As I finish my masters degree in marriage and family therapy I hope to strengthen and join those who are overwhelmed, stuck, or discouraged. My clinical development and training have led me to work primarily with families of teenagers and young children as well as couples who are seeking to repair or improve their relationships. I work from an experiential family therapy framework that specifically works to build family strengths and resiliency. This is also the foundation for emotionally focused therapy, an evidence-based approach for couple relationships.

Licensed in Utah and Nevada, offices in Saint George and Mesquite. I believe the counseling process a collaborative journey. The journey begins without judgement in a safe and helping environment.... Each of you has a life story and within that story are opportunities for growth, happiness, and fulfillment. Many of you are feeling emotional pain, frustrations, anger, fear, and hopelessness. You are not "broken" just likely realizing that the problem solving tools that may have worked in the past may be dull or worn. Many times we are not sure what to do, or where to look for help. Now is a great time to call and start your journey.

I love working with individuals that struggle in life and feel as if all is lost. Once they come to therapy they learn new ways to deal with their stress, depression, and anxiety. Through learning coping skills the individual finds a new way of living and they become the butterfly that they were meant to be.

I believe that within each of us lies a powerful, resilient human spirit that has the capacity to thrive - regardless of one's life circumstances. My clients have a variety of backgrounds but all of them have one thing in common: a desire to be truly happy and healthy. I get to the root of the problem/s; my clients experience thru interactive therapy that produces results. My methods are directive, down to earth, and engaging for both children and adults. We all develop habits that serve us in the moment, only to discover that those same behaviors and narratives are keeping us from getting what we want out of life and relationships.

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, and it is my preferred method of counseling, however EMDR is not for everyone, so I am able to tailor my approach to fit my client’s needs. I am also trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and have training in Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Motivational interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy.

Are you scared to start therapy because you might be judged? For your trauma, past, sexuality, pronouns, open marriage, religious (or non-religious) affiliation? One of my greatest strengths in the therapy room is that I show up as a human, a real person, not a therapy robot who cannot possibly relate to you or your struggles. It's tricky feeling like you can find a therapist in Utah that can understand your struggles, especially if you live outside of the mainstream culture. If that's the case, we might be therapeutically aligned. You're not alone, you're not wrong or bad, and there is hope that things can change.

I have loved working with people and helping them find more peace and joy in their lives. I am grateful to have chosen Social Work as a degree, as it has given me the opportunity to work in a variety of areas. I have worked in Adolescent and Adult Residential Treatment, Intensive Outpatient Treatment, Adoption, I've been an On-Call Crisis Worker at the Hospital, a Hospice Social Worker and I still facilitate a Grief and Loss Support Group. All this experience has given me the chance to learn about life and the struggles we all deal with. I have come to believe that we all experience difficulties that can be benefitted by treatment.

Sometimes parenting can be fraught with challenges, and knowing how best to help your child can be confusing. Whether it's behavior problems, anxiety, depression, educational issues, or chronic illness; these issues do have solutions. The guidance you receive should be from someone with the proper training, who utilizes research-based strategies, and resists the urge to rely solely on their "gut" in a treatment setting. This is the current standard in this modern age of psychological care, and combined with the right interpersonal fit, you and your child's efforts in treatment will be more likely to result in lasting change.

I am passionate about supporting those ready and willing to face the trials and traumas that we all experience on some level. I love working with individuals seeking support to create change in their lives. It is easy to get stuck and we often hold onto past traumas and hurts that can create mental, emotional, physical and spiritual dis-ease. Finding your way back to self is critical in living a heart centered life and that is my hope for you. Healing is possible and we are not meant to walk this path alone. One of my mantras is "Turn your pain into your purpose". I do believe we can make peace with our past. Are you ready?

I know the hopelessness of what you are going through, because I have been there. I lived with the chains of pornography and sex addiction for many years, before realizing I held the keys to my freedom, they were just locked inside me. Since my transformation, I have committed my practice to helping other men heal from the early attachment wounds of shame, that drive them to seek for love, belonging, and acceptance outside of intimacy and connection with others. My work focuses on getting to the root of the trauma and reprocessing it, utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).

Recovery from substance use and mental health disorders is unique to each person. There is no "one path to recovery". I firmly believe in meeting people where they are in their journey and helping them find the path that will work best for their unique needs. I am passionate about integrating "traditional" therapeutic practices with "Complementary and Alternative Medicine", such as meditation and yoga. The research behind using these practices is clear that they increase people's mental health and overall wellbeing.

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.
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.
What type of therapist is right for me?
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, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
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 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.
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.
