Therapy focuses on mental health, emotional healing, and clinical concerns. It is provided by a licensed mental health professional and may involve diagnosing and treating conditions such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or other emotional challenges. Because I am only licensed in Illinois, therapy is limited to those women located in Illinois.
Coaching is future-focused, collaborative, and growth-oriented. It is designed for people who are generally functioning well but want support creating change, clarity, or alignment in their lives. Coaching is not a regulated field, so I can work with women around the world.

Many people aren’t sure whether therapy or coaching is the best fit when they first reach out. If you're unsure, I offer a 20 minute consultation to talk through what you're experiencing and decide together what kind of support would be most helpful.
-
All sessions are currently offered virtually through a secure video platform. This allows you to receive support from the comfort of your own space, whether that’s your living room, porch, or favorite quiet corner.
-
Therapy services may be eligible for insurance reimbursement depending on your plan. Coaching services are not covered by insurance.
If we work together in therapy, we can review your insurance options during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
-
The consultation is a brief, pressure-free conversation where we talk about what’s bringing you here, what kind of support you’re looking for, and whether coaching or therapy would be the best fit.
It’s also a chance for you to ask questions and get a feel for how I work. If it feels aligned, we’ll talk about next steps.
-
That’s completely okay. Many people start with a consultation simply to explore what support might look like for them. There’s no pressure to decide immediately.
This work is most effective when you feel genuinely ready to invest in yourself.

Yes. In fact, often clients arrive here because their bodies have asked them to slow down in ways they never expected.
Our work honors pacing, nervous system regulation, and the emotional layers that often accompany burnout or chronic health challenges.
-
It can feel surprisingly uncomfortable at first to receive support instead of giving it. That’s completely normal.
Part of this work is learning how to allow yourself to be supported, guided, and witnessed — sometimes for the first time in a long time.

For many women, life slowly becomes a series of responsibilities, expectations, and roles — partner, caregiver, professional, helper, problem-solver. Over time it can feel like you’ve drifted further and further away from yourself.
Coming home to yourself is the process of reconnecting with the parts of you that may have been buried under years of over-giving, over-performing, and holding everything together.
It means learning to listen to your body again, trust your inner voice, set boundaries that honor your energy, and move through life in a way that feels more aligned and sustainable.
This work isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about remembering who you were before the world told you who you had to be.
Common Questions About Burnout, Stress, and Healing
-
Effective strategies for women to reconnect with themselves after prolonged stress often begin with slowing down and supporting the nervous system. This can include practices like reducing overstimulation, setting small boundaries, reconnecting with your body through gentle movement, and creating space to notice your thoughts and emotions without judgment.
At Coming Home Healing, this process is supported through coaching and therapy that focuses on nervous system regulation, self-awareness, and sustainable change.
-
A gentle approach to healing burnout involves working with your body and nervous system instead of pushing through exhaustion. Instead of forcing productivity, it emphasizes rest, regulation, boundaries, and gradually shifting patterns that lead to over-functioning.
This approach helps you recover in a way that is sustainable, rather than creating more stress.
-
You can find therapy services that focus on nervous system regulation by looking for therapists who use somatic, trauma-informed, or nervous system-based approaches. Many therapists now incorporate nervous system-informed work into their practice. At Coming Home Healing, therapy services are designed to support women experiencing burnout, chronic stress, and overwhelm by focusing on regulation, emotional processing, and creating lasting change.
-
Holistic approaches to overcoming burnout and people-pleasing often include a combination of nervous system regulation, boundary work, mindset shifts, and reconnecting with your internal needs and values.
Rather than focusing on quick fixes, this approach supports deeper, long-term healing.
-
Signs that it’s time to seek support for emotional exhaustion often include feeling constantly tired, irritable, or overwhelmed, difficulty resting without guilt, feeling disconnected from yourself, and noticing that what used to work is no longer sustainable.
These are often indicators that your nervous system is overwhelmed and support may be helpful.
-
To find a coach who can help you manage burnout and over-functioning, it’s helpful to look for someone who understands nervous system regulation, burnout, and patterns like people-pleasing.
