My pricing is $45 per session for clients in individual therapy, and $50 per session for couples. I accept both PayPal and Zelle. Although at this time I do not accept health insurance, I work on a sliding scale and will match your copay. I like to check in with my clients in between sessions.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently participated in an online fashion show after taking a long break from social events due to the recent pandemic. All attendees eventually concluded how important it is to maintain the practice of self-care and healthy self-esteem.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Ask a lot of questions. Avoid therapists who promise a quick or overnight fix. Do look for someone who encourages you to become the best possible version of yourself. If you feel respected, validated and supported, then you can feel confident that you have found a therapist who is a good fit for you.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
What is actually counseling and what do I expect from therapy? What is my main and pressing issue? Am I willing to open myself up and share my story? If I have some questions and concerns, am I willing and ready to ask the therapist?
