My rate is $175 per 60-minute session. I understand that therapy is a financial commitment, and I strive to provide high-quality care that makes it a valuable investment in your well-being. This fee covers:

• Expertise & Training – Years of education and specialized skills.

• Personalized Care – Sessions tailored to your unique needs.

• Time & Preparation – Work outside of sessions, like notes and planning.

• Business Costs – Office, licensing, and professional resources.

• Flexibility – No insurance limits on treatment.

I don’t take insurance, but I can provide a superbill for possible reimbursement. If you have out-of-network benefits, your insurance may reimburse a portion of the cost. I recommend checking with your insurance provider to ask about your coverage for out-of-network mental health services.

This allows me to:

• Offer more flexible, personalized care

• Keep your information completely private

• Avoid surprise billing issues

• Focus on what’s best for you, not what insurance allows

• Keep the process simple and hassle-free

It varies! Most people start with weekly sessions, but we’ll adjust the frequency over time based on your needs and progress. Therapy lasts as long as it’s helpful for you.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please do so at least 24 hours in advance. Late cancellations or missed appointments will incur a $100 fee. I understand that emergencies happen, so I offer a one-time exception in such cases.

I am not currently accepting new in-person clients. However, I am accepting new virtual clients residing in California & Utah. If you’re interested in starting therapy, I’d love to connect! Due to licensure regulations, I can only work with clients located within California and Utah.

I believe therapy should be tailored to you. I take a trauma-focused, depth-oriented approach while drawing from various modalities to best support your needs. Depending on what feels most helpful, I may incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, or parts work (IFS). My goal is to create a supportive space that helps you heal and grow in a way that works for you.

Yes, your information stays private and won’t be shared without your written consent. However, I must break confidentiality in certain situations, such as:

• If there’s suspected abuse of a child, elder, or dependent adult.

• If you make a serious threat to harm someone.

• If you are in danger of harming yourself or others.

Yes! My role as a therapist is not to challenge or talk you out of your beliefs but to support your healing and well-being.

I respect and honor your faith, and I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and experiences—whether you are questioning, facing challenges within your religious community, or simply seeking support. My priority is helping you navigate your journey in a way that aligns with your values and needs.

Many clients appreciate my specialized knowledge of high-control groups and LDS culture, which allows us to have deeper conversations without needing to explain terminology or background.

I chose a space theme for my website because it reflects what healing from religious trauma and faith deconstruction often feels like—vast, uncertain, and full of possibility. Questioning old beliefs can be disorienting, like stepping into the unknown. But it can also be freeing. Space invites curiosity, openness, and the freedom to chart your own path.

Many belief systems are built on certainty and having all the answers. I chose this theme to reflect something different—a journey that makes space for questions, curiosity, and the unknown. Deconstruction can be both scary and beautiful, and space captures that mix: leaving behind what you once knew while stepping into something wide open and full of possibility.

For those from an LDS background, space is often tied to temple imagery and teachings about the afterlife. Here, I reclaim that symbolism—not as a destination someone else defines, but as a metaphor for growth, choice, and the expansive potential of becoming who you really are.
