As a therapist, I consider myself a guide who's purpose is to provide a nonjudgmental, listening ear, help broaden my client's perspective, and assist them with seeing their potential for growth. We would work collaboratively to help you get to the next step towards your goals. We will process difficult feelings, find power from your experiences, heal from traumatic events, evaluate relationships and their impact, and make changes in your life. There are times in life where we feel powerless, and here we can help you rediscover your power as well as increase the power you have over your own life.

Most of my clients are carrying something that doesn't have a clean name. A loss that won't resolve. A body in chronic pain. A life that looks fine from the outside but somehow feels hollow underneath. An experience — psychedelic or otherwise — that cracked something open. A faith they outgrew and a self still locating itself on the other side.
They think deeply about their own lives and have often thought their way into a corner. Together, we come back into contact with what's actually happening — in the body, in relationships, in the present-moment experiences.

On the surface, you do it all: you keep up with coursework, a demanding job, or a million people in your life who each need something different. But internally, you're exhausted, replaying conversations, second-guessing yourself, trying to do everything for everyone but yourself. You hold yourself to a standard you'd never expect from anyone else.
I work with college students, graduate students, and medical professionals dealing with anxiety, ADHD, burnout, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and trauma. If you're in a high-pressure environment where slowing down feels like falling behind... that's where I'm here to help.

Love is to been seen and heard, trauma is the opposite. I graduated in Counseling from the Townsend Institute at Concordia University in Irvine, California. I have lived, worked and volunteered internationally and in the western U.S. giving me a strong multicultural competence. I've worked as a therapist in school settings and private practice. I see clients 12+ years of age and older. I utilize a bio-psycho-social-spiritual model in my approaches. My passion is to help people in any way I can using evidence-based practices for clients who truly seek transformation from the inside out.

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.
