I have experience working with Mormon faith crises/transitions/expansions, LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy, anxiety, depression, women’s empowerment, grief and bereavement, as well as life transitions and overall adult growth and development.
I incorporate elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with a person-centered approach. I have found that these modalities are congruent with my beliefs about the importance of our environments and identifying patterns in your own story that will empower you with the knowledge and understanding to make the changes you would like to see in your own life.

The idea of going to therapy can be intimidating, and I know many of us often put it off longer than we would like. I am so happy you are taking this initial step in seeking support. My approach is based on the belief that therapy is a collaborative effort and that my clients are the experts of their own lives. Subsequently, therapy is centered around creating a safe space where my clients are able to process their greatest fears, pains, traumas, hopes, and dreams.

I believe that all people are capable of change and meaningful connections. Sometimes we just need help figuring out how to get there. By reshaping our perspectives and behaviors we open new doors for personal growth and improved relationships. In therapy, we can identify the roots of problems, work to build connections, and find ways to move forward.
It is a joy to work with people from all walks of life. I have a no-judgment stance in the therapy room. Come as you are and we will work together to determine who you want to be.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Therapists
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.
