FEES
You’ll know from day 1 of working with me that I fully believe in honesty and transparency, which is why I feel it’s important to be upfront about the costs of working together. I know that this seems like an investment, and it is. It’s an investment in yourself. I value and believe in myself and what I can offer, and I want to help you do the same. You are not just paying me for the hour that you are with me. You are paying me for my education, my years of clinical experience and training, my knowledge and skills, my time outside of sessions researching and preparing for how I can continue to support you, and the continuing of my education in order to best support you by continuing to grow and learn as a professional. However, the love, care, and unconditional positive regard I provide my clients is free. My relationships with each client are unique and special in their own ways and in many ways, our honest and trusting relationship is going to help facilitate the changes that you experience.
