Get started

Let's start with a conversation.


Choosing a therapist is a strange kind of decision, because you're trying to judge a relationship you haven't had yet. A free 15-minute call helps. You can hear how I think, ask whatever you want, and decide without any pressure.

Book a free consultation

What happens next


We talk for 15 minutes

You tell me what's going on. I tell you how I'd approach it, and whether I think I'm the right person for it.

If it's a fit, we schedule

I'll send intake paperwork through a secure client portal before your first session.

First session, 50 minutes

Mostly I listen. We'll start mapping what's happening and what you want to be different.

From there, usually weekly

We'll talk openly about pacing as we go. Nothing here is locked in.

Practice policies


Nothing here should be a surprise later. If any of it raises a question, ask on the consultation call.

Cancellations
Please give at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. Sessions cancelled with less notice, and missed sessions, are charged the full fee. Insurance does not reimburse missed sessions. I understand emergencies happen, and I'll use judgment.
Late arrivals
We'll use the time remaining in your scheduled session, and the full fee still applies.
Good Faith Estimate
Before we begin, you'll receive a written estimate of expected costs, as required by the No Surprises Act. You're entitled to this, and you can request an updated one at any time.
Communication
Text or email is the easiest way to reach me for scheduling. Please keep clinical content out of those channels, because neither is fully secure. Anything sensitive belongs in session or in the secure client portal.
Response time
I respond within one business day. I'm not available for crisis response between sessions.
Confidentiality
What you say here stays here, with the narrow exceptions the law requires: risk of serious harm to yourself or someone else, suspected abuse or neglect of a child or vulnerable adult, and court order. I'll walk you through all of it at intake.
Couples & families
In relational work, the relationship is my client. I don't keep secrets between partners. If something is shared with me individually that belongs in the room, I'll encourage you to bring it there.
Records
Kept securely and retained as Utah law and professional ethics require. You may request a copy of your records at any time.

Email me to schedule

Please don't include sensitive personal or clinical information in your first email, because regular email isn't secure. A few sentences about what you're looking for is plenty.
