Q: What are your fees, and do you accept insurance?

A: My fees are subject to change but are competitive with the surrounding market. I do accept some insurances. Call to find out if I accept yours. Always check with your insurance for out-of-network benefit, as well. Finally, DON’T LET MONEY GET IN THE WAY OF GETTING HELP!

Q: Who do you work with?

A: Teens to older adults with young mothers/couples being the most frequent clients.

Q: What about your training and experience?

A: I have a Bachelor of Science in psychology from Brigham Young University and a Master of Education degree from Southeastern Louisiana University, with an emphasis in community counseling. My experience has been varied, mostly in substance abuse. I also have experience in outpatient psychiatry, inpatient psychiatry, residential treatment, and private practice.

Q: You’re located in Utah – what about religion?

A: I do not have a therapeutic orientation with respect to religion. However, I speak fluent “Mormon,” being an active member of the LDS (Latter-day Saint) church myself. For those that want to incorporate spirituality, be it LDS or some other denomination, I am fully open and supportive. And I am certainly understanding of the most important issues pertaining to the LDS faith. But faith is only as much a part of therapy as you want to make it, and I will never impress any value system on you. I will also not remove the BYU rug from my office door. 😉

Q: What made you get into this business?

A: I love getting to know people and helping with their problems! In college, I struggled to see myself doing anything else and being fulfilled. This is my calling!

Q: What makes me such a great client?

A: When you come ready to open and unload, and aren’t afraid to get your therapeutic hands dirty, so to speak. I enjoy getting to know people – hopefully, you feel the same!
