Frequently asked questions

How much will counseling cost me?

My fee is $100 per 50 minute session. For those who can’t afford $100, there is a sliding fee scale that goes as low as $40. Each client determines how much they are able to pay. Clients able to pay the higher fees, make it possible for others to afford the help they need.

What is your approach to counseling?

I see each client as a unique person created by God and I want to connect with them where they are. Some refer to this as a psychodynamic approach. I utilize a variety of skills and tools including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), coaching, relaxation and visualization. I am a faith-based counselor and my personal faith in Jesus Christ is reflected in my counseling approach and style.
