Concentrated work for couples who do not want to wait a week between sessions. An intensive costs more than a weekly session because it is far more than one: a pre-intensive assessment, a plan built around your relationship, four uninterrupted hours, and structured follow-up, compressing months of progress into a single focused day.
Four focused hours that move further than months of weekly work, with a follow-up session built in. Front-load the breakthrough, then continue weekly to protect it.See details

How It Works.
Couples Work Is Private Pay
Insurance typically does not cover relationship counseling, because it requires a mental health diagnosis for one person, which does not reflect the work couples therapy actually does. Private pay keeps the focus on your relationship, not on a billing code.
Individual Therapy and IEHP
For individual therapy, I accept IEHP, with a limited number of slots, and also offer a private pay rate. The free consultation is the place to check current availability and what fits you best.
These fees reflect specialized couples work from a licensed therapist with over fifteen years of experience, not a general counseling rate. The goal is real change in fewer sessions, rather than open-ended therapy that drifts.
Most couples find the investment worthwhile against what is actually at stake: a relationship that works, children growing up in a steadier home, and two people who genuinely like each other again.
The free consultation is the right place to ask any questions about cost and decide which option fits before you commit to anything.
Simple and Up Front.
Accepted Payment Methods
Payment is due at the time of service. I accept cash, credit and debit cards including Visa and Mastercard, and Zelle. Intensives are reserved with a 50 percent deposit by Zelle at the time of booking, with the remaining balance due on the day of your intensive, also by Zelle.
Cancellation Policy
I ask for at least 48 hours' notice to cancel or change an appointment. If something unavoidable comes up, simply reschedule for later that same week and there is no charge. Appointments cancelled with less than 48 hours' notice, and not rescheduled within the same week, are billed at the full session fee. Holding your time means turning other couples away, so this keeps the schedule fair for everyone.
Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate
Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your care will cost. Health care providers are required to give people who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for services, including psychotherapy.
You can ask any provider for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute it. Keep a copy of any estimate you receive for your records.
