You are your own expert and I’m here to guide you. My clients know they can say hard things to me, and I will not turn away. I want you to experience freedom, gain awareness, and find meaning during our time together. As your counselor, I am always in your corner. My clients have learned new ways to cope with, process, and overcome a multitude of issues. I am affirming of poly and alternative lifestyles, LGBTQIA allied, and treat religious abuse especially Christian and LDS. I am particularly familiar working with childhood trauma, anxiety, and women’s issues. I tailor types of expressive and talk therapies to the individual Client.
In addition to being certified in EMDR, I offer DBT and IFS informed therapy. IFS is an evidence-based practice that is more focus on internal work than traditional conversation in session. Incorporating DBT techniques into one’s life often translates to increased self-concept, improved communication, healthier relationships, and a more meaningful existence.
Finding a Counselor that is a good fit can be intimidating. I believe that my job is to create a safe environment wherein you feel accepted, heard, and understood without conditions. You may feel and speak openly, as well as gain tools. Availability Mon-Thu 8am-3pm in-person and online. Leave a voicemail or email to schedule a free 15 minute consultation.

Despite the depth of research and my experience, I am still surprised observing the positive effects EMDR can have! It helps reconnect the mind and body and relieving what seems "stuck." I have used this with Clients from different backgrounds and with varying degrees of trauma/concerns.

People can be concerned that therapy will either be too rigid with homework and psycho-education or that it will just be a venting session that ultimately produces no change. But you and I will work to achieve your goals and check-in on your progress. Your voice matters most in session but I will give feedback. From me you will receive resources and recommendations outside our time together.
