Maybe prayer once brought you peace, but now it brings doubt. You finish praying and immediately wonder if you did it right. You replay the words in your head, searching for mistakes. Did you mean it sincerely enough? Did you miss something? What if you’ve sinned? So you pray again. And again. It feels endless. The more you chase certainty, the less certain you become. Many people with scrupulosity OCD confess the same things repeatedly, always searching for forgiveness. In the hardest moments, you may even choose to avoid the very faith practices that once grounded you.

My ideal client is someone who feels weighed down by anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or memories they can’t seem to escape. They may appear high-functioning on the outside but feel constantly on edge or stuck in self-doubt inside. What they want most is relief — to quiet their mind, feel more in control, and reconnect with a sense of calm and purpose. They’re motivated to understand themselves better, heal from the past, and learn tools that help them truly move forward rather than just cope.

Clients coming from a faith background of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ( Mormon) find it helpful to work with someone who understands LDS teachings and culture.
My clients are responsible people (maybe too responsible!) who are looking for relief and balance. Self-help books and tips only take them so far, and somehow there's a "root problem" that still seems evasive. They want to thrive, not just survive, but cognitive approaches are not getting them there. I specialize in helping competent but exhausted people find greater peace through getting to the "root" of their issues so that shifts are lasting.

Therapy for when you’re tired of pretending you’re fine.
You may look like you’re functioning, showing up and getting things done, while feeling anxious, tense, or emotionally guarded underneath. Many people I work with are insightful and capable, yet feel stuck in familiar cycles of overthinking, shutting down, self-criticism, or disconnection in relationships or with themselves when stress hits. Often, they’ve tried therapy before. They understand why they react the way they do, but when emotions rise, insight disappears. Anger, withdrawal, urgency, or self-blame take over, leaving them exhausted and frustrated with themselves.

Struggling with relationships—whether with yourself or others—can feel exhausting and discouraging.

Together, we’ll explore the experiences and past hurts that may be holding you back and discover new ways to cope, communicate, and connect. My goal is to help you feel more confident, more connected in your relationships, and more at peace in your daily life.

You’re capable and used to holding things together, but lately it feels heavier than it should. Maybe you’re exhausted by overthinking, carrying responsibility for everyone else, or managing relationship conflict. On the outside, things look fine. Inside, you know something needs to change.

We'll work together to define the problem and explore how your identities (e.g., race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, gender, etc.) have shaped your experiences. We'll set goals and create a treatment plan that moves you toward a more productive, authentic, values-driven life.

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.
