Insurances accepted: various PPO out-of-network insurance plans

At Illuminated Life Therapy, I am an out-of-network provider, meaning clients will pay for services directly at the private pay rate, and you may be eligible for reimbursement depending on your insurance plan. All payments will be made at the time of service through a secure online client payment portal. PPO insurance plans can offer out-of-network benefits that may provide reimbursement for your sessions. I'm happy to provide you with a Superbill upon request, which includes all of the necessary information for submission to your insurance company.

I work with those experiencing:

  • Relationship conflicts encompass difficulties, disagreements, or challenges within interpersonal connections. My approach focuses empowering individuals and couples to engage in clear communication, boundary setting, advocacy and respect of needs, and observation of relationship patterns. Whether with family, romantic partners & dating, friends, or colleagues, our work together may look like:

    • improving awareness and confidence in communication of needs, emotions, and boundaries

    • developing emotional independence

    • learning conflict resolution skills that build positive connections & more fulfilling relationships

    • navigating challenging emotions and beliefs about self impacted by relationships

    • understanding relationship patterns and attachment

  • Anxiety is characterized by excessive worry, fear, and nervousness. It can impact various aspects of life, leading to physiological symptoms and difficulty managing everyday tasks and relationships. Anxiety loves to throw in those “what-if” and “worst-case scenario” type thoughts that can really cause discomfort. Together we can navigate your anxiety, and work to create an increased sense of ease.

  • Depression affects a person's thoughts, feelings, and overall well-being. It often involves persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest in previously enjoyable activities and connections. Depression can be draining, however it does not have to be what defines you and your life. My hope is that we can work to foster a sense of purpose and hope in your life. You’re doing something significant just by looking into ways to best support yourself!

  • Trauma refers to deeply distressing or disturbing experiences that can have lasting effects on our overall well-being. Trauma responses can be highly uncomfortable and disruptive to our daily life and relationships. Our work together will always prioritize you feeling emotionally and physically safe, while aiming to support you in processing emotions, regaining a sense of control, and cultivating resilience.

    Racial trauma is the psychological and emotional distress resulting from experiences of racism and discrimination. Support for racial trauma seeks to validate and address what you feel, while creating space for you to feel safe, accepted, and empowered in our sessions.

  • Grief and Loss can show up in so many different forms. In our therapeutic work, it is my intention to honor your unique experience of grief, sit with you, and ensure that there is space for your emotions. While grieving is a natural human experience, I recognize it is heavy, and may impact numerous of aspects of your life. Together we will ride the waves of your grief, and support you in continuing to move through life.

  • Life transitions involve significant changes in various aspects of life, such as school & career changes, relocation, marriage or relationship changes. And let’s be real- change is hard! Let’s work together to support you in adapting to change, managing stressors, navigating relationships and independence, and working through the emotional and practical aspects of your transition periods.

    Identity development involves the process of developing, discovering, and understanding one's sense of self, including aspects such as culture, gender, sexuality, religion, and personal values. Identity exploration provides a supportive space for self-discovery, self-acceptance and self-confidence. I look forward to supporting you in developing the most authentic and confident version of yourself!
