I offer a free phone consultation as a first step. I find it helpful to connect with you to learn more about what brings you in and what you’re hoping to get out of the process. It’s an opportunity to discuss what you’re looking for, answer your questions, and determine whether my services are a good fit for your needs.

You don’t need to know which type of evaluation you’re looking for before reaching out. During a free phone consultation, we’ll discuss your concerns, what you’re hoping to better understand, and which type of evaluation may be most appropriate. If my services aren’t the best fit, I’ll help you explore other options when possible.

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

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.

I take a comprehensive approach to ADHD assessment, looking at your history, current challenges, and experiences across settings. I also explore whether factors such as anxiety, mood, sleep, or medical concerns may be contributing to your difficulties to help develop a clearer understanding of the full picture.

Yes. I provide adult autism assessments that take a comprehensive, neurodiversity-affirming approach. I consider your developmental history, social and communication patterns, sensory experiences, and related concerns to help clarify whether autism may explain your experiences or whether other factors may be involved.

The process depends on what you’re hoping to understand and the type of evaluation that would be most helpful. An ADHD assessment typically includes a 2–3 hour clinical interview and may be completed in one appointment.

More comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological evaluations generally involve three appointments: an initial interview, a testing session, and a feedback session to review the findings and recommendations. The time required varies depending on the questions being addressed and the complexity of the evaluation.

I’m happy to discuss the anticipated time commitment during a free phone consultation.

You will work directly with me throughout the evaluation process. At some larger assessment centers, different parts of the evaluation may be completed by psychometricians or other clinicians, with the psychologist primarily reviewing the results and preparing the report. In my practice, I personally conduct the clinical interview, administer and interpret the testing, and meet with you to discuss the findings and recommendations.

I find it valuable to be involved in every part of the process, from hearing your concerns and learning about your history to understanding your experiences in the context of the assessment results. This helps me develop a more complete understanding of what brings you in and what the findings may mean for you.

Therapists may recommend an evaluation for several reasons. Depending on their credentials and scope of practice, they may refer you to a psychologist for diagnostic questions that fall outside their area of practice or to gain a clearer understanding of your concerns.

You or your therapist may also wonder whether previous diagnoses still fit your experiences, whether they fully explain your difficulties, or how multiple diagnoses relate to one another. An evaluation can help provide greater clarity.

With your permission, I can communicate with your therapist to discuss relevant findings and recommendations and help inform your ongoing care.

You will generally receive a copy of your completed psychological or neuropsychological evaluation report, unless there is a clinically indicated reason not to provide the report directly to you. In most circumstances, having access to your evaluation allows you to better understand the findings and recommendations and to share the report with healthcare providers, schools, employers, or other professionals involved in your care and support. With your written authorization, I can also provide a copy of the report to other professionals or organizations, as appropriate.

Yes. When supported by the evaluation findings, I can provide documentation and complete appropriate accommodation forms for school, work, standardized testing, or other settings.

The school, employer, testing organization, or other institution makes the final decision about whether accommodations are approved. If you have specific documentation requirements or forms, please discuss them with me before your evaluation.

Sometimes, information you come across online or on social media resonates with your experiences and leads you to wonder whether a particular diagnosis might explain them. You’re welcome to bring these questions to an evaluation. I take a thorough, individualized, and neurodiversity-affirming approach to help clarify whether a diagnosis fits your experiences or whether other factors may be contributing.

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, burnout, trauma, chronic pain, and challenges related to major life changes or medical conditions. My approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based approaches, with treatment tailored to your individual needs and goals.

I offer both in-person and telehealth appointments. Many evaluations can be completed remotely or through a combination of virtual and in-person appointments. Evaluations involving cognitive testing typically require some in-person testing. We’ll discuss your needs during the consultation and determine the best format for your evaluation.

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.

I accept Huntsman Mental Health Institute–Behavioral Health Network (HMHI-BHN) and several Select Health commercial plans. Because coverage varies by plan and service, I recommend confirming your benefits with your insurance provider before scheduling. During a consultation call, I can provide the CPT codes for the services you’re considering so you can verify your coverage. If you’re paying privately, I can also provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your plan.

My private-pay rate is $225 per hour. The total cost of an evaluation varies depending on your needs and the complexity of the questions we’re addressing. During our initial consultation, we’ll discuss the type of evaluation that may be helpful and the anticipated time involved. Before beginning the evaluation, I’ll provide a Good Faith Estimate so you have a clearer understanding of the expected cost.

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.

A Good Faith Estimate (GFE) provides an estimate of the expected cost of your care before services are provided. When you schedule services, you will receive information about the anticipated charges based on the services you are expected to receive.

If you receive a bill that is substantially higher than your Good Faith Estimate, you have certain rights under federal law, including the right to dispute the bill. You can learn more about your rights and the federal dispute-resolution process at
