Sex and intimacy are at the core of human experience. When things are going well, sex may feel easy and natural but when challenges arise it may feel strained and may become a source of pain and frustration. As a trained sex therapist I am able to help with a variety of sexual concerns such as: abuse, affairs, communication problems, couples counseling, delayed ejaculation, desire, erectile difficulties, fetishes, gender identity/gender care, gay/lesbian issues, infidelity, libido, no sex/low sex relationships, orgasm difficulties, painful intercourse, pelvic pain, premature ejaculation, religious values conflicts, sex addiction/out of control sexual behavior.

Need therapy, but can't afford the normal rates? I have fantastic rates! Are you struggling to enjoy anything? You want to enjoy life, but you just can't. Is your sense of self being trampled by expectations or stress? You want to live more purposefully. Does anxiety or depression plague your waking hours and restless nights? You crave a sense of calmness and yearn for skills to cope with daily challenges. Starting therapy is a solid 1st step in achieving the change you desire. I can help you develop coping skills and gently guide you in identifying your strengths, struggles, & thinking errors. I can guide you to find hope again.

We all have stress...question is: “how do you cope?” Good news: there are many tried and true evidence-based approaches to help you get better and do better…no matter what combination of troubles! After losing my son-in-law to addiction and self harm, I decided to get a masters in mental health, and learn all I could…to treat the whole person - emotionally, spiritually, and physically. It’s called integrated recovery. We are each uniquely complex and layered; so are our challenges. I wish to give you practical tools to navigate life’s challenges and to rise - learning to connect with others and embodying your best self.

I believe the story you tell yourself about yourself and your relationships is far more meaningful and descriptive than a diagnosis or other label that may have been placed on you. My goal is to assist you in gaining clarity about that story, who you are and where you are in life – your aspirations, talents, skills, obligations, and needs – so you can move confidently into the future, staying connected to those you love and the things that bring you joy. Don’t be a victim of fear, insecurity, or disappointment – harness your natural abilities, virtues, and powers to be the hero of your life.

The mind is the most powerful tool we have in this life. It determines everything we think and do. Within our mind is our "emotional blueprint" or the platform/lens to which we view our life and act in it. Our emotional blueprint is created and designed from the time we are born to now. Some of our emotional blueprints have been severely altered negatively at no fault of our own due to early or recent traumatic experiences or ill patterns developed since childhood. Unless we are able to identify those patterns and the wiring of our emotional blueprint, progress is limited and we find ourselves back to self defeating patterns.

Welcome to Relational Spaces! You’re here because you see something in me that you’re hoping will understand something in you. You want change in your life & in a space where connection matters most. It might be in yourself, your family or your friend groups. You might be having struggles at school or at work. You may see challenges in your community that are making you question if you belong. There may be challenges you haven’t been able to wrap your brain around and you need a good ear and another set of eyes.

Feeling stuck? Are you to the point where you greet each new day with, "Ugh. I don't know if I can take this anymore!!!"? You may be grappling with depression, anxiety, hopelessness, or simply feeling overwhelmed with no relief in sight. Well, what if there were a way to change your story from, "I just want this to go away," to "I can live with the hand I'm dealt, AND have the life I want at the same time." Are you ready to feel hopeful, get unstuck and start living life on your terms?

I am a Utah Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over six years of clinical experience in working with adults and adolescents. I specializes in working through trauma, addiction, anxiety and depression or people that are just feeling stuck. I most recently have worked as a clinician at The Haven Retreat, a program for female survivors of childhood sexual abuse. I believe in client-centered therapy and rely heavily on understanding your strengths and needs. Life isn't easy and we all have our own difficult experiences, which is why beginning where you are at is extremely important to me.

I believe each of us is on our own healing journey, unique to each and every one of us. I work with individuals 18 + who struggle with understanding their trauma, substance use patterns, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and life changes, taking a Harm Reduction approach to help you better understand yourself. We’ll work collaboratively to find an approach that will help you find your inner peace. My trained therapy dog, Bindi, may join us for our sessions to help us in your therapeutic process.

I cannot promise you that your trauma will magically be lifted off your shoulders after our first meeting… But what I can promise you, is that you have a strength within you that you are not seeing right now. While some of those challenges might never go away completely, they do not have to define who you are. You can learn to live with them and live a happy life full of joy.
