Available everywhere in Utah through video conferencing. Many people struggle with feeling different, strange, or like others do not relate to them well. Many people feel like they have to hide who they are and have no place to be themselves. Many new clients worry about being pushed to confront truths and emotions before they are ready. I seek to first get clients ready to change then support them as they lead the way. This goes for the person with depression who needs to reshape their relationships; the person with PTSD facing their painful past; and the gay person grappling with the consequences of coming out or not.

I have developed an in depth program for the neurodiverse focusing on social skills training for teens and adults picking up where ABA leaves off. I have also done a lot of work with adult ADHD. I have years of experience working with borderline personality disorder, bipolar and addiction.

Life is too short to suffer with mental health issues alone. If you are wondering if I would be right for you just give me a call or email to set up free phone consultation.
