Fees & Investment
Starting therapy is an investment—not just financially, but in your well-being, your relationships, and the life you want to create.
Many of the women I work with have spent a long time carrying everything on their own. They're managing anxiety, the invisible mental load of motherhood, relationship stress, or the constant pressure to keep everything together while feeling overwhelmed inside.
Therapy offers something many of them haven't had in a long time:
A place to exhale.
A space that's focused entirely on you.
A relationship where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.
Many clients choose private pay because they value the privacy, flexibility, consistency, and personalized care that allows therapy to focus on their goals—not just what's required by an insurance plan.
Session Rates
Individual Therapy (Private Pay Only)
Focused Therapy Session (30 minutes) – $120
Available for established clients when a brief check-in or focused support is clinically appropriate.
Individual Therapy Session (50 minutes) – $180
Extended Therapy Session (90 minutes) –$300
Available upon request and when clinically appropriate.
Extended sessions provide additional time for deeper therapeutic work, including trauma processing, major life transitions, or complex concerns that benefit from a longer session.
Initial Intake Session (50 minutes) – $180
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. While many clients benefit from traditional 50-minute sessions, others may benefit from a shorter focused session or an extended session that allows more time for meaningful exploration and healing. Together, we'll determine the session length and frequency that best supports your needs, goals, and stage of life.
Clients often begin therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, anxious, or disconnected from themselves.
Over time, many begin to experience:
Less anxiety and overthinking
Greater emotional resilience and self-confidence
Stronger boundaries and healthier relationships
More clarity around difficult decisions
A deeper sense of calm, balance, and connection with themselve
Why Some Clients Choose Private Pay
Choosing a therapist is a personal decision, and for many clients, finding the right fit matters more than how therapy is paid for.
Private pay offers greater flexibility, privacy, and the freedom to focus on your unique goals rather than the requirements of an insurance plan. Together, we can tailor therapy to your needs, move at a pace that feels right for you, and make decisions based on your care—not what is covered.
Many of the women I work with are navigating anxiety, motherhood, fertility, life transitions, relationship challenges, or the invisible mental load of carrying so much for everyone else. They often want a space where they can speak openly, explore what's beneath the surface, and receive care that is personalized to their experiences.
If You're Wondering Whether It's Worth It
It's completely understandable to think carefully about the cost of therapy.
Many clients tell me they hesitated before reaching out, wondering whether investing in themselves was the "right" decision. Over time, many discover that therapy becomes more than a weekly appointment. It becomes a place to breathe, gain perspective, build practical tools, and feel supported through life's challenges.
The benefits often extend well beyond our sessions—into their relationships, parenting, work, confidence, and overall well-being.
Therapy is an investment, but for many clients, it's an investment in feeling calmer, more connected, and more like themselves again.

Good Faith Estimate

Start with a Small Step
You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out.
The next step can simply be a conversation.
A 15-minute consultation gives you a chance to:
ask questions
share what’s been going on
see if this feels like the right fit
We can talk through what you’re looking for and see if this feels like the right next step for you.
