I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Utah. I love working with clients that come from different cultural backgrounds and clients who face adversity. I am passionate about providing culturally competent & collaborative services. I am also passionate about diminishing the stigma surrounding mental health issues and services within my community. I have experience working with the marginalized population & have helped my clients work through challenges of depression, anxiety, trauma, discrimination, self esteem, grief, & difficult life transitions. My experience includes working with children/teens,families, & adults.

"Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom."—Viktor Frankl— Change is possible for everyone. We can learn new skill sets for challenging situations. We can look at seemingly hopeless circumstances from another perspective. We can apply our strengths and abilities in new ways. We can gain a feeling of peace from acceptance. I feel honored to join my clients as they accept the quest for change.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. I offer a custom approach for each of my clients. I begin discovering where you are now, the challenges you are facing and create a plan to help you move forward. Helping people is my passion! Contact me today for a free consultation and we’ll get started on your journey together!

I enjoy working with clients with a variety of backgrounds, life circumstances, and struggles. I especially enjoy working with those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, grief and loss, addiction, and trauma related issues. Often times, these clients need to be heard. They need to be reminded that they have a plethora of internal strengths. They need coping skills and insights to get through their challenges and be stronger and healthier. I appreciate clients who come into therapy knowing that it is often a tough and uncertain road, but keep going despite setbacks, challenges, and struggles along the way.

Our office focuses on: Empower, Hope, Resolve. Life offers many challenges and when things get overwhelming, reaching out for help is the first step. You will find the help you are searching for in our office. I have worked with mental health issues for several years and have successfully helped children, adolescents and adults work through their issues. I have experience with postpartum depression, domestic violence, depression, anxiety, abuse, addictions and many other mental health diagnoses. I also specialize in marriage, family and relationship counseling.

I am passionate about helping others strive to overcome whatever challenges or struggles that they may face in life. I love working with adults, couples, children, and teens in helping them to navigate these struggles. I believe that every person is an individual and has a need to be seen, be heard, and feel connected to others. I use techniques that are grounded in evidence-based interventions such as solution focused, DBT, and ACT, ART (accelerated resolution therapy) all while creating a space of love, empathy, and compassion that will allow you to feel heard and respected.

There is nothing more powerful than trusting yourself, believing that you can handle the bumps and valleys of life. I believe every single one of us has this resilience inside of us and sometimes we just need some gentleness, play, and connection in our mind and body to get back there. I will sit, stand, and play next to you in these hard feelings and I will do my best to bring authenticity and courage to the room together as you learn to trust and love yourself wholeheartedly.

I believe that mental health is an integral part of our wellbeing and should be attended to like one's own physical health. The therapeutic modalities I have experience in are trauma-focused and person-centered. I enjoy supporting children ages 6 to 18 years old to improve their mental health and heal psychological wounds.

The strength and courage it takes to be able to share our experiences is a beautiful and sacred part of humanity. As a trauma therapist, my ultimate goal and passion is to help individuals express, embrace and empower their true authentic selves. When we can live honoring our true selves, we create meaning and find purpose in what we aspire to achieve in life. This empowers us to take control of our lives, and by working on our trauma, we have the opportunity to break free from shame, guilt, fear or resistance by embracing our true selves.

I believe that therapy is a positive and empowering journey; when traveled together anything is surmountable and healing is possible. I also believe that animals can play an important role in calming an anxious client, allowing a client to experience safe touch and giving a client unconditional love and acceptance. I am passionate about helping teens, adults and couples of all ages through traumatic events, relationship issues, reducing anxiety and creating emotional health.
