What To Expect

Individual Therapy

If you should choose to work with me as your counselor, in session, I work to guide you to be more attentive to how you are experiencing your life moment to moment. This type of focused attention gives rise to change that is natural, spontaneous, and intuitive.  As we continue this work, your insight into your inner life increases, and you are able to take what we are doing in session out into the world and your daily life.

Therapy is always a collaborative process, and once you begin to feel more confident in how you are dealing with your current problem, our work can take many different directions. We may decide to begin meeting less often, allowing counseling to be a support as you move forward. We may also decide to continue meeting weekly in order to move into the process of longer-term therapy. This is a process where we meet weekly (sometimes bi-weekly) for anywhere from 6-9 months to several years.

Mid to long-term therapy integrates the process of regular sessions into your daily life for an extended period of time.  By embarking upon the journey of long-term therapy, you have decided to spend a particular period of time in your life seeking to better understand yourself.  And that process has the potential to bring about long-lasting and profound change.

My fee for a session of individual therapy or counseling is $80 paid by cash or check at time of service. I encourage you to contact me for more information, or if you have questions about the financial feasibility of therapy.  

Couples Counseling

Wherever you are in your relationship, couples counseling can make a difference.  In a safe and relaxed atmosphere you will be given the chance to explore what is holding you, as a couple, both together and apart.

Whether you are seeking counseling because you know you both want it to work, or  struggling to know if you can make it work, couples counseling can offer a great amount of clarity and insight into the important connections and disconnections in your relationship.

Couples counseling can also be a great addition to individual therapy.  By doing work both for yourselves and for your relationship, you create a foundation for love, trust, and fulfillment in your relationship.

My fee for a 60-minute session of couples counseling is $100. Please contact me for more information.
