Whether you are seeking small changes or searching for big miracles, I have witnessed clients (couples, individuals, adolescents and families) at varying stages of hope be able to improve the quality of their connections and relationships that we all want and need. I utilize a client centered, personalized approach utilizing several different modalities (from CBT, EFT, Solution-Focused, Narrative, Experiential and Gottman Method) to create a safe place for clients to explore their thoughts, beliefs and feelings as they work towards their goals. I feel that it is imperative for clients to feel seen, heard and understood.

I offer what other mental health approaches lack: a focus on spiritual solutions and emotional release. A Course in Miracles explains that "the purpose of psychotherapy is to remove the blocks to truth." The section on psychotherapy also explains there is "no order of difficulty in healing." Spiritual solutions have been my preferred intervention for over thirty years, in clients who deal with addictions, chronic depression, personality disorders and more. I prioritize working with leaders, influencers and practitioners to be more effective with others. My training goes beyond the traditional to soul-level discovery work.

I specialize in Trauma/PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, and Couples Counseling. I don’t believe there is one way to treat everyone…which is why using creativity and tailoring the process to exactly what you need is important. Most therapists tend to fall back on techniques to try to help their clients manage their problems. My approach is very different. My approach is all about treating the root cause of anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. If you want to get rid of a weed you don’t just want to trim the top, you want to pull it out by the roots.

Sometimes, life is unpredictable. Before we know it, we can end up in a hole that appears too big to climb out of. This is particularly the case with our traumatic experiences. Whether it is big or little, traumatic experiences carry with us throughout our lives, creating lasting impressions on who we are and what we are capable of. Luckily, we have developed ways to overcome and climb out of the hole.

Stress, self-doubt, and worry can be difficult enough to manage on our own when things are "normal," but when you add the impact of the recent events our society is dealing with they can seem overwhelming. Whether a teenager or an adult, stress and trauma can make us question who we are and what's important to us. Negative emotions and thoughts get in the way of our relationships with other people and make us feel like we aren't able to be the person we want to be. Therapy can be a wonderful tool to help you make changes which bring more control and confidence in to your life.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to begin to dive deep into your childhood and connect those experiences with what you encounter in your daily life. Taking that first step can be terrifying and my desire is to help guide you through changes to help you get where you want to be in your healing journey. Whether that is learning how to set and hold healthy boundaries, managing overwhelming anxiety, practicing Mindfulness tools or addressing deep wounds that come from trauma, I hope to support you to achieve greater freedom from what is holding you back now.

Unexpected situations and moments sneak upon all of us at some point, leaving us feeling unsettled, yet sometimes those situations threaten to overcome us. They challenge and disrupt our relationships, our lifestyles, and even our core beliefs. We feel as though we are wading through each day - existing - and hoping things will change, but not really knowing where to begin, or if it's even possible. Guess what? As bleak as today is, there is hope. Tomorrow will come, and you can regain control of what your tomorrows will look like.

You're surrounded by people, yet no one really knows you. No one understands what it's like to be you, or even what you really think or feel. It's crowded. Yet you're lonely. You wish someone cared enough to offer more than just a shallow "Hey, how are ya" as they walk on without waiting for a response. Worse still, there are people around you who think they can control you. Limiting you and stifling your choices. You're discouraged and you wonder why even bother to try. Yet, you're here. With a sliver of hope, that someone on this site might understand you enough to offer some true help.

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.
