This is a space for you to explore the issues and concern you have in your life and to come to some resolutions and direction.

I have a background as an instructor at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Our sessions can be through whichever method makes you feel most comfortable. I find it helpful to use video sessions for at least some of the sessions, but if you would prefer to only chat that is just fine too. I welcome all clients of the LGBTQ+ community as I am an ally. I work with those in the LGBTQ+ community as well as parents of LGBTQ+ who are struggling. Outside of being a clinician, I am an Ironman Triathlete. I look forward to helping you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 8 years of professional experience and more than 15 years in the helping field. My approach to therapy is warm, direct, relational, and human. I believe healing happens best in spaces that feel safe, authentic, and collaborative; not stiff or overly clinical. I use evidence-based practices such as DBT, CBT, trauma-informed care, and strengths-based approaches. I often use visual tools, metaphors, and real-life examples to help make abstract concepts more understandable and practical. Therapy with me is active and engaged—we don’t just talk about change, we work toward it. My communication style is conversational and supportive, and I value honest dialogue. I aim to meet clients where they are without judgment, while also gently challenging patterns that no longer serve them. I do not believe in minimizing anyone’s pain or comparing suffering—your experience matters exactly as it is. What It’s Like to Work With Me Clients often describe me as: • Warm and approachable • Straightforward but compassionate • Relatable and real • Supportive but not passive • Engaged and collaborative If you’re looking for a therapist who feels human, not robotic—someone who balances professionalism with authenticity—we may be a great fit. That said, if you prefer a very formal, highly structured, or emotionally distant therapy style, I may not be the best match—and that’s okay. Therapy works best when the fit feels right. Who I Help I specialize in working with individuals navigating: • Trauma and complex trauma • Anxiety and depression • Grief and loss • Self-esteem and identity • Relationship challenges • Life transitions • Substance use and recovery • Emotional regulation and stress I also work with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves and want tools—not just talk. My Philosophy I believe healing is not about perfection—it’s about self-understanding, self-compassion, and growth. I value curiosity over judgment, progress over pressure, and connection over performance. You don’t need to have everything figured out to start therapy. You just need a willingness to show up.

As a licensed therapist in Utah, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on helping clients develop self-compassion, overcome challenging life transitions, and build resilient mental health strategies. I focus on addressing a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, social challenges, and personal growth. My therapeutic work emphasizes understanding individual experiences with compassion, particularly around women's mental health, body image, and life purpose exploration. My practice is deeply committed to creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their inner world, develop stronger communication skills, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation. I draw from evidence-based approaches to help individuals move through guilt, shame, and self-doubt toward greater emotional wellness and self-understanding. Through collaborative and personalized therapeutic work, I aim to empower clients to reconnect with their inherent strengths, navigate life's complexities, and develop sustainable strategies for emotional well-being.

For over two decades, I have dedicated my life to the art and science of therapy, committed to helping individuals navigate their personal challenges and achieve meaningful change. My journey began with a deep passion for understanding the human experience, which has since evolved into a multifaceted practice grounded in evidence-based modalities. Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), ART, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Each of these modalities has equipped me to address complex trauma and equip my clients with the tools they need to heal and grow. My extensive experience in trauma-focused therapies has allowed me to create safe spaces where individuals can confront their pasts and build resilience for the future. A significant portion of my work has centered around substance abuse counseling, where I have spent 20 years developing my expertise in both group and individual settings. This work has not only deepened my understanding of addiction but has also reinforced the importance of community and connection in the recovery process. For the past 15 years, I have been on the front lines of crisis intervention, assisting individuals facing some of the most challenging moments of their lives. Together, we create tailored action plans that empower them to forge a path toward healing and stability. My practice is inclusive and diverse, having had the privilege of working with clients ranging from as young as five to adults in their sixties. I find particular joy in working with teenagers, helping them navigate the tumultuous landscape of adolescence, and providing support to women grappling with issues related to body image and weight management. My understanding of eating disorders and compulsive behaviors, including addictions to pornography, allows me to approach these sensitive topics with empathy and expertise. In my work, I strive to foster an environment where clients feel seen, heard, and validated. I believe that every individual’s story is unique, and I am here to walk alongside them as they uncover their strengths and develop strategies for overcoming obstacles. My commitment to ongoing professional development and self-reflection ensures that I remain at the forefront of therapeutic practices, continually enhancing my ability to support those I serve. As I reflect on my journey, I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the healing of others. My work as a therapist is not just a profession; it is a calling that brings me immense fulfillment and purpose. Together, we can embark on a transformative journey toward healing and self-discovery, empowering individuals to reclaim their lives and thrive.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Utah with over seven years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, relationship distress, and unwanted compulsive behaviors. I also work extensively with individuals impacted by addition and betrayal trauma. My approach is grounded in compassion, safety, and curiosity about the “why” behind thoughts, behaviors, and emotional patterns. I believe that awareness paired with intention creates meaningful and lasting change. Much of my work focuses on helping clients understand how trauma shapes the nervous system, relationships, and sense of self, while building tools for emotional regulation, boundaries, and resilience. I draw from evidence-based approaches including CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodrama, lifespan integration, and existential frameworks. Therapy is a collaborative and tailored to your unique goals, strengths, and history. Seeking therapy takes courage. I strive to offer a supportive space where healing, insight, and growth can happen.

Sometimes you just feel worn down. Maybe you’re carrying anxiety, stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break, struggling with addiction, or feeling disconnected from the person you want to be. You might look like you’re holding it together on the outside, but inside it feels heavy. If that’s you, I want to understand your story. I’m not here to judge you or “fix” you. I’m here to listen, help you make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface, and create a space where you can be honest about what you’re thinking and feeling. My style is down-to-earth and collaborative. I draw from cognitive-behavioral strategies, solution-focused approaches, and principles from 12-step recovery. We’ll also work on healthy boundary-setting, affirming your sense of self, and exploring practical ways to feel more empowered and in control of your life. Therapy with me is about helping you reconnect with who you are, what matters to you, and how you want to move forward — not who you think you’re supposed to be.
