The Stepstone Connect mission is to provide ongoing help, hope, and healing to anyone suffering from substance abuse and trauma in a compassionate and secure environment.

Therapy with me is always intended to be a safe space for self-exploration. I encourage vulnerability and authenticity, so that each client can embrace their true self.

Do you have a teen or adolescent who feels like life's challenges are too heavy to carry on their own? Are you seeking to find support for them to find confidence in who they are both inside and out? I believe that with the right tools, everyone can be happy and confident in their mind AND body. Clients I work with are seeking emotional support, healing, and self-discovery. Together, we can create a safe, empowering place where your teen can confront your anxieties, fears, insecurities, trauma, and more. How they feel right now does not have to be their whole story.

I believe in a holistic approach to therapy, and I do my best to ensure that treatment is tailored specifically to each client. As a therapist, I emphasize the therapeutic relationship between the client and therapist, as I believe that this the foundation and key to successful therapy.

My clinical interests include working with teens and young adults, mood disorders, eating disorders, LGBTQ+ topics, and difficulty adjusting to life’s challenges. Additionally, I am very passionate about issues that affect women such as infertility. The most effective therapy is holistic and is a customized therapeutic experience that celebrates each client’s unique perspective and story. I work with clients to support them in reclaiming their life in a way that allows them to honor who they once were and make space for who they want to become.

What does it mean to be perfect? Oftentimes, we tell ourselves that life will be better, we’ll be happier, with the perfect body. I work with clients who are struggling with their body image and the conditions that typically come with it: anxiety, depression, negative body image, and eating disorders. They are doing what they can to love who they are, regardless of what their body looks like, but want support in developing strength, confidence, and resilience.

“The green reed which bends in the wind is stronger than the mighty oak which breaks in a storm.”― Confucius. Have you felt that anxiety, depression, or trauma are stopping you from living the life you want and deserve? I utilize evidence-based practices with clients like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches to develop more adaptive responses and cultivate lasting coping to help clients bend with the winds of life. I'm now accepting clients for both in-person and telehealth therapy, and accept many insurances.

Most of my experience is in women's issues and perinatal mental health. I also specialize in working with adults and adolescents suffering from substance abuse, depression, anxiety and relationship concerns. I use a client centered approach. I believe in empowering clients with tools to better manage mental health and stressful life situations.

People are FASCINATING! Day-to-day we come into contact with people who have weathered unimaginable challenges, people who have been knocked down, people who have been hurt, people who have hurt others; and yet we just move along! I believe there is power in a pause. It has been a great privilege to accompany, witness, and pause with people in their struggles and their efforts to change over the past 10 years. I am adept at working with people who experience depression, anxiety, PTSD, mood disorders, drug abuse, etc. I strive to meet clients where they are and collaboratively develop a plan that feels right for them.

I specialize in teletherapy services for clients in Utah. With over two decades of experience in education and counseling, I'm dedicated to assisting adults in navigating life's challenges with resilience and empowerment.

As a Certified Social Worker, I provide a welcoming space to offer support and coping skills. We know it is not easy to take the initial steps into therapy; however, it shows strength, motivation for change, and compassion for self. I would love to collaborate with you to develop the skills necessary to work through stress, trauma, life obstacles, and changes. I have a passion for helping those with a variety of mental health conditions. I grew up in a military family, and I love working with military service members, veterans, and their families.

Are constant worries about judgment, appearance, actions, and even eating habits consuming you? The negative impact of body image issues, disordered eating, and anxiety might leave you feeling stuck. If you're weary of fleeting results from fad diets and the blame game for low self-esteem, understand it doesn't have to spiral into depression and anxiety. Reclaiming peace with your body and food is achievable, freeing you from their control over your life. Let's embark on a journey where lasting change is possible.

Feeling trapped, unable to navigate your daily life? Are your relationships and confidence suffering? Post-traumatic events can transform even minor decisions into daunting challenges. Clients I assist grapple with despair, anxiety, and loneliness, yearning for a life liberated from these struggles. Amidst it all, happiness may seem unattainable. Yet, resisting only prolongs the struggle. To embrace the life we desire, we must first confront and address our trauma, paving the way for genuine healing and the pursuit of a fulfilling life. I integrate IFS and parts work into helping my clients find hope and healing.

I believe that in life we are happiest when we are experiencing growth, but so often the facts of life interfere with our ability to grow. The messages we receive from the world around us, the messages we tell ourselves, depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, and countless other factors can impede our progress and keep us from happiness. In our work together we will build a relationship that can provide the support needed to get through these challenges. We will work together to explore what might be holding you back and identify the steps you can take to best get you where you want to go.

Has talk-therapy not given you the results you are hoping for? Are you ready to learn the skills to change and find balance within yourself, your life and your relationships? As a frustrated talk-therapy-dropout myself, I have sought for the most evidence-based, effective ways to achieve balance, inner serenity, self-compassion, resilience AND eliminate PTSD, panic, self-harm, suicide ideation and crisis. (Oh, and I have a really cute therapy dog!) If it sounds too good to be true, see my clients reviews for yourself: www.balancedserenitytherapy.com or goo.gl/maps/swnegS55GuP8ri1F6
