My ideal clients are adults carrying trauma and couples stuck in painful cycles. If you’re ready to feel safe in your body, sleep better, and loosen the grip of the past, I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to process distressing memories, without needing to retell every detail. For couples, I blend Gottman tools with EFT/EFCT to calm conflict, rebuild trust, and restore connection. I offer a structured, compassionate approach focused on real change you can feel. In-person in American Fork and via telehealth across Utah. Free 15-minute consult.
I help individuals heal from trauma using ART, a gentle and effective method for processing painful memories. For couples, I use Gottman and EFT to improve communication, rebuild trust, and deepen connection. I offer a supportive space with practical tools to help you feel better and move forward.
I know it takes courage to reach out for help, whether you're carrying the weight of trauma or feeling disconnected in your relationship. You don't have to figure it out alone. I'm here to listen, support, and walk with you through the healing process. When you're ready, I'm ready to help.
