I start with a free consultation lasting about 30 minutes to discuss your concerns and goals. I may invite you to consider working together or suggest referral options that better fit your needs. If my services are a good fit, the next step is an intake session, usually about 90–120 minutes.

Call (801) 695-4730 or use my Psychology Today contact form to arrange a real consultation. The calendar on this website remains a clearly labeled preview.

I provide assessment and therapy for adults age 18 and older, including older adults. I serve the Ogden and Salt Lake City areas along the Wasatch Front. My confirmed office is in Ogden, with telehealth available when clinically appropriate and permitted.

No referral is needed to contact me or schedule an evaluation. Insurance requirements can differ, including requirements for coverage or out-of-network reimbursement. Please check with your insurer about your specific benefits, referral requirements, and any prior authorization.

Yes. I offer evening and weekend appointments. Please contact me to discuss current availability and an appointment time that works for you.

Your support can make a meaningful difference. To respect an adult client’s privacy and choices, I communicate directly with the person seeking care and ask them to contact me about scheduling. You can help by sharing my contact information or supporting them as they reach out.

NAMI offers guidance on having a caring conversation about getting help.

A psychological assessment explores emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and personality functioning. A neuropsychological assessment takes a more detailed look at cognitive skills—such as attention, learning, memory, and executive functioning—and their relationship to brain health and everyday life. I recommend the approach that fits your questions.

I consider your developmental history, current concerns, functioning across settings, and standardized assessment findings. I also consider other factors that can affect attention, such as mood, anxiety, sleep, or medical concerns. The assessment is individualized; a screening checklist alone does not establish the diagnosis.

Yes. I offer adult autism assessments using a neurodiversity-affirming approach. I consider developmental history, communication, social functioning, sensory experiences, and related concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, OCD, and mood symptoms. The process includes intake, testing, and feedback.

Depending on the referral question, I evaluate concerns related to ADHD, autism, learning, mood, anxiety, trauma, personality, and cognitive functioning. Neuropsychological testing may also address concerns following brain injury or other neurological or medical conditions. The service pages describe the areas I consider; I tailor the scope to each person.

My evaluations typically involve three appointments: an intake of about 90–120 minutes, a testing session of about 3–5 hours, and a feedback session of about 50 minutes. The full process generally takes place over several weeks so I can score, analyze, and interpret the results. Time can vary with the questions and complexity of the evaluation.

Yes. You will receive a copy of your completed evaluation report. In most circumstances, it is important for you to have access to your evaluation and to be able to share it with healthcare providers, a school, an employer, or others involved in supporting you. With your written authorization, I can also send a copy to other professionals or organizations as appropriate.

Yes. If an evaluation with me supports a need for accommodations, I can complete appropriate documentation related to school, work, or testing. Recommendations are based on the findings, your documented functional needs, and the clinical information available.

During feedback, I explain how the results may support your request. The school, employer, testing organization, or other institution decides whether to grant accommodations. Please discuss any disability-related paperwork or specific documentation requirements with me before the evaluation. Learn about testing for accommodations.

You are more than a diagnosis. I use diagnoses, when appropriate, as a framework for understanding strengths, difficulties, and useful supports. A diagnosis can also help explain needs or provide access to services. I welcome questions about labels and will discuss what the findings mean—and what they do not mean—for you.

I welcome your observations and questions. Noticing patterns in your experience can be an important starting point. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming and respectful of different processing styles. I use thorough interviews and standardized testing to consider the full picture; the findings may support your initial idea or suggest a different explanation.

I do not provide child-custody or other court-related evaluations, or specialized evaluations for substance use, criminal proceedings, or psychosexual concerns. These needs are generally best addressed by a psychologist with the relevant specialty, such as forensic assessment. I can help with referrals to professionals whose expertise fits your situation.

Yes. I provide individual therapy for adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, and challenges related to life changes or medical conditions. I draw on CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based strategies, tailoring treatment to your needs and goals. Learn more about therapy for everyday life.

Intake and feedback sessions can often take place through telehealth if you prefer. Some testing can be conducted remotely, but testing often requires an in-person appointment because certain paper-and-pencil or computerized measures are not appropriate for remote administration. I discuss the format and suitability of each part of your evaluation during consultation.

Yes, in some circumstances. In addition to my Utah license, I am authorized to provide certain psychological services through PSYPACT to clients physically located in participating states, subject to applicable requirements. See the official PSYPACT map.

Not every assessment can be completed through telehealth. Suitability depends on the referral question, the testing measures, and your circumstances. Please contact me for a consultation so I can discuss appropriate options with you.

With your consent, I coordinate with other members of your healthcare team when appropriate. This may include phone conversations, sharing records or evaluation findings, or meetings. I encourage you to take an active role in this process so your psychological and physical healthcare can support each other.

I accept private-pay clients and am in network with Huntsman Mental Health Institute Behavioral Health Network (HMHI-BHN) and Select Health Value, Med, Share, Care, and Community Care.

For plans where I am out of network, I can provide a superbill—a detailed receipt you can submit to your insurer for potential reimbursement. Reimbursement is not guaranteed. Please confirm your specific plan, covered services, deductible, and authorization requirements before beginning care.

My professional fee is $200 per hour. Evaluations also include a $150 materials fee. The total depends on the scope and professional time involved. The initial consultation is free and usually lasts about 30 minutes. I discuss expected charges before services begin.

Before the evaluation begins, I provide a Good Faith Estimate based on the information available during consultation. It includes the anticipated professional time and the $150 materials fee.

Actual time may vary with the complexity of your questions and the amount of testing needed. If substantially more time appears necessary, I will discuss it with you before proceeding with additional services whenever possible. My goal is to give you clear information so you can make an informed decision.

If you do not have insurance or are not using it for care, you generally have a right to a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges for non-emergency services. You may request one before scheduling. Keep a copy.

If a bill from a provider is at least $400 more than that provider’s estimate, you may qualify for the federal patient–provider dispute process. A dispute generally must be started within 120 calendar days of the initial bill. Read my Good Faith Estimate notice and CMS guidance for details.

I protect clinical information in accordance with applicable privacy requirements and provide informed consent and clinical privacy/HIPAA documents during intake. Those documents explain confidentiality and its limits, including disclosures or reporting required by law.

I do not use AI to record sessions. I use secure videoconferencing and secure messaging for clinical care. Current clients should use their established client portal for clinical messages; contact me if you need help accessing it. Please avoid sending health information through initial scheduling messages.
