As of January 31, 2027, I will no longer offer professional counseling under my PA license to Pennsylvania residents with private insurance. Instead, I will be transitioning my practice to focus exclusively on personalized life coaching and MARI experiences, which will be available via cash payment.
Throughout my 30 years of experience as a therapist, I have found that many individuals seeking support are navigating normal, temporary life challenges—such as career transitions and relationship dynamics—rather than chronic mental health conditions. Unfortunately, the insurance-driven medical system often requires clinical diagnoses (such as adjustment disorders) to bill for services, pathologizing normal human experiences.
Personalized life coaching offers a healthy, unbiased alternative outside of the medical model. While it is not covered by insurance, it provides tailored guidance and support for everyday life stressors without the need for a formal mental health label.
Please note that I fully recognize that severe and chronic mental health conditions require intensive, ongoing clinical treatment. Given my extensive background, which includes inpatient care, I am fully equipped to evaluate your situation. If we work together and I determine that you require a higher level of care or specialized treatment, I will readily assist and guide you toward the appropriate resources.
If you are interested in transitioning to personalized life coaching or discussing your ongoing needs, please contact me for a free evaluation.
