I’m passionate about walking alongside clients who are carrying grief and loss, healing from spiritual abuse, recovering from hurtful relationships, or feeling drained by emotional abuse. These experiences often leave us feeling anxious, heavy, or disconnected from ourselves and others. Choosing to begin therapy is an act of courage, often made when life feels stuck, overwhelming, or painful. My hope is to offer you a safe, supportive space where you can bring your whole self — your questions, your heartbreak, your hopes — and begin to reconnect with your inner strength and wisdom.

You’re used to being the capable one. The dependable one. The one who keeps going even when you’re exhausted.
On the outside, your life may look steady. But internally, you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that trace back to earlier wounds. Maybe you’ve experienced trauma that still lives in your body. Maybe a major life transition: a loss, a faith transition, a relationship change that has shaken your sense of stability. Or maybe burnout has slowly eroded your energy and sense of self.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and you’re not broken.

Are you feeling disconnected from your partner, alone and lonely in what should be your most nourishing relationship? Perhaps your relationship has been reduced to little more than shouted insults or icy silences, and you wonder how it happened. As humans, we are hardwired to connect with others, and when our primary relationships are struggling, we can lose our sense of wholeness. Let me help you rediscover the joy of being a couple, with each partner feeling fully heard, appreciated, and cherished. I have a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy, with post-graduate training in all three levels of the Gottman Method.

Each person has a story. Every story is valuable. Some stories are told in public with pride and fanfare, and others are held in private and sometimes never told. They affect what makes you who you are, or who you want to become. Sometimes difficulties, trauma, or setbacks that you have experienced in life have taught you to see the world or react to the world in a certain way. I believe that it’s possible to reframe that thinking over time and become a person that is truly healthy and happy. I love to see where people are in their story and help them set goals to get to where they want, become their best self, and find their light.

In today’s world there is a great deal of pressure to be perfect. Because of this, it is sometimes easy to feel as if we are failing miserably while everyone else has life pulled together.

With a deep and heartfelt compassion for those I serve, my aim is to help create an environment in which healing and insight can take place. Oftentimes the hardest first step is to reach out for help. Whether you are looking for extra support during a challenging time or wanting a change, I’d love to support you along the way.

I believe that everyone experiences stress, trauma, crisis, grief, sadness, anger and frustration at some point. We all handle these experiences and emotions differently and sometimes we may not know how to find our way back to happiness and wholeness. None of us are perfect and it’s ok to ask for help.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work together effectively, but, especially for those whose concerns relate to their religion or cultural background, a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond, even if they do not have an extensive history with or understanding of their client’s background before therapy begins.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Church of Christ/Latter Day Saints values?
Each individual brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of therapeutic modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition such as LDS that strongly influences the conduct of everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process.
Why might someone feel comfortable with an LDS-attuned therapist?
While qualifications and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic effectiveness. It is wise to find a therapist who is responsive to your questions and concerns and with whom you feel you can establish a rapport. A therapist who is sensitive to LDS values and beliefs and the role they play in the lives of Church members can offer Mormon clients a welcome sense of safety, assurance that their community and culture will be understood, and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, all of which support the therapeutic process.
How do I recognize a good LDS therapist?
LDS therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Mormon principles and values. They have an understanding of the culture and the important role the Church plays in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of emotional difficulties those raised in the faith can be prone to. Like all effective therapists, a good LDS therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of everyday life.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Mormon/LDS therapists?
The directory of LDS therapists includes therapists who have shared their cultural background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information; these individuals would not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with LDS clients and/or communities, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
