Approach, Modalities, & Payment

Sliding Scale Rates

60 Minute Session: $75-$150/hour

  • My Sliding Scale is a Chose-Your-Rate System for Maximum Accessibility.

  • My services begin at $75/hour- That rate is reserved for those with very little to no income.

  • The top of my sliding scale lands at $150 hour- this is for humans who earn a comfortable living.

  • For Groups or Presentations rates are up for discussion however ideally land between $200-300 an hour.

You determine your own rate; its an honor system, no questions asked!

  • Choose the rate that feels like a true investment to you but which does NOT negatively impact your ability to thrive.

Approach

  • I value client led services through a neurodiversity affirming lens; this means that I do not solely determine the structure of my sessions rather I follow the lead and priorities of each client.

  • The listed descriptions of my services are summarized and not all inclusive; if you are looking for support on something I have not outlined above but you feel it is likely within my scope of expertise, please do not hesitate to send me a message!
