I specialize in Internal Family Systems and am A
I love helping a person become their best version of themselves. Most people seeking counseling feel defeated. My strategies help them find hope and to develop new approaches to help them become powerful people with tangible and deep changes in how they feel and in their beliefs about themselves so that they are living lives of joy and fulfillment. Ideally a client is ready to try new approaches to their life, is ready to get out of the constant cycle of overthinking, and is ready to take a journey deep inside where they can heal emotionally and physically, and emerge ready to truly LIVE.

As a social work student at Capella University with a background in Special Education, I bring a deeply empathetic and patient-centered approach to mental health. I believe that therapy isn't just about managing symptoms, it’s about discovering your inherent strengths and building a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. I utilize an integrative approach tailored to your specific needs. Whether we are navigating a season of life transition or working through deeper patterns, I draw from various modalities.

I also use a working knowledge of IFS and somatic experiencing which are included in most all treatment plans.
I work with individuals who have faced trauma, abuse, and/or neglect throughout their lives. They are people who may feel chronic emptiness, internal conflict, activated emotions, and have trouble letting things go. They are individuals who also deal with low self-esteem and feelings of defectiveness, shame or guilt. They come to therapy seeking support to process and understand themselves, and to create new patterns and behaviors in their lives. They want to find thriving, capacity and deeper empowerment; looking for support, integrated care, and honesty.

If you’re watching your teenager struggle and aren’t sure how to help, or conversations at home keep turning into conflict, you’re not alone. Many parents I work with feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure what to try next. Therapy becomes a space where both you and your teen can feel heard, respected, and actively involved in the process. Using creative tools and a collaborative approach, I help your family build practical skills, improve communication, and take clear, realistic steps toward meaningful, lasting change together. You will leave sessions with clear next steps and more solid insight of what your teen needs from you.

Experiences can impact individuals differently. Through an authentic therapeutic relationship, my desire is to provide safety for you to be heard, supported, and offered tools to navigate these experiences in a trauma informed approach. I value the importance of providing space and understanding for you to be empowered with your own voice, and tailoring treatment to your specific needs. No experience large or small is insignificant.

These approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy for Trauma (CPT), Internal Family Systems ( IFS), Mindfulness, and Positive Psychology.
I am licensed in both Utah and Virginia. I specialize in women's mental health with the overarching goal of helping women realize their own wholeness. I can help with depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, healthy habit-building, strengths-building, thought and emotion management, and more. I believe that the therapeutic process is most effective when it is collaborative, compassionate, and focuses not just on what seems to be going wrong, but also on what is fundamentally right (e.g., personal strengths).

My work integrates ART ( Accelerated Resolution Therapy) , EFT, IFS, CBT and Sand Tray, to help clients understand attachment patterns, the ego, and limiting parts of self that block growth.
I’m not a “let’s talk about it forever” therapist. I’m here to help you understand what’s actually running the show—and change it. My work is grounded in evidence-based attachment research and a parts-of-self lens. Most of us aren’t stuck because we’re broken—we’re stuck because younger, protective parts learned how to survive, and they’re still calling the shots long after they’re needed. Together, we identify those patterns, understand what they’re protecting, and loosen their grip so you can respond to life with more choice, clarity, and connection. I work well with young adults, women, and couples who want depth without fluff.

Whether you struggle with feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, or hopelessness, therapy can help you discover the most authentic version of yourself and approach the true you with grace and understanding. You deserve a safe space to experience your emotions, process your frustrations, make peace with your trauma, and learn new ways to cope with the highs and lows of being human.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists
What is Internal Family Systems therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sub-personalities, or “families,” within a person, which may be made up of wounded parts and unpleasant emotions like anger and shame. These sub-personalities can come into conflict with each other and with an individual’s core Self, leaving the person feeling detached from positive traits such as the “8 C’s” of confidence, calmness, creativity, clarity, curiosity, courage, compassion, and connectedness. By healing a patient’s wounded parts, a therapist aims to restore balance and bring on positive change.

How does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
An IFS therapist will work with a patient to identify their particular sub-personalities, recognize the emotions powering them, and release them. By doing so, the patient should become more able to address any underlying problems their sub-personalities may have been trying to protect them from. Ultimately, a patient discovers ways to manage internal and external conflicts on their own, through techniques such as relaxation exercises, journaling, and making charts depicting the relationships between their core Self and their distinct parts.

Does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
IFS therapy has been shown to help people address conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears and phobias, trauma, and substance use disorders. Some research has also found that it can help individuals deal with symptoms of physical health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, everyday functioning, depressive feelings, and low self-compassion. There are some conditions for which IFS treatment, specifically discussions of one’s “parts,” may be less appropriate, such as schizophrenia or other states that involve psychosis or paranoia.

How long does Internal Family Systems therapy take?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for IFS therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core concepts of IFS, some patients quickly make progress. While experiences vary, most will find that it is a relatively longer-term therapy, involving months and sometimes years of sessions.
