My style is warm, engaged, and relational. I'm an active participant in therapy, not someone who sits quietly and nods for fifty-five minutes. I'll ask questions, share observations, and help us pay attention to patterns that might otherwise be easy to miss.

I tend to be grounded and steady, but also expressive and responsive. With some clients, sessions feel thoughtful and reflective. With others, they are more conversational, humorous, or energetic. I try to meet people where they are rather than forcing therapy into a particular style.

A lot of the work involves noticing what happens in real time. Rather than only talking about your life, we often pay attention to what is happening as you tell the story. You might notice yourself minimizing a feeling, talking yourself out of a need, second-guessing yourself, or shifting quickly away from something vulnerable. Those moments can tell us a great deal about the patterns that keep showing up outside the therapy room.

At the same time, I strive to be nonjudgmental, emotionally present, and respectful of your pace. Some people want to move slowly and carefully. Others are eager to dive in. My goal is not to push you faster than feels useful, but to help you stay engaged with the things that matter.

Most clients experience the work as supportive, collaborative, and deeply human. While therapy can be challenging at times, many people find it feels more genuine, engaging, and alive than they expected.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question.

Some people come to therapy looking for support with a specific issue, life transition, relationship challenge, or period of increased stress. Others are interested in deeper work around long-standing patterns that have been affecting their relationships, self-esteem, or emotional well-being for years.

As a general guideline:

A few months of therapy is often enough to gain clarity, develop new coping strategies, and begin making meaningful changes in a specific area of life.

Six months to a year or more is more common when working with long-standing patterns such as people pleasing, conflict avoidance, relationship anxiety, attachment wounds, chronic self-doubt, or the tendency to lose yourself in relationships. These patterns usually develop over many years and often take time to change in a lasting way.

Many of the clients I work with have already spent years understanding their patterns. They are not necessarily looking for quick symptom relief as much as they are looking for meaningful, sustainable change. That kind of work tends to unfold gradually.

We will check in regularly about how therapy is going, what is feeling helpful, and whether our work still aligns with your goals. The intention is always meaningful progress, not staying in therapy longer than necessary.

I typically recommend starting with weekly sessions.

For most people, weekly therapy provides enough consistency to build momentum, deepen the work, and help us recognize patterns as they are happening rather than only after the fact.

As therapy progresses, many clients choose to transition to biweekly sessions. Some people also begin biweekly due to scheduling or financial considerations, which can still be effective depending on your goals and level of engagement between sessions.

We'll check in regularly about what frequency makes the most sense for you. The goal is to find a rhythm that supports meaningful progress without creating unnecessary strain.

I do not bill insurance directly. If your plan includes out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill that you may submit for possible reimbursement.

Individual therapy sessions are $175 for 55 minutes. Couples therapy sessions are $225 for 55 minutes.

Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) can often be used to pay for psychotherapy services.

Yes. I offer both in-person and virtual therapy sessions.

In-person appointments are available at my Salt Lake City office, and virtual sessions are available for clients located anywhere in Utah.

Current availability and scheduling options can be discussed during your consultation call.

Many of the people I work with have been in therapy before. They often have a strong understanding of their patterns and are not looking for more information as much as they are looking for meaningful change. My approach focuses on helping people understand what happens when those patterns show up in real life and developing new ways of responding to them.

Getting started is simple.

Reach out through the contact form and I'll get back to you within 1–2 business days. From there, we can schedule a complimentary 20–25 minute consultation to discuss what you're looking for, answer any questions you may have, and determine whether working together feels like a good fit.

Then, we schedule your first appointment and I’ll send you intake paperwork to complete online before we begin. Intake paperwork will come from Kaizen Mental Health Center, the therapy clinic where I currently practice.
