Coaching is non-clinical, which means:

• No diagnosis or mental health assessment

• No treatment planning

• No insurance billing

• Focus on growth, not treatment

If you're experiencing clinical mental health concerns (anxiety, depression, C-PTSD, etc.) that need treatment and you live in Oregon, my therapy practice is the appropriate place for that work.

My coaching is specifically for folks who are not looking for any or additional mental health treatment.

Instead, my coaching services are for people wanting collaborative support with:

• Navigating values in community

• Life transitions and big decisions

• Personal growth and identity exploration

• Community and connection

• Navigating burnout (when it's not clinical depression)

If you're struggling with symptoms that interfere with daily functioning, or if you're in crisis, you need therapy (or other clinical support), not coaching.

Yes, as long as your therapist is someone other than me, and as long as the coaching work does not interfere with your clinical work. I highly recommend speaking to your mental health provider(s) prior to reaching out.

Unfortunately, if you are or have ever been my therapy client, I am not able to see you as a coaching client due to ethical boundaries around dual relationships.

If you're working with another therapist and want coaching for non-clinical personal growth, that's completely fine. Many people do both.

Coaching is available virtually to anyone, anywhere. I do ask coaching clients have access to a quiet and private place with good internet connection in order for us to do our best work.

No. Coaching is never covered by insurance because it's not medical or mental health treatment. All coaching services are paid out-of-pocket.

Therapy groups (on my therapy site) are clinical treatment for people with mental health concerns.

They're process groups focused on attachment patterns, relational wounds, and working through clinical issues. Only available to people in Oregon.

Coaching cohorts and circles (through Felt Not Fixed) are community spaces for personal growth, values work, and mutual support — not treatment. They're facilitated but peer-based, and available to anyone regardless of location.

If you have clinical mental health needs, therapy groups are appropriate. If you want community and growth work without clinical treatment, coaching cohorts might be right for you.

Choose therapy if:

• You want treatment for diagnosed mental health conditions

• You're experiencing symptoms that interfere with daily life or put yourself/others at risk

• You need clinical support for C-PTSD, anxiety, depression, etc.

• You live in Oregon and want to use out-of-network insurance benefits

Choose coaching if:

• You're functioning well but want support with growth and alignment

• You want values work, community, or personal development

• You don't need clinical treatment
