Sliding Scale

If you are the beneficiary of generational wealth, have investments, had your education paid for or if paying my full fee will have little to no impact on your spending habits in other parts of your life, I ask that you pay my full fee. 

If you would need to make sacrifices to pay the full fee (meaning you would have to cut back on other spending in your life — eating at restaurants, going on vacations, buying new clothes), we can discuss a slightly reduced rate. 

If paying the full fee would lead to hardship in your life (such as not being able to pay rent, put food on the table for kids, or pay for transportation to get to work), we can discuss a much reduced rate.

It’s weird to pay for support. Capitalism and care are contradictory, opposing forces. In general, I look at fees as responsive things that should breathe and change depending on how our volatile society is impacting your ability to access care. I ask that clients with means, however seemingly scarce, pay the higher end of my scale when they can. This helps me plan ahead and create a financial buffer so that I can accommodate change when systemic breakdown affects you.
