Frequently Asked Questions

The office is located at 167 E Vine Street, Murray, UT 84107.

Parking is available in the small lot north of the building.

Clients' entrance is located on the south side of the building.

I'm not in-network with any providers, which means all clients can seek reimbursement from their insurance after paying me directly.

Individual Therapy

I work with all insurance by providing a “superbill” (a fancy name for a receipt) that clients can submit to their insurance for reimbursement.

Relationship Therapy

Unfortunately, most insurance plans do not cover relationship therapy. This is partially because the relationship itself is the client, and so billing according to one partner's medical diagnosis is inappropriate.

To figure out if your insurance will reimburse you for relationship therapy, call or email your provider and ask the following questions:

• Is CPT code 90847 with ICD-10 diagnosis code Z63.0 a covered benefit under my current plan?

• If so, at what rate is reimbursed per 110 min. session?

Session cost:

• 50–55 minute individual session (IFS, individual work for relationship support, translation-to-practice life change work): $180

• 110-minute relationship session: $460

• Relationship Intensives: Priced individually depending upon facilitator travel, timing, duration, etc.

Payment is due at the time of service.

I offer a limited number of reduced-fee appointments.

To apply, reach out to me via the "Contact" page, and request a sliding scale application.

I get it - things happen! It can be an adjustment to think of paying for a service that you weren’t able to utilize. It’s not your fault, after all, that you got sick, or carpool was late, for example. Whenever I am able to, I'll do my best to fill your spot if you need to cancel with less than the minimum notice. Unfortunately, that’s not always possible.

I am committed to your success as a client, and therefore committed to protecting time for you. Requesting 48 hours notice for couples and 24 hours for individuals allows me to ensure that, even when things come up every once in a while, you are still able to access the support you seek for your ongoing work.

Couple's sessions cancelled less than 48 hours before the session start time are charged 1/2 the session feel, and less than 24 hours are charged the session fee. Individual sessions cancelled less than 24 hours before the session start time are charged the full session fee.

My role as a therapist is to support your healing as you define it. Through warm, caring conversation, we proceed at exactly the pace that feels safe for you as we figure out how you’re experiencing challenges and what you’d like to change.

Once we have an idea of what change will look like for you, I’ll offer you several options of activities, exercises, and frameworks that might help you get from here to there. I’m always happy to explain why I think a particular approach might be a good fit, and I’m always ready to change course if something about the way we’re working doesn’t work for you.

While I have developed expertise in healing modalities, you are the expert on your experience. You can expect a respectful, supportive, collaborative approach from me as we strive to support your unique work.

Finally, I am committed to outcomes. I don’t think my role is to passively listen and only validate while clients talk. Rather, I see my role as utilizing proven methods to help clients build on their strengths, make powerful discoveries about themselves, and live more fully embodied, enriching lives. I am a capacity building therapist; I begin our relationship knowing that it will end when you feel you have accomplished your healing and growth goals, and ready to celebrate with you when that time comes.

I am deeply committed to supporting clients from a person-first stance.

Sometimes it can seem comforting to work with clinicians who we assume share some values, life experiences, or perspectives with us. Sometimes, however, this can lead to both clinicians and clients making assumptions about each other than get in the way of the work.

While I strive to curate ongoing cultural humility, I can’t anticipate your specific, lived experience. Rather than assume I know you based on a category, however, this is an invitation to learn about your specific experiences towards maximally personalizing your work.

I don’t have to share your values in order to respect and honor them in our work together. It’s not your job to educate me about a demographic experience, but it is my job to help you explore how your particular experience of your identity overlaps with your healing.

My expertise is well suited to struggling couples, people managing challenging family relationships, and people striving to heal from childhood trauma.

People who are earnestly hoping to better understand themselves and implement meaningful change tend to be well-supported by my practice.

I welcome and and enthusiastically affirm LGBTQIA individuals and partnerships, expansive relationship structures, members of faith communities, and clients who don’t yet know who they are or what community might be right for them.

As the expert in your experience, you are always in control of whether or not we continue working together. If my approach isn’t the right fit for you, I'm happy to offer recommendations of clinicians who might be a better fit.

Every clinician is different, and every client has unique needs. I see my role as supporting those for whom my approach feels appropriate by working together, and supporting those who need something else by helping to figure out what that might be.

I schedule free 20 minute phone consultations with every prospective client. This helps us to assess your needs, my skills, and how well they line up so that we can get you support as efficiently as possible.

I can’t make anyone participate in this work.

What I can do is offer a structured process that feels fair, non-shaming, highly practical and action oriented - so both partners can freely and fairly evaluate whether this work is right for them.
