My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-based, and grounded in evidence-based methods that help couples learn to listen, speak, and respond to each other differently.
While I am also currently taking individual clients as well, I am especially passionate about helping couples navigate relational distress. So many partners feel stuck in cycles of misunderstanding, distance, or resentment but don’t know how to break out of them. You can heal patterns instead of repeating them.

I help people feel understood, especially when they struggle to understand themselves or feel unseen by others. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, feel validated, and begin to reconnect with yourself.

I love helping couples reignite their relationships.
You’re not failing God, and you’re not broken. When every thought becomes a moral test, every mistake feels devastating, or forgiveness never lasts, anxiety may be running your faith. In therapy, you’ll learn to recognize scrupulosity, religious OCD, perfectionism, and fear-based patterns without abandoning your values. The goal is not less faith. It is more peace, freedom, joy and trust in yourself.

When we feel trapped in unhealthy patterns, painful relationships, or overwhelming circumstances, we lose hope that things can change. In this hopelessness we may struggle in asking for help. Everyone encounters pain, feelings of failure, and hardships, but that doesn't mean we need to suffer. Our work will aim at building awareness of emotions and thoughts, reprocessing past traumas, exploring how we connect and/or disconnect from them, and change the patterns that entrench us. My hope is to help you access healing and the development of your inner self.

I often focus on relational work with couples.
I hope to introduce myself to you here in a way that seems genuine rather than polished. I enjoy helping people navigate the complexities of relationships as well as the loss of relationships. I’m drawn to sitting with people in these very human, often uncomfortable moments.
As a therapist, my goal is to offer you a non-judgmental space to process, feel seen, and create change. In my process as a therapist, change means both compassion and accountability. I value presenting therapy in an approachable, human-focused way. If you’re looking for a therapist who seems human rather than clinical, I may be a good fit.

I believe there is a space for everyone in therapy. No matter what challenge you are facing, you have a place in counseling. I am a supporter of awareness, acceptance, and different perceptions. There is much power in those tools and understanding them. Bring who you are to therapy, and I will help in every way possible to get you to a place of healing, self-love, and the discovery of the power of mental health. There is something to be said about struggle and what it does to a person, what it makes a person. With the correct tools, struggle does not have to define you.

I have over 15 years of experience working with individuals and couples who are seeking deeper emotional intimacy and connection and am trained in multiple couples therapy modalities.
We often have conflicting feelings within ourselves that create problems in our personal lives, relationships, and how we view ourselves. My goal is to help you identify and explore these core emotions, thoughts, and perceptions on a deeper level, develop coping mechanisms and communication skills, and find a greater sense of purpose and personal worth. I have a relationship-focused, empathetic approach, and believe therapy is meant to be a place of non-judgment, openness, and acceptance. I use multiple modalities including IFS, mindfulness, emotion-focused, and somatic approaches.

Experiential and somatic marriage and family therapy sessions.
I'm as comfortable working with a client feeling mildly stuck as one who is in unrelenting crisis. I have many years of experience working with clients with complex trauma, grief, BPD, depression, anxiety, compulsive behaviors, existential and faith struggles, and life changes. Clients that I work with find clarity regarding their deepest values and confidence in living in the present. They heal and grow.
I believe in the ability for humans to transform and change and to make healthy change in the world around them. I believe deep acceptance and self-compassion are very important to these processes.

It can be confusing to understand why you may feel a certain way, especially when feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Oftentimes symptoms of anxiety, trauma, and traits of living with ADHD or Autism can overlap, making it difficult to know how to move forward from the hurt you're experiencing. Feelings of low self-worth and shame creep in and can oftentimes lead to problems in life and relationships. Whether you are seeking relief from ongoing stress, hurt, trauma, anxiety, or you just need extra support through a difficult time, my goal is for you to feel empowered and find the quality of life you are looking for.

I am licensed in Utah and hold an additional trauma certification (ART) and Gottman Method Couples Therapy certification.
You’ve worked hard to create professional success. You’ve built a life that looks good on paper. You’ve checked the boxes. You genuinely like the pieces of your life. And yet sometimes you feel lonely, worn down, burned out, or disconnected from yourself and the people around you.
The pieces are all there, but somehow it’s not working. Having a big life and a big job sometimes feels like big success… and sometimes it just feels like too much to handle. I’ve been there, too. Sometimes it really helps to have somebody who has walked this road ready to walk with you.
