Questions

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.

Do you take insurance?
Yes — I currently accept Aetna insurance through Alma. Alma is a platform that helps therapists work with insurance and simplifies the billing process.

If you have a different insurance provider, I’m considered an out-of-network therapist. Many clients are able to get partial reimbursement by submitting a superbill (a detailed receipt I’ll provide) through their insurance portal.

I’ve chosen to stay out-of-network with most plans so I can:

• Offer more flexible, personalized care

• Protect your privacy

• Avoid surprise bills or insurance restrictions

If you have questions about how to use insurance or get reimbursed, I’m happy to help.

At this time, I don’t have any sliding scale spots available. I understand therapy is a meaningful investment, and if cost is a barrier, I’m happy to refer you to other trusted therapists who may offer lower-fee options.

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.

Yes—online therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions. It also offers some added benefits, like no commute, more flexibility with scheduling, and the comfort of meeting from your own space. You’d be surprised how real and connected virtual sessions can feel—when the space is supportive and grounded, the work is just as meaningful.

If you’re interested in EMDR, that’s available virtually as well. Online EMDR can be just as effective as in-person, and we’ll work together to make sure the setup supports your needs and comfort throughout the process.

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—absolutely. You don’t need to be deconstructing or leaving your faith to work with me. I support clients with a wide range of experiences, including those who are still active in their religious communities but navigating pain, questions, or inner conflict related to their beliefs or experiences.

Yes—absolutely. While I specialize in religious trauma and faith deconstruction, many of the themes that come up in that work—like people-pleasing, perfectionism, self-doubt, difficulty trusting yourself, navigating complex relationships, or processing grief—are incredibly common, even outside of a religious context.

I have experience working with a wide range of clients and life experiences. You don’t need to have religious trauma to benefit from therapy with me. If you’re drawn to my approach and feel like we might be a good fit, you’re more than welcome here.

Not at all. Having spent the majority of my life in religion, I understand how meaningful faith can be—whether it brings comfort, community, or a sense of purpose. I’m not against religion, but I am against harm, abuse, control, and shame—especially when they come from spiritual or religious environments. I work with many people who are processing painful experiences from high-control or fundamentalist settings, and my goal is to offer a space that feels safe, supportive, and free of judgment, wherever you are in your journey.

I chose a space theme for my website because it reflects what healing from religious trauma and faith deconstruction can often feel like—vast, uncertain, and full of possibility. Questioning long-held beliefs can be disorienting, especially when those beliefs once offered a sense of identity, purpose, or belonging. Space holds both the fear of the unknown and the curiosity to explore it, offering room to move forward without needing all the answers.

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 an image that speaks to the beauty, uncertainty, and freedom of stepping into something new.
