Affordable & Flexible Therapy Options

Access to therapy should not depend on long-term financial certainty. I offer both low-cost options and structured short-term plans to support clients with different needs, goals, and timelines.

You can choose between:

Ongoing, open-ended therapy
A focused 12-week therapy plan
Low-cost or sliding-scale options (when available)

Choosing What’s Right for You

Some clients begin with 12 weeks and later transition into ongoing therapy.

Others prefer to work open-ended from the start.

During our consultation, we can discuss:

Your goals
Your financial considerations
Your preferred structure
Your current capacity

There is no “better” option — only what fits your life right now.

Short term VS Long term

12 Week Plan

Ideal for:

Navigating a breakup or life transition
Addressing anxiety patterns
Processing a specific event
Strengthening boundaries
Clarifying identity questions
Building coping skills

A 12-week plan is:

Structured
Goal-oriented
Time-limited
Collaborative

We will:

Identify clear focus areas early on
Track themes and progress intentionally
Develop practical tools and insights
Reassess at the end of 12 weeks

On going long-term Therapy

This format allows space to:

Explore family history and attachment patterns
Work through trauma
Process identity development
Address relational dynamics
Understand long-standing emotional patterns
Move at a pace guided by what emerges

Long-term therapy supports:

Deeper transformation
Gradual integration
Relational repair within the therapeutic space
Work that unfolds over time rather than in phases

There is no fixed timeline.
