I believe your treatment needs to be as unique as you are! To guide our work, I use your intuitive sense about what you need from therapy, and an individualized combination of tools that work best for you. The main modalities I use are EMDR, IFS (Internal Family Systems, or 'Parts Work'), art therapy, mindfulness, and somatic tools. I also have additional training working with children, and generally use play therapy and sandtray therapy with them. My trained therapy dog Pippin (hypoallergenic) attends sessions as well! In my spare time you can find me mountain biking, snowboarding, doing yoga, or following creative pursuits.

I am LGBTQ+ friendly and am passionate about helping children, adolescents, young adults, couples, and families that need help to overcome the challenges they face.
Throughout our lives we all face storms of many kinds. Often, we don’t even realize we’re in a storm or that the storm is over. My role as your therapist is help you travel through those storms and come out the other side different than who you were before. I believe that everyone is capable of change and healing, and my approach to therapy stems from that belief. I like to work from several approaches while using a variety of evidence-based modalities to fit your specific needs.

Disclaimer: I am licensed in four states, therefore I'm unable to see everyone in person. I reside in Utah and consequently, I see others using telehealth. Even though I see people online, a connection is still possible. Try it, it may surprise you! Sometimes life is messy; it can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate on your own. That's why I do what I do! In a caring and compassionate way, I help you identify and overcome barriers to your happiness and well-being. Working together, we can explore effective ways to manage the complexities of life and develop coping strategies to better enable you to "enjoy the journey."
