As the clinical director of South Point Counseling Services, I have gathered a team of clinicians that are committed to providing outstanding services.

You’re here because being a HUMAN is hard work. You’re beaten down by the pressures of life, the people in it, and the things you have lived through. I get that. You’ve gotten yourself this far, and I know this can be overwhelming. So here’s how I plan to give you the tools to move from surviving to thriving in your badass life. First of all, the only way I know that therapy works is if you trust and connect with your therapist. So I show up in each relationship with authenticity, no bs, and no judgment. Because once you and I make an alliance-building connection, we have unlimited possibilities for producing really powerful work!

I specialize in EMDR therapy, one of the top 5 research-based trauma treatments in the world. With EMDR I've successfully treated trauma, various kinds of anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, body image issues, unhealthy relationship patterns, addictions, phobias, trust issues, and pervasive emotions including grief, anger, guilt, etc. EMDR typically takes about 3-6 sessions to work through any given issue with some clients experiencing tangible relief from symptoms in as little as one session.

Greetings! As a provider who marches to the beat of a slightly different drum, I have been known in some circles as "That Biker Therapist" which was derived from my tendency to be found on the highways and mountain roads of Utah when I am out of the office doing my version of "self-care" and meditation with blacktop and wind therapy. I started out in Corrections and then to Outpatient as I found it to be personally rewarding to help others before or after being in the judicial system. My areas I have spent most of my career working with addiction, trauma and depression/anxiety.

I have 18 years experience with psychotherapy that ranges from substance abuse and interpersonal relationship / couples concerns to serious mental illness. I believe in establishing a strong rapport with clients in order to facilitate true growth and change. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any needs you might have. I dedicate my time to listening, providing guidance, and supporting those I'm fortunate enough to meet.

You deserve to feel seen and live a life of authenticity without the stress and anxiety of being afraid to show others who you are or who you want to be. So often we find ourselves holding back our needs to ensure the needs of others are being met but this pattern leaves many of us feeling lonely and isolated in our relationships. Therapy can be a way to help you achieve the authenticity you are seeking through processing thoughts and feelings that might be getting in your way of showing up for yourself.

Our goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Our Outpatient Services provide services for adults, children, and their families. Our focus is the overall emotional well-being of our clients and respect for their individual needs.

I enjoy helping people discover their strengths and overcome barriers. At Inner Pieces Psychotherapy, I understand that true healing requires a holistic approach. Everyone encounters problems and challenges, but they do not need to determine your identity or future. Overcoming your past is possible and there is hope. I work with people going through a variety of life challenges and pride myself on meeting the unique needs of each person who enters my practice
