New process for scheduling an intake appointment:

This year, the University Counseling Center initiated a new process. Students will call the Counseling Center at 801-581-6826 to schedule an “Initial Consultation (IC)” appointment. Remember to ask for “embedded counseling for College of Engineering” when requesting your IC appointment. After the IC appointment, you will be assigned to me, and we can schedule our intake meeting.

In-person appointments are available Monday to Wednesday

My office is at WEB 1707. I am available for in-person meetings from Monday to Wednesday. Virtual appointments are still available if preferred. If you are uncertain whether counseling could be helpful for you or just need a brief discussion, you can email me to schedule a single session appointment every Monday at 1:30 pm and Tuesday at 11 am.

And if you are in crisis and need to speak with someone immediately:

The University Counseling Center is available from 8 am to 6 pm Monday to Thursday and Friday from 8 am to 5 pm. Call 801-581-6826 to speak with a crisis counselor.
Call 988 for after-hour crisis help and support.
