Frequently Asked Questions

Do you take insurance?
This ultimately depends on if you live in Michigan or not and what type of assistance you are looking for. I am able to bill health insurance if our sessions shift beyond career planning to focus more on achieving better mental and emotional well-being and improving your quality of life.

Currently, I am able to accept Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, United Healthcare, Aetna, and Cigna. Blue Care Network will be added Fall 2023.

Can you see clients from another state?
As a Certified Career Counselor, I am able to work with clients that are not located in Michigan, however I cannot conduct any personal counseling sessions.

What do you charge?
For private pay clients, I have a rate of $120 per each 55 minute session, regardless of the session focus. If you cannot afford the full fee, Open Path Collective is a resource that connects private pay clients with counselors that offer a sliding scale. I offer a limited amount of openings for Open Path clients and update the profile if I am full.

How many sessions will I need? 
To be honest, that really depends on you and the work we are doing! I have some career clients that only need me for 2-3 sessions, but I also have clients that see me on weekly basis. These sessions are focused more on emotional and mental health and are tailored to your specific needs, challenges, and goals. During the intake session, I will be able to better assess your needs and we will collaborate together to discuss how often we need to meet.

What is your experience and background?
With a background in education, from K-12 to community college and university settings, as well as the service industry, I bring a diverse range of experiences to my practice. I am constantly expanding my knowledge of therapeutic interventions and theories, always seeking out new resources and training. Whether you’re in need of career guidance, mental and emotional well-being support through personal counseling, I am here to assist you. You can learn a little more about me here.
