Shame can make anything feel worse, no matter how bad it already feels. I am an enemy of shame, and we will fight it together. Trauma, Addiction, Bipolar Disorder, and major life changes causes stress. Our strengths connect to our problems, and we can use those strengths to find solutions. Be yourself, after all that is a good thing to be. You can always be open, you will never be judged in our sessions, and all of our work will always be individualized. I now offer Prime For Life Alcohol & Drug classes, required by Utah courts for DUI charges, and can provide a certificate of completion to satisfy the court.

My background is in a Harm Reduction approach, which means finding individualized goals specific to your needs. We will assess those needs together, without a one-size-fits-all program. Modern trauma therapy techniques such as IFS, EMDR, Somatic Techniques, and DBT embrace the belief that personal choice and comfort with treatment is vital to recovery.

In 2014 I began hosting & producing podcast sharing information about mental health and healing on The Broken Brain podcast, a free resource dedicated to sharing understanding of psychology, culture, art, and recovery.

Social Skill class for young people, aged 13-18, been going for about 10 years with many wonderful youth coming through. Most of the kids in the group have been diagnosed with ADHD, Social Anxiety, Panic Disorder, or Autism Spectrum. This isn't required, just mentioned to give an idea of what the group is like. The group uses hands-on activities, games, and role-playing to learn, which works much better for this group of young people. Group members learn skills to practice outside of group, and have fun with friends they form in group as well. Online & In-person attendance are available.
