ABOUT Bonnie
Artist • Educator • Thought Leader

Inspiring Positive Change Through Beautiful Thinking

I am an Artist, an Educator, and a Thought Leader.

The Artist in me is always on the hunt for ways to make things better. When I find it, the Educator in me wants to share it with you. As a Thought Leader, I've spent my life learning and developing different models in art, business, life, spirituality, and more. Thought Leadership is the process of gathering the best ideas of these models, recombining them, adding a secret ingredient, and offering this as a Master Formula for change.

What you get...

Functionality You Will Love

01

Inner Harmony

Individuals do better when beliefs and behaviors are in alignment across body, mind, spirit and life context. But that can only happen when those beliefs and behaviors are understood. Adversity can disguise these driving forces. Learn the secret to uncovering, then redefining these to make effortless change.

03

I've been there, too

Nobody gets to skip steps. The best of us have had to endure injuries, humiliation, failure, fears and loss. We all want justice, and to enjoy the benefits of hard work. Sometimes it feels like we can’t get a break! I get it. As a life-long learner, I’m constantly learning new ways to think, to understand myself, and the world around me. Therapy is about a journey together where each shares wisdom, we carry one-another’s burdens, and collaborate to make the most of the time we have on this beautiful planet.

02

Rapid Results

While pain may manifest differently for everybody, we can make use of strong patterns to cut through the fog with targeted interventions that get quickly to the heart of what matters. I use a unique combination of therapies that work quickly to get you onto living with more joy and freedom. And no need to focus only on the past.

04

Understanding and Honesty

It is important to keep expectations clear and realistic. And, I want you to get good value from our time together. There will be times when I will challenge you, and times when I will simply hear you. These are your sessions, and this is your life. It is an honor to be invited to walk even a short distance on your journey. You will always be in charge of your own healing and results. Whether counseling or coaching, you will have a safe space to explore whatever floats your boat. Your pace. 

Your First Online Session

By the end of a first session with me, I want clients to feel they have found an ally, and a skilled therapist or coach who is a good match for their unique situation and goals. We will identify specific issues, make some starting goals, and assess safety and resources for the coming sessions together. I make sure clients feel heard, important, and safe to be honest in working with me.

​​

SESSION FEES

10-minute initial consultation – No charge
50-minute Individual Session – $150

60-minute Couples Session – $185

50-minute Coaching Session – $150

​

INITIAL APPOINTMENT

In our no-fee phone consultation you can share a bit about what’s going on in your life, and what sort of support you’re looking for. I can answer any questions you may have, and we can see if it feels like it’s a good fit for us to work together.

​

PAYMENT

Payment in full is due at the time of service and is made through your online Client Portal . I accept all major credit/debit cards. Be sure to select the right type of session as each has its own set of forms.

​

INSURANCE

I’m an out-of-network therapeutic provider, which means that I don’t do direct billing to insurance companies from this site. If you would like to work with me through your insurance provider, let me know during your consult and I can connect you through my RULA HEALTH portal to see if we've got you covered. Coaching is not included under insurance coverage.

 

CANCELLATION POLICY

I require a 48-hour notice for cancelled sessions. If sessions are cancelled or rescheduled with insufficient notice, or if you miss a session, you will be charged a fee for the full session rate. The reason for this is that I have set aside time that could have been used to serve another Thinker(s). Time is one of the most valuable resources we have, so mutual respect matters.

​

SCHEDULING APPOINTMENTS

I use a HIPAA compliant electronic health record (EHR) system called JaneApp. This platform provides a “Client Portal” that makes it easy for you to complete all paperwork, contact me securely using the chat feature, and make payments securely online. You may request to schedule via email, phone or the Contact Form on this website, however please be aware that those methods, although private, are not secure forms of communication. You will be sent a link to a Client Portal once you become a client. There, you can manage your account as you need.

​

HOW SESSIONS WORK

We’ll be using live video through a secure, HIPPA compliant video-conferencing platform, for our appointments. If this is new to you, no worries! I'm here to help. Simply click Client Portal at the top of the page once you become a client. Five minutes prior to our appointment time, follow the link. The meeting is started from my end. Once you arrive, I will get notification that you are in the online waiting room. I will then admit you and we're off and running! Please make sure the practical steps are complete, your forms are filled out, your payment is made, and you have filled in any assessments as these help ensure you get the specific services you are investing in. You deserve to get the most from each session!

​

INFORMED CONSENT

Informed Consent is an industry standard of best practice to ensure transparency, and that you are fully aware of benefits and risks to empower you to make informed choices about what is best for you. It is a part of our initial documentation, and will clarify our working relationship. This is a REQUIRED STEP to become a client with me. Your Intake documents include a signed INFORMED CONSENT to verify that you have completed this step and agree to abide by the terms and conditions therein as a condition to becoming a client with me. Thank you!
