A Note about Sliding Scale Payments
(How much should I pay?)
Please read the following criteria to determine what rate makes sense for you and your financial situation. Remember that your determination relies on truthfulness and accountability. The point is to make my services accessible to folks in a wide range of economic backgrounds. Please be mindful that if you purchase a price at the lowest end of the scale when you can truthfully afford paying higher rates, you are limiting access to those who truly need the gift of financial flexibility.
Highest Rate
You have access to financial security, own property, or have personal savings; you are able to pay for "wants" and spend little time worrying about securing necessities; you have economic privilege and power in our community.
Middle Rate
You may be paying off debt or working to build savings, but you also have access to steady income. You do NOT struggle to meet basic needs such as food, shelter, medical care, child care, etc.
You might have to cut back on some discretionary spending in your life (such as going out to dinner, buying coffee, buying a new outfit, or going on vacation), but the sacrifice is short-term, and will not harm you in the long term.
Lower Rate
You have access to basic needs such as food, housing, and childcare, though sometimes it may feel difficult. You are able to save money to be able to pay for these sessions.
