About This Approach

I specialize in helping women navigate:

• OCD and intrusive thoughts

• Anxiety, overthinking, and chronic worry

• Rumination and difficulty tolerating uncertainty

• Life transitions, burnout, and midlife reinvention

• People-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-trust challenges

• Relationship patterns that leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or emotionally exhausted

My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches for OCD and anxiety, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

For women navigating burnout, identity shifts, and major life transitions, I also use the Fire Reclamation Method™—a framework designed to help you reconnect with your voice, values, and sense of self during periods of change.

Many clients find that these areas overlap in meaningful ways.

For example, OCD and anxiety can show up in relationships through reassurance-seeking, overthinking, difficulty trusting yourself, people-pleasing, or emotional withdrawal. Likewise, periods of burnout and transition can amplify anxiety, self-doubt, and long-standing patterns that no longer serve you.

Rather than treating these concerns in isolation, we work together to understand the patterns keeping you stuck and create a clear path toward meaningful change.

The Clarity and Strategy Session is a 75-minute intake designed to understand what’s keeping you stuck and identify the most effective path forward.

During this session, we will:

• explore your current challenges and relevant history
• identify the patterns maintaining anxiety, OCD, or emotional distress
• clarify whether a therapy intensive, weekly therapy, or Fire Reclamation work is the best fit
• map a focused, structured plan for next steps

This session ensures that our work together is intentional, targeted, and aligned with your goals from the start.

Most clients begin with a 12-session treatment plan.

This provides enough time to identify the patterns keeping you stuck, build new skills and responses, and create meaningful momentum toward your goals.

While many clients find that 12 sessions gives them the structure and support they need, therapy is not one-size-fits-all.

Some clients reach their goals more quickly, while others benefit from additional sessions to continue building on their progress.

During your Clarity and Strategy Session, we'll discuss your goals, current challenges, and what approach is likely to be the best fit for your needs.

Our goal is not to keep you in therapy indefinitely.

Our goal is to provide focused, effective support that helps you create meaningful and lasting change.

The Clarity and Strategy Session is $235 and lasts 75 minutes.

Ongoing therapy sessions are $200 per session.

As a private-pay practice, I do not bill insurance directly. This allows us to focus on creating a treatment plan based on your needs rather than insurance requirements or limitations.

Many clients choose private-pay therapy because it offers greater privacy, flexibility, and the ability to focus on meaningful progress without the restrictions that often come with insurance-based care.

If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide documentation that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

Payment is accepted via credit card, HSA, or FSA and is processed securely through Ivy Pay, a HIPAA-compliant payment platform.

A card is kept on file for all clients, and sessions are charged automatically following each appointment.

This allows us to keep the administrative side of therapy simple, so we can focus our time and energy on the work that matters most.

Unbound Counseling Services is a private-pay practice and does not bill insurance directly.

Many clients choose private-pay therapy because it allows for greater privacy, flexibility, and a treatment plan based on their needs rather than insurance requirements.

As a private-pay practice, I can focus on providing specialized, individualized care without the limitations that often accompany insurance-based treatment.

If you have out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Reimbursement amounts vary by plan, so I encourage you to contact your insurance provider directly to learn more about your out-of-network coverage.

Possibly. If your insurance plan includes out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

Reimbursement amounts vary by plan, so I recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits and eligibility.

As a private-pay practice, I do not bill insurance directly.

If you plan to use out-of-network benefits for weekly therapy, here are helpful questions to ask your insurance provider:

• Do I have coverage for out-of-network mental health services?

• What is the reimbursement rate per session?

• What is my deductible? Has it been met?

• Do I have a co-insurance amount?

• Are there limits to my coverage (session limits or dollar caps)?

• Do I need prior authorization or a referral?

• Is telehealth covered?

• How do I submit a claim for reimbursement?

All sessions are conducted virtually.

This allows clients throughout Illinois and Arizona to access specialized, focused treatment without the need to travel.

Many clients find that working from their own environment makes it easier to apply what we’re doing in real time, leading to more natural and lasting change.

To ensure availability for all clients, 24 hours’ notice is required to cancel or reschedule an appointment.

Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice, as well as missed appointments, will be charged a $100 late cancellation fee.

For therapy intensives, consistent attendance is essential to maintain momentum. Changes to scheduled sessions may impact the structure and effectiveness of the work.

Many of my clients come to this practice after trying therapy in the past without the results they hoped for.

Often this happens because the therapy they received focused primarily on insight or discussion without directly addressing the patterns maintaining anxiety or emotional distress.

My work emphasizes structured, evidence-based treatment designed to create real behavioral and psychological change.

It’s very common to worry that talking about difficult thoughts or emotions might make them stronger.

In our work together, we move at a pace that is both intentional and manageable. Evidence-based approaches like ERP and ACT are specifically designed to help you face difficult experiences in ways that reduce their power over time rather than intensify them.

You will never be pushed into something you’re not prepared for. Instead, we build skills and confidence step by step so that the work feels challenging in a productive way—not overwhelming.

The first step is to schedule a Clarity and Strategy Session.

During this 75-minute session, we’ll understand what’s keeping you stuck, identify the most effective path forward, and create a focused plan for next steps.
