Are you struggling with navigating through life's challenges and seeking a meaningful shift in your worldview? I am a Marriage and Family Therapist since 2004, emphasizing on building healthy relationships. Applying a systems perspective, I aid in understanding how relationships form our life's narrative. Through a change in our thinking about these relationships, we can stop participating in our own suffering, leading to life changes. My expertise lies in Brief Narrative Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, coupled with Logotherapy or Theory of Meaning for individuals.

Do you feel like everyday is a dice roll, and you never win? Have you tried everything you can on your own and nothing seems to get better? You don't have to do it alone. Victor Hugo said, “Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.” I am here to help you overcome your dark night and find peace. Starting, or returning, to counseling can be hard but I am passionate about making the experience feel safe and comforting. There is no threshold of pain or trauma you have to experience to qualify for counseling; your needs and problems matter. My focus is to meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to be.

Change is inevitable. Pain is probable. Suffering is optional. Many of us already have the strength to manage change but need a little help finding the courage and confidence. That is why I take a collaborative, flexible, transformational, dynamic, and strength-based approach to empower clients to face life’s circumstances. I could help equip you with just tools to tackle your personal and professional obstacles or I can work alongside you and through dialogue help you to develop your own tools for long term sustainable strategies and an independent and purposeful life.

I understand that making life changes can feel overwhelming. I want to put you at ease and make this as easy as possible. First, I'd like to get to know each other and build trust. I'll explain a variety of therapies that might be a good match for you; people do best when they chose their own treatment. Next, we'll practice new strategies, based in research, to create the life you want. I'll guide you through a process of change tailored to fit your particular identities and background (e.g., race, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, religious affiliation, US native or non-native, etc.).

What you have come to experience as "normal" doesn't feel normal. You hope there is a way to be happy. Maybe you were before this happened. You've developed coping skills to protect yourself and get through. Sometimes however, the protections have created new problems. You may have become someone you don't recognize: anxious, lethargic, angry, scared, sad, detached, unmotivated, passive, too eager to please. The list goes on. It can be hard to see past the world we're immersed in, gain clear perspectives, and make needed changes without help.

If you’re in chronic pain (physical or emotional), feel left out of life, or find yourself doubting your value or ability, I could be a good fit. My clients find me because they struggle managing pain, illness or fatigue. They often are depressed, anxious & isolate, with insomnia, grief or panic. They can struggle at work, home, socially & in their own headspace & heart. There can be layers of trauma. All of my clients come to me with hope, seeking a higher quality of life. I love my work because I get to see this happen - the models I teach are effective & work. If you want out of this downward spiral, I can teach you how too.

Relationships can be a source of our greatest joy and sometimes our greatest sorrows. Being in positive relationships with others, requires that you have a positive relationship with yourself. Maybe you're feeling depressed, anxious or angry and don’t understand why. Maybe you have negative beliefs about yourself or others that affect your decisions and relationships. Maybe you’ve felt disconnected or in conflict with your significant other, friends, or family. You may be finding yourself in a pattern of having the same conflicts over and over.

We all have times where we just feel a little (or a lot) overwhelmed, even though most of us pretend we don’t (myself included). Or times when we think, “Nothing I’m doing is working with my kid (or husband, wife, sister, bestie, aunt, grandma, well…you get the idea)!” We delude ourselves into thinking everyone else has it all figured out. They don’t. And, it’s okay that you don’t. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, at a loss for how to help your loved one, or just unsure of the next steps in your relationship, therapy can help.

My education and experience in Marriage and Family Therapy have not only honed my skills in helping couples navigate their difficult stages, but also confirmed that I can find things you need to talk about even if you don't realize it. I have a knack for asking the questions you never thought about and helping you see things from a whole new perspective. When you've been spinning your wheels with your partner and both feel hopeless, I'm able to see where you're missing each other and guide you back to the traction you want.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work together effectively, but, especially for those whose concerns relate to their religion or cultural background, a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond, even if they do not have an extensive history with or understanding of their client’s background before therapy begins.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Church of Christ/Latter Day Saints values?
Each individual brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of therapeutic modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition such as LDS that strongly influences the conduct of everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process.
Why might someone feel comfortable with an LDS-attuned therapist?
While qualifications and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic effectiveness. It is wise to find a therapist who is responsive to your questions and concerns and with whom you feel you can establish a rapport. A therapist who is sensitive to LDS values and beliefs and the role they play in the lives of Church members can offer Mormon clients a welcome sense of safety, assurance that their community and culture will be understood, and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, all of which support the therapeutic process.
How do I recognize a good LDS therapist?
LDS therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Mormon principles and values. They have an understanding of the culture and the important role the Church plays in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of emotional difficulties those raised in the faith can be prone to. Like all effective therapists, a good LDS therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of everyday life.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Mormon/LDS therapists?
The directory of LDS therapists includes therapists who have shared their cultural background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information; these individuals would not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with LDS clients and/or communities, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
