Online Communication
Online communication with a mental health professional is a great way to get help with many of life's problems. Our email exchange is a means by which you, the client, can receive information and guidance from an experienced mental health professional. It is perhaps most accurately perceived as a process creating, over time, a highly individualized self-help book specifically designed to address topics in which you are interested.
In our collaboration you retain the right to determine which topics we cover and the depth of consideration each receives. In other words, as a client, you are free to contribute or withhold any information you choose. Moreover, you are under no obligation to apply information and/or opinions I contribute to our email exchange. While it is hoped you will find our exchange useful in your efforts to help yourself and improve your life, it is not possible to guarantee that. Despite the ever increasing positive feedback from clients, email therapy is best considered experimental, until its efficacy has been validated scientifically.
Helping you build the life you want is what our exchange is all about.

Complementary Consultation
To get started, I offer one free introductory consultation. This complementary consultation is a 10-20-minute meeting done via online video conferencing or by phone. It is a no-pressure meeting designed to achieve the following:
- Help you decide if you want to begin the process and journey of life coaching.
- Identify your goals and desired outcomes.
- Determine what services would be most meaningful.
- Allow you to meet me and decide if I would be a "good fit" as your guide.
- Review fee structure and confidentiality agreements.

Email Service Packages
Email exchange fees are based on the time it takes me to read and reply to your emails. The basic rate is $0.75 per minute of my time (comparing rather favorably to the roughly $2 per minute commonly charged for face-to-face psychotherapy.)
Here's how it works. To start an email exchange, along with your first email you purchase a package of email processing time. For each email you send me, I will let you know the time it takes to read and reply to that email as well as how much time remains in your "time bank." Purchasing additional packages adds more time to your time bank. If you complete your work with time remaining in the bank, fees for the remaining time will be promptly refunded.

There are three package sizes available.
The 180 minute super-saver package, comes with a surprise 20 minute bonus. That's 200 minutes for the price of $108! But wait! There's more!! The 240 minute super-duper-saver package comes with an astonishing 30 minute bonus! I may joke about it, but make no mistake, the bonuses are real. |

You are free to cancel a package at any time or for any reason. If you do, however, you lose any bonus time associated with that package; your refund being calculated on the basis of the remaining basic package, without bonus. The email prices and bonuses offered here may be changed at any time.
BUT WAIT!!! For the first-time client, I also offer a single, one-time only, email package of up to 30 minutes @ $15 (US).This email is intended for someone who has a simple, brief question he or she would like to get a professional's opinion on, or the new client who wants to try out a single, brief email before signing up for a larger package.
