Weekly counseling sessions have been found to have the most significant results. Sessions are set up weekly for the same day and time, which makes things easy for you. I want to build rapport and give you the best support and success possible.

I sure do! Therapy intensives - whether we do an intensive or work intensively is a great alternative and also have good outcomes. Check out the therapy intensive page for more information.

Working intensively looks like three hours of therapy at one time. We could even add a fourth hour if you are feeling up to it. We can do this on a weekly basis until your goals are met or bi-weekly. To read more about working intensively click here.

First off, my goal is to get you in and get you out, living your best life. So, this is a hard question to answer. The length of treatment will vary from one individual to another. Deep, acute troubles typically require fewer treatment sessions, while continuous, chronic conditions require a more long-term approach. The average client stays with me for 30 to 40ish sessions. There is no correct answer, and we will collaborate to help you make the best-informed choice.

I have a no-cancellation policy for individual sessions.

You can reschedule an appointment seven days before or after your original appointment if there is an absence. I will make every effort to find a time for you to reschedule.

In accordance with the No Surprise Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. To read more click here.

Honestly, if you are “crazy,” then we therapists are “crazy” too! Therapists happen to be big proponents of counseling, and good therapists have spent many hours doing their own therapy. I’ll raise both my hands and let you know I have spent a lot of hours on a couch and still do!

A good counselor sees clients as courageous, brave, and honored to work with and spend time with their clients. Plus, most things you think are “crazy” have been heard before and most likely have an explanation. Therapists have heard it all!

At the beginning of each session, we do a mindful moment. Why you might ask? Well, it sets up the session in a way that lets us connect, get to know ourselves a bit better, and shake off any wiggles if needed. Life is stressful and a moment or two is a true blessing.

Here are three great resources, https://www.inclusivetherapists.com/united-states/utah, www.therapyden.com, and www.pschologytoday.com, that can help you find a therapist who has current availability.
