My clients are thoughtful, high-functioning individuals struggling with OCD—intrusive thoughts, doubt, and relentless overthinking. They often feel stuck trying to “figure things out” or get certainty. Using I-CBT, I help them understand how OCD works, step out of mental loops, and regain trust in themselves so they can move forward with clarity and confidence.

It’s easy in life to lose ourselves, to feel overwhelmed and stuck. Issues that arise from work, family, environment and even our inner self can leave people feeling angry, sad, frustrated or even numb. Sometimes people repeat patterns and behaviors that they know aren’t helpful, but then get stuck as they are unsure of how to change or even begin the process to heal.

You feel things deeply and are highly perceptive of other people’s emotions. You notice when someone’s mood shifts, worry when someone seems upset, and give others a lot of compassion. But with your own emotions, you question yourself, worry you’re too sensitive, or wonder if what you’ve been through was bad enough to call trauma. You cope by managing food or your body, staying chronically busy, planning ahead, or being the person everyone relies on. From the outside, you seem confident and put together. Inside, you truly feel overwhelmed, resentful, hard on yourself, and disconnected from who you are.

My first career as an ICU nurse taught me the power of presence, sitting with patients and families during profoundly vulnerable moments. Today, I bring that same depth of presence to therapy. I approach therapy from a humanistic and trauma-informed perspective, inspired by the belief that each of us already holds the innate wisdom, love, and capacity to heal ourselves and our relationships. I believe you and your body are the experts of your experience. My role is not to direct your life, but to help you find greater alignment with your authentic desires and values. I work with couples, individuals, and healthcare professionals.

You’re tired of being angry. Maybe you’re snapping at your partner, losing patience with your kids, carrying irritation everywhere you go, or saying things you regret once the moment has passed. The people you love may be telling you something needs to change—and part of you knows they’re right. You’ve promised yourself you’ll handle it differently next time, but somehow you keep ending up in the same place. You don’t want anger damaging your relationships or deciding what kind of husband, partner, father, or man you are.

FAQ - About LDS Counseling
What can a Latter-day Saint (LDS) therapist help with?
LDS therapists are licensed mental health professionals who are familiar with the beliefs, values, and cultural context of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Therefore, like other licensed therapists, LDS therapists can help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and family conflict. They may be especially helpful if you want to incorporate the role of family, church participation, prayer, and community expectations into therapy. An LDS therapist may also support you with concerns that intersect with faith, such as questions about identity or belonging, shame, sexuality, marital expectations, parenting, or navigating relationships.

How does being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints affect therapy?
For many Latter-day Saints, faith is closely connected to emotional wellbeing, family life, and decision-making. A therapist who understands Latter-day Saint beliefs and culture may be better able to recognize why church involvement and practices feel central to your life. This shared understanding can help you feel more comfortable and less burdened by the need to explain your religious background. It may also strengthen the therapeutic alliance, which refers to the working relationship between you and your therapist and is tied to positive therapy outcomes. At the same time, you and your therapist do not need to share the same faith to work together effectively. Many therapists who are not Latter-day Saint can still provide culturally responsive care if they approach your beliefs with respect and humility, rather than making assumptions or dismissing the role of faith.

Can an LDS therapist help with marriage and couples counseling?
LDS therapy can include marriage counseling, couples counseling, and premarital counseling. For many couples, these sessions may include discussion of how shared beliefs shape the relationship, such as expectations around marriage, family life, church participation, and parenting. Therapy may also be helpful when partners have different views about faith; for example, one partner may be more active in church than the other, have different beliefs about gender roles or parenting, or be navigating their own questions about faith. Depending on your preferences as a couple, an LDS therapist may incorporate faith-informed reflection alongside other evidence-based relationship tools, such as communication skills, emotional regulation strategies, and conflict-resolution techniques.

How might I inquire about a therapist's experience working with LDS clients?
If faith is important to you in therapy, it can be helpful to ask a prospective therapist whether they have experience working with LDS clients. In initial conversations with potential therapists, you might ask questions such as, “Have you worked with clients who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?” or “How do you incorporate aspects of faith into therapy sessions?” As sessions begin, it can be helpful to notice how the therapist responds to your concerns. A good therapist should respond to your concerns with respect and cultural humility. If you feel dismissed, misunderstood, or find yourself having to explain your beliefs constantly, it may be worth considering another therapist.

Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of LDS therapists?
The directory of LDS therapists includes therapists who have shared their faith background in their profiles or therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with LDS clients or communities, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation. Not all therapists choose to disclose this information on their profile, and these individuals would not appear in search results for this reason.
