While we are all innately resilient and have the ability to heal, sometimes we need a bit of help to jumpstart that process. Especially after a scary, confusing or upsetting event, we may feel stuck or trapped. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive therapeutic relationship to foster healing and post traumatic growth. For anyone who has experienced confusing, scary or upsetting events, my goal is to help you process your past and design a life you love.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Provo, UT 84604
How can I help you? I loved that question as I watched a father say that to his young child who was in the midst of a tantrum. He quietly asked the question, letting his child know he was willing to listen, to comfort, and to help, without judgment. My favorite person often asks me a similar question when I feel like I am drowning with the demands and stressors of life. Sometimes I don’t know how to answer the question but its comforting to know that someone is there to listen. This is illustrative of my approach as a therapist. I am here to listen to you, to make your journey easier.

Do you feel stuck, drained, or caught in relationship struggles? It doesn’t need to be that way. Sometimes what’s needed is dedicated space. Therapy is a space to unpack that pain and find alignment. My own journey began as a child refugee, learning resilience in the face of uncertainty. These experiences shaped my understanding of trauma, resilience, and the deep need to feel seen and heard. Choosing the right therapist is a significant step in your healing process. Together, we’ll clarify your goals, explore what holds you back, and create a path toward the balanced and fulfilling life. Immediate openings available!

Living comes with its fair share of stressors, and yet, your situation is unique to you. Do you need a chance to regroup, sort through ideas, and move through a rough spot? Perhaps you haven't quite felt yourself, and you want to get back to you. Maybe you and someone significant have been experiencing conflict, and you would like a neutral party to help work through the complicated reactions that have resulted and come to a clear resolution. If you find yourself in one of these scenarios, I would gladly offer perspective and a listening ear.

I know that reaching out for help can feel vulnerable. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. Therapy can be a place where you feel truly heard, supported, and empowered and where you can show up as you are. I’m passionate about about supporting children, teens, and adults as they navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional and behavioral challenges, self-harm, life transitions, and family or relationship stress. I feel especially called to work with adolescents and young adults, particularly those who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, misunderstood, or unsure of how to move forward.

We all develop ways of surviving difficult experiences. Sometimes those strategies continue to serve us, and sometimes they begin to get in the way. Therapy offers an opportunity to understand these patterns, reduce suffering, and create new ways of relating to yourself and others. My approach to trauma-informed psychotherapy integrates Western and Eastern perspectives and is grounded in Dr. Judith Herman’s three-phase model: stabilization, trauma processing, and reconnection. Together, we explore your unique life experiences and how they continue to shape your present.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.

How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
