You’re here, reading this, which means you’re considering booking a session with me. And I’m guessing you’re also hesitating—maybe looking at the numbers, wondering if it’s worth it, questioning whether now is the right time.

I completely understand. If I were in your shoes, I’d be doing the same thing. Investing in therapy is a big decision. You’re committing real money to something intangible, something without guaranteed results or immediate visible benefits. And honestly? I’m not here to sell it to you. This decision isn’t about me—it’s about you. I simply offer the professional services that I hope will help, and whether you’re ready for that is entirely up to you.

But I do want to give you the full picture so you can make an informed decision.

The Financial Investment

Let me be transparent about the costs:

Initial Session: $275 for your first comprehensive intake session
Ongoing Sessions: $160 per one-hour session thereafter
Flexible Options: Payment plans and session packs are available—just ask about these during your first session

Most of my clients work with me for anywhere from 10 to 20 sessions, and some continue for a year or even two years. On average, that works out to roughly $3,800 over the course of treatment.

Yes, that’s a significant amount of money. But let me ask you this: when you compare the cost of investing in your mental well-being to, say, buying a new phone—which investment will genuinely change your life?

Understanding the True Value

Think about the most successful, fulfilled people you know. What do they have in common? Many of them have worked with a professional to develop mental clarity and emotional resilience. By considering therapy, you’re considering joining them.

Here’s what makes this decision different from other purchases: This isn’t a quick fix or temporary solution. This is about your life’s journey—building skills and insights that compound over time, just like financial investments. And like any worthwhile investment, meaningful change takes time to develop and grow.

The Cost of Not Investing

Consider what’s at stake if you don’t take this step:

• Months or even years spent making important decisions without clarity
• Unresolved patterns continuing to affect your mental health, relationships, sex life, and overall well-being
• Mental anguish and distress, not being able to talk to someone in complete confidence.
• Missing the window when you’re feeling ready and motivated to make real change

You’ve already taken the first step by considering therapy. My clients who honour that initial instinct often look back and tell me, “I wish I’d started sooner.”

The Bottom Line

The opportunity to work with a professional who truly understands your unique needs is valuable. Not because I’m telling you it is, but because you already know something needs to change—that’s why you’re here.

So let me ask you this: What would your life look like six months, then a year from now if you invested in yourself today?

Only you can answer that question. And only you can decide if now is your time. Ready to explore whether therapy is right for you? Reach out to schedule your initial session with me, no pressure, just conversation.
