Our Services
At WillowSage Counseling, I want therapy to feel as easy and comfortable as possible. That’s why I currently offer telehealth sessions only, so you can connect from the comfort of your own home. If staying cozied up on your couch while working through the hard stuff sounds right for you, I invite you to reach out to get started.
I offer individual psychotherapy for adults in Michigan and California. These one-on-one sessions are designed to help you explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a safe and supportive space. Most people begin with weekly sessions and may move to biweekly over time, as needed. Each session is 45 minutes and tailored to your unique needs.
All sessions are provided through a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform to protect your privacy and confidentiality every step of the way.
Where Psychology Meets Spirituality
I understand that everyone’s healing journey is personal and unique. That’s why, in my work, I use traditional therapy approaches such as, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, solution-focused, psychodynamic, and person-centered therapy to support emotional healing and growth. When it feels right for you and aligns with your beliefs, I also offer optional holistic and spiritual practices, such as energy psychology, Reiki, EFT, ritual, and reflectiv or intuitive tools like oracle or tarot cards as complementary supports. These practices are used thoughtfully, when they align with your beliefs and with your consent, to help deepen insight, connection, and healing alongside traditional therapy. Holistic and spiritual approaches are always used as supportive tools and are never provided on their own or in place of therapy.
My approach is about meeting you where you are and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space that allows for exploration, healing, and growth. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, work to understand your patterns, build practical coping skills, and make changes that support better emotional balance and day-to-day functioning.
Creating Space for Supportive, Affordable Healing
At WillowSage Counseling, I believe therapy should be accessible, transparent, and tailored to your needs. Below you’ll find information about session costs, insurance options, and reduced-fee programs to help you make the best decision for your care. If you have any questions, I’m happy to help you explore your options.
Insurance
I am in-network with most Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) of Michigan plans. I’m also in the process of joining additional insurance networks, so coverage options may expand soon.
Because insurance participation can vary, I encourage you to reach out or check back to see if I’m now in-network with your specific plan. You can also contact your insurance provider directly to verify your mental health coverage and network status.
If you have a different insurance provider and I’m not in-network, you’ll be considered out-of-network. In that case, I can provide a Superbill, which is a detailed receipt you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
Because each plan is different, I encourage you to contact your insurance company and ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits. Below, you’ll find a downloadable PDF with helpful questions to guide your conversation with your insurance company.
Please note that if you choose to use out-of-network benefits, you will be responsible for paying the full session fee at the time of service. If you are eligible, your insurance company may reimburse you directly once they have processed your claim.
If you have any questions about out-of-network billing or how to request reimbursement, I’m happy to help you understand the process.
You can download the Understanding Your Out-of-Network-Benefits handout here to help you feel more informed and empowered when talking with your insurance provider about your out-of-network mental health coverage.
Private Pay
If you choose to pay privately, there is no insurance involvement, and payment is handled directly for a smooth, hassle-free process.
The initial intake session (your first appointment) is $200.
Each ongoing therapy session is $180
Reduced Fee Options
At WillowSage Counseling, I believe financial barriers shouldn’t prevent anyone from receiving quality care. For that reason, I offer a limited number of reduced-fee and Open Path Collective spots to help make therapy more accessible.
A few options are available depending on your needs and eligibility:
Internal Reduced Fee Program – Sessions are available for $140 per session for a limited number of clients who qualify based on income or financial hardship.
Sliding Scale through Open Path Collective – Sessions range from $40–$70 per session. The initial intake session (your first appointment) for new clients through Open Path is $70. Membership with Open Path is required to participate, and you can learn more or apply at openpathcollective.org.
Eligibility for reduced-fee programs is based on household income and current financial circumstances. Documentation or verification will be requested during the application process to ensure these spots are available to those who need them most.
Reduced-fee and Open Path spots are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis, depending on current availability.
Just A Few More Things
The total cost of therapy depends on whether you use insurance or pay privately. Before scheduling your first session, please check with your insurance company to confirm:
Whether I’m considered in-network or out-of-network
Your deductible, copay, or coinsurance amounts
Having this information ahead of time helps avoid billing surprises and ensures a smooth start to your care.
In accordance with the No Surprises Act, all private-pay clients are provided with a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) before starting therapy. This document outlines the expected cost of services and supports transparency in your care.
You can learn more about your rights and the Good Faith Estimate process here.
Therapy is an investment in your healing and personal growth, and it’s important that it feels both accessible and clear. My goal is to make the financial side of care as transparent as possible, so you can focus on what truly matters—your healing, growth, and sense of balance.
If you have any questions about fees, reduced-fee options or eligibility, insurance, or which option may be best for you, I’m happy to help.

Research shows that having a strong, trusting relationship with your therapist is one of the biggest keys to successful therapy.
