Have you been to therapy before and felt like you weren't getting much from the experience? Maybe your therapist listened but didn't have much to say. If you'd like a more interactive therapist, I can help. I offer a holistic perspective and alternative therapy approaches focused on how our body can help us heal from trauma. Understanding yourself in depth is an important first step when you're feeling stuck in your relationships or with personal growth. From there, we can work together to figure out what changes you need to make for yourself, developing a path to cultivating meaning in your life and experiencing more joy.
My training is rooted in over a decade spent as a wilderness therapy guide, and my experiences in adventure therapy work. Living in small groups taught me about what it really means to be human. This perspective is beneficial to my client's relationships, developing self-care habits, and understanding how creating meaning guards us from mental health issues.
I think it's important that you understand why I do this work. My family has a lot of intergenerational trauma - war refugees, parental abandonment, sexual trauma, addiction, & suicide. My first step in becoming a therapist was learning how to deal with my own anxiety and depression. I want to share the knowledge I have so that you can help yourself heal.

I've worked in mental health for over 20 years & trained under many other therapists in order to develop a well-rounded skill set. I believe that somatic work is the best way to address trauma, which is why I focus on embodied healing approaches & adventure therapy. I'm licensed in Utah and Idaho.

I believe that the central process of therapy is for the therapist to tell the client what they are thinking and feeling, to honestly convey themselves. The client learns to vulnerably convey themselves to the therapist from the modeling provided by the therapist, and improves their ability to attend to others. This approach can be quite challenging but works to address a wide variety of issues.
