Addiction and its accompanying issues make life a struggle for both the client and for those who love them. Those in active addiction intuitively know there is a gap between the life they're demonstrating and the possibilities their potential affords - if they could only get out of their own way. My methods promote profound fundamental change: the shedding of self-destructive attributes, the definition of a clear, compelling vision for the future, and the tools clients need to implement strategies that will enable them to become the best possible version of themselves.

I'm a firm believer that mental health care is for everyone, no matter what obstacles you're facing. It's my goal to normalize mental health care for all people. Just as you see a doctor multiple times per year, whether you're ill or not, proactive health care is crucial for a healthy, balanced life; the same goes for your mental health. My ideal client is any human being interested in navigating the rivers of their life, no matter the challenge(s) you're facing. My goal is to help you identify and explore your entire and true self. Together, we'll explore your past/present/future to navigate any/all issues and set realistic goals.

My specialty is working with those struggling from symptoms relating to complex trauma/PTSD, Grief & Loss, self-harm/suicidal ideation, childood abuse/neglect, religious abuse, relationship/marital issues, neurodivergent and life transitions. In addition, if you are are LGBTQ+ or transitioning, I provide gender affirming psychotherapy for transgender and gender nonconforming clients. I can help you navigate the unique challenges/barriers you may be facing in Utah. I will proudly advocate for you and support your emotional well-being.

Everyone has a sense of personal identify. How do you think about yourself? What is important to you? Identities are often imposed or at the very least encouraged by environmental or cultural forces. As a child, were you routinely told, "You can do it!,” or were you more often told; “You can’t do anything right?” The things we hear as children are usually the very things that create our sense of self. Early in life, sense of self is associated with security, protection, and acceptance. If our identity is strongly developed in the early years of life, this helps to protect us against the challenges in life.

Live Well is more than just our name, its our objective. Rediscovering who you are and the potential that lies within you
