Fees -
My standard rate is $60 for a 50 minute session. Given the current economic situation, I
strive to make counseling accessible to all. (Counseling in our valley typically runs $80-$160
per session.) If you are unable to pay the standard fee, we will decide together on an
amount. I offer group therapy as well, which for many issues, has been proven as effective
as individual therapy and is more affordable.
Payment is expected at the beginning of each appointment by cash or check. You may also
pay ahead of time with a credit card on this website.
About insurance -
I am happy to provide a document for you to submit to your insurance company for
reimbursement. You should check with them ahead of time to determine if they will
reimburse or not and at what level.
Many people choose to pay for counseling out of pocket regardless. To learn more - visit

Need Help?
So many times we receive help and support as we travel through life and there is no way to
pay back…and the people would not want us to, even if we could. We can however “pay
forward” and keep the spirit of giving and helping alive.
The “Paying Forward Program” was inspired in my practice by friends who gave me $150.00
to make counseling available to a single mother who had just lost her job. I decided to
match that amount in services, and create a package of five sessions. The idea has grown,
and now there are currently several "Pay Forward Packages" available. If you need help...
please ask.
