I have been working in the mental health field since 2004, first in wilderness therapy and then in private practice. My specialty is helping clients move on from trauma, build capacity, heal from anxiety and depression and develop a spiritual connection. I am a curious, warm, skilled, and compassionate human who loves being with others in their process. Some of the training that I utilize in my practice: Somatic Experiencing, Somatic Resilience and Regulation, Heart Math, Dynamic Attachment Repatterning, Brainspotting, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am a mother to two boys and I have a passion for wilderness connection.

I can teach meditation, breathing, and other mind and body self-calming mechanisms. I am trained in EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), and have extensively studied transpersonal counseling. I believe that committed, loving presence can help you to digest anything that is a barrier to your growth.

(Licensed in UT and CO) Most people don’t come to counseling just for insight—they come because they want real change they can feel in their daily lives. My approach emphasizes honoring each client’s autonomy and wisdom while working collaboratively to build the skills and resources they need to reach their goals. With this in mind, I focus on helping clients develop practical tools for grounding and resilience, so we can work together on the deeper patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, fear, or unease.

My background before becoming a therapist involved healing modalities for the mind, body and soul. Knowing how powerful working with the whole person can be, I directed my studies to understand how traditional therapy could interact with the brain and body and heal relationships through informed trauma therapy & empathy. I work well with individuals of all ages hoping to address emotional wounding, mental health struggles, sexual abuse, faith transitions and other trauma. I also work with couples who want to collaborate on healing their relationship, addressing wounds, and building communication. My practice is LGBTQIA?2S friendly.

Waitlist for new clients
Sometimes we can feel a bit broken. We all need to reflect and repair at times. You might wish you could feel less reactive in your relationships, or a longing to be more aware, assertive and respectful to yourself. Work may be the never ending stressor that is taking all your energy. Maybe you would like to change your family interactions, or just figure out healthy boundaries. It might be the way you think about and treat yourself that has brought you here. Replaying moments of the past, or the current day over and over as you lose out on much needed sleep. Maybe… you are here looking to find yourself, to finally be okay.

I have been a practicing therapist for two years and have experience working with clients of all ages and genders. I attended school at the University of Nevada, Reno and graduated with my master's degree in social work. Then went on to intern at the VA in Salt Lake City UT, then moved on to do therapy at a private practice in Utah. As a therapist, I love helping my clients explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, looking at the impact they are having on their life.

My clients typically include young adults who are feeling stuck, whether that’s due to anxiety, depression, life transitions, or relationship stress. Many come to my practice feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or unsure how to move forward, even though they’ve been trying hard to manage things on their own. Clients are often looking for more than just symptom relief, they want clarity, stability, and a better understanding of themselves. I focus on creating a space that feels both safe and productive. I balance validation with practical tools, helping clients build insight while also making meaningful, real-life changes.

For Families, Teens and Adolescents: Through a strengths-based lens and a systems approach, I work with each family according to their unique needs, goals, challenges, and strengths. Teenager's capacity to work through difficulties while cultivating joy, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and perspective taking, is contingent on the clinician and caregivers ability to hold space for them along the way. I believe that structure, coupled with individualized attention, flexible interventions and examining family dynamics, are key to helping young people develop a strong sense of self and wellbeing in today’s tumultuous world.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.

Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

How much does therapy cost?

The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.

What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?

Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

Are therapy sessions confidential?

Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
