I work with teens, adults, couples and families. If you are feeling stuck, unable to communicate effectively, or in a difficult place with others, I want you to know that I am committed to helping people just like you. Together we can find new skills, challenge old patterns, and creatively find new approaches to positive change.

My style is client focused, creative, and playful.  My intention and commitment is to provide a safe and supportive environment that allows you to cultivate a strong sense of mutual respect, understanding, positive communication, and joy.

Cost of Therapy

My basic rate is $80.00 for a 50 minute session, $120.00 for an 80 minute session.  Couples and Family Therapy often work best in 80 minute sessions.  I do not take insurance at this time.

I hold a certain number of spaces for “adjusted fee” situations on a space available basis, ranging from $40 – $80 for a 50 minute session/$60 – $120 for an 80 minute session.

The adjusted fee will be determined between the two of us at the intake session, depending on your financial circumstances.  If you have more questions about fees, please ask.
