Yesterday I was reminded how hesitant people sometimes are to reach out on their own behalf. A long-time client reached out to seek support for a loved one and is planning on paying for the loved one’s sessions. My listed professional rate, however, is currently beyond her means. She did what I wish EVERYONE would do – She asked for a rate reduction which I was happy to provide. I was SOOOOOO glad she asked for support. 

My fees are based on education, experience, and national averages for professional counseling AND I know they are beyond the means of some. As always I would rather someone get the support they need than insist on my listed fees. Having struggled financially myself, I understand!  I have been blessed in my own life with the generosity of service providers who offered me similar professional accommodations. All people need to do is ask me and we will work something out that is fair to both of us.  As many also know, I have offered both classes, and services for free for those who are truly struggling, and have accepted items and services in trade. 

So please, if you are in need of one-on-one support, or are really feeling called to one of my courses or trainings but the fees are currently beyond your means, please reach out and we will negotiate out a price that works for you.   

With love,
