Options: 

Psychotherapy Sessions:

Therapy sessions are in-person.  Most are 60 minutes long (prorated 90 minute & 30 minute sessions are also available), and all are billable by insurance. Though I hold the medical model very lightly, psychotherapy is meant to be a long term treatment, focused on deep healing. We unpack the core beliefs and wounding in your system, and we work to unravel the tension, pain, relationship patterns, & destructive behaviors these beliefs are connected with.

Most people begin psychotherapy with weekly or twice-monthly sessions, in order to fully address the limiting beliefs and emotional blocks in your system. Email me to further inquire.

60 Minute initial consultation: $225

60 Minute session:  $175

60 Minute couple or family session: $225

Coaching /Consultation Sessions:

Coaching is different from psychotherapy in that it tends to be tool-based (therapy is usually a long term relationship built on the medical model—i.e. diagnosis and treatment). Coaching is not a health care service—it takes an action-based and client-centered approach, with specific goals in mind. Coaches/consultants do not diagnose, nor de we spend time analyzing thoughts and behaviors; rather, we ask how we can work to remove the mental & emotional blocks to your desires & goals, and you focus on the integration of the tools on your own.

Though I have a degree in clinical psychology, it is important to understand the differences between coaching & psychotherapy. We will assess together which relationship is best at the outset of our work. Should we decide to change the nature of our relationship, that will be made explicit between us, along with different expectations, paperwork, etc. If you are a phone person, we will automatically be doing coaching/consultation work, as long term psychotherapy is not appropriate for this context. Thus, if you feel you are in need of weekly therapy, or are currently in crisis/ feeling mentally unstable, phone consultation sessions are not advised. Email me to further inquire.

The majority of the coaching tools I utilize are from Kiran Trace. You can check out her work here: kirantrace.com

60 Minute in-person initial consultation: $225

60 Minute in-person session:  $175

60 Minute initial phone session (including Skype or FaceTime): $215

60 Minute regular phone session:  $170

Group Work:

Group coaching sessions are both in-person & online, & combine various educational elements, but are not group therapy (and therefore not billable by insurance). Some group sessions are 'open' (people new to working with me can join) and some are 'closed' (reserved for people I already work with). The groups create a healing community that outlasts the work with me; working openly with one another, you get the benefit of others' journeys, and form deep connections by virtue of the intimacy this format creates.         

Current and upcoming group sessions:

Next Group Session (OPEN): Summer 2019 (TBD)

‘Awake Body, Open Mind’

Email below to reserve your spot. 6 spots available. $290 for the 4 sessions.

This workshop (playshop!) teaches you the practical tools of mental inquiry, embodiment & accessing spacious presence. You will learn how to use everyday life circumstances to track the painful conditioning in your system, more fully ground yourself in your body, and rest in (and as) presence.

By accessing the internal space of our body we find where beliefs and painful experiences are stored, and we can begin to heal them. We also tap into our truest desires & boundaries---these come from our embodied spirit, not from the mind. Through embodiment and 'waking up' from our painful conditioning, our lives begin to unfold in vastly more natural & fulfilling ways. 

Many of the tools and techniques you will learn come from Judith Blackstone, PhD (realizationcenter.com), Kiran Trace (kirantrace.com) & Byron Katie (thework.com). We will learn the tools and practice them in the group.

Be willing to be vulnerable and free fall together!

My Office:

561 W. Diversey Parkway, Suite 210, Chicago, IL, 60614

Getting Here:

By Car:  The office is a short drive from both the Fullerton and Belmont exits off Lakeshore. There is ample metered parking on Diversey, as well as hourly parking in the AT&T building across the street. You can usually find unmetered spots in in the neighborhood as well, especially if you go further north or east.
