Couples

Couple relationships are the source of tremendous comfort and joy, but also have the potential to be exquisitely painful and challenging. Pair bonding is part of what makes us human and we have evolved to seek out and attach to a partner. Modern life puts extraordinary strains on our couple relationships and struggles are inevitable. I approach couple work from an attachment perspective and believe that finding a balance between closeness and independence is vital for a healthy partnership. I have found through experience that longer sessions spaced less frequently tend to yield more productive sessions, so I typically offer 2-hour couple therapy sessions on a biweekly basis. I am currently in the process of certifying as an EFT (emotionally focused therapy) couple therapist.

Mormons

I specialize in working with members or former members of the LDS church to address issues such as faith transitions, mixed-faith marital challenges, crises of faith, being LGBTQ+ in the church, among many others. My background as a Mormon means I have the experience and knowledge necessary to understand your struggles in a deeply intimate way. You won’t need to explain the intricacies of your belief system or try to convey how significant the Church is or has been in your life. My position with respect to the LDS Church does not bear on my clinical work as I respect each individual’s beliefs and personal decisions. I have served on the board of directors of the Mormon Mental Health Association since 2020.

Fees

$180 per 50-minute session

$275 per 90-minute couple therapy session

I reserve a limited number of time slots for a sliding scale fee. The amount of the sliding scale fee is negotiated prior to booking your first session. It is my goal to serve clients regardless of their ability to pay, so please inquire should my standard fee fall outside of your budget.

Fees are paid via the Ivy app which is simple to use and secure.

Scheduling

I offer a free 15-minute consultation prior to booking the first session. After an initial consultation to determine if I am the right therapist to meet your needs, your first session can be scheduled based on my availability.

Availability: Monday & Thursday 8:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. (Eastern time)

Telehealth

At this time I offer sessions exclusively online. The Zoom app is required for online sessions.
