About me

As a licensed therapist in Utah, I bring over two decades of experience supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice centers on creating a compassionate, affirming space for clients navigating diverse experiences—including LGBTQ+ journeys, relationship transitions, workplace dynamics, and personal growth.

I specialize in addressing depression, anxiety, social challenges, and life transitions with a deep commitment to understanding each person's unique story. My approach honors individual experiences, particularly for those dealing with isolation, communication difficulties, shame, and self-acceptance.

My therapeutic work focuses on empowering clients through evidence-based practices, helping them develop resilience, strengthen self-love, and cultivate meaningful connections. I'm particularly passionate about supporting young adults, women, and individuals experiencing significant life changes or emotional challenges.

With expertise in trauma-informed care, I provide a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, heal from past wounds, and develop healthier coping strategies.

Life can be difficult to navigate on our own and sometimes we can all use some help. I am so happy that you have reached out and I look forward to working with you.
