal confidentiality requirements as therapy, your personal information and what you share will always be handled with the utmost discretion and respect. However, if there is ever a risk of harm to yourself or others, appropriate steps will be taken. If you have any questions about privacy before getting started, please do not hesitate to reach out.

  • What if I am in a crisis or need immediate help?

    Coaching is not a crisis service. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, call 911, or go to your nearest emergency room. For ongoing mental health treatment, I encourage you to seek support from a licensed therapist or mental health provider.
