Questions,
answered.
Thinking about starting therapy comes with a lot of questions — that's completely normal. I've gathered the most common ones below. If you don't see yours, feel free to reach out.
Before our first session, you'll receive intake forms via email. Please complete these prior to meeting, as I'm unable to begin sessions until they are finished. These forms help me understand your history, current concerns, and goals so we can make the most of our time together.
Our first session is focused on getting to know you. We'll talk about what brings you to therapy, your history, and what you're hoping to work on. You don't need to prepare anything or have the "right words" — we'll go at your pace and start wherever feels most comfortable.
Please note: due to insurance requirements, I am required to provide a preliminary diagnosis during our first session when applicable. We will talk through this together, and I will always aim to explain things in a clear and supportive way.
Each session is 50 minutes and is guided by what feels most important to you that day. We may explore emotions, patterns, past experiences, current stressors, or build practical coping tools. Sessions often include a mix of reflection, skill-building, and psychoeducation based on your needs.
Yes — you're welcome to eat or drink in session if that helps you feel comfortable. My style is warm, relaxed, and conversational. Therapy doesn't have to feel formal; I want you to feel like you can show up as you are.
Most clients begin with weekly sessions, especially early in treatment, as this helps build momentum and consistency. Over time, we may adjust frequency based on your goals, progress, and needs.
The length of therapy varies for each person. Some clients come for short-term support around a specific issue, while others engage in longer-term work. We'll regularly check in on your goals and what feels most helpful for you.
Ending therapy is a collaborative process. We'll talk about it together as you start feeling more confident, supported, and equipped with tools outside of sessions. I don't believe in abrupt endings — we'll plan closure in a way that feels intentional and supportive.
Yes. All sessions are offered via secure telehealth for clients located in Utah.
Yes. When clinically appropriate, I provide diagnoses for insurance purposes and treatment planning.
Because I am in-network with insurance, I am required to provide a preliminary diagnosis during our first session when applicable. We will discuss this together, and I will always take time to explain what it means in a clear and non-stigmatizing way.
I also encourage clients to contact their insurance provider ahead of time to better understand their coverage, benefits, and potential out-of-pocket costs, as this can vary depending on the plan.
