Reconnecting to ourselves and our support structures in an ever changing environment can be challenging. We are surrounded by expectations and demands that at times feel overwhelming and out of reach. I work with clients on reestablishing these connections and instilling mental health empowerment. We are all capable of growth and deserving of the opportunity to reset and reconnect.

Our hearts long for authentic connection to ourselves and others - and the sense of aliveness that results from being truly ourselves as we relate. Sometimes, however, reactive patterns arise and displace our competent adult functioning with unregulated emotional states such as anxiety, anger, insecurity, or depression. Often there is no context or overt memory associated with such experiences, which are thought to have their roots in insufficient neural organization. Our neural organization, as it turns out, can adapt and change, giving us access to more and more emotional freedom and contentment.

As we struggle to meet the demands of life, we often do battle with ourselves. We may end up feeling lost, stuck, alone, and overwhelmed; struggling to feel comfortable in our own skin, to feel like we belong, and to just live. If you are yearning for ways to reconnect with life, to leave behind ruts, and to learn to love yourself and others, there is hope in therapy.

I enjoy working with adults who are dealing with the after-effects of chronic trauma throughout childhood. This can mean high levels of emotional reactivity, intrusive memories of difficult past events, and difficulties in obtaining and maintaining important interpersonal relationships. My ideal client is looking for ways to feel safe and secure in the world and to, as Dr. Marsha Linehan would say, "build a life worth living." I also feel confident working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety and other interpersonal issues.

If you are being completely honest with yourself, are you happy with your life? That question can bring up a lot of thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. Life can be very challenging, and many people struggle to cope. The good news is, you do not have to do it alone. As a Certified Social Worker, I can help you process what you are experiencing and develop healthier, more effective coping and communication skills. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Research shows these types of therapy are effective in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and more.

I have found that working with people based on their strengths and adding mindfulness skills is helpful in addressing anxiety and depression and important life transitions. Everyone has something that is working well for them and I endeavor to support individuals enhance those strengths. From time to time I work with people using books and workbooks as an aid to skill development, as well as encouraging outdoor activity and physical movement for expressing and processing feelings and past wounds. I am licensed in Utah and California and primarily work online at this time because of ongoing concerns about Covid.

When people experience trauma or stressful life events, it is not uncommon for them to feel like they have lost their footing. My passion is helping people feel hope again and return balance back into their lives. I work with neurodiverse children, adolescents and adults to help them regain a healthier perception of themselves and strengthen personal relationships.

As a holistic psychotherapist, I maintain a "mind-body-environment" perspective to understand how mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health are interconnected and interrelated to our relationships with others, the environment (nature-culture) and ourselves. I recognize that when those elements are imbalanced, it creates symptoms that can lead to suffering. Anxiety and depression, among other mind-body symptoms, are both cause and effect of this imbalance. They are also the cause of feeling stagnant in life, another root of suffering. Therefore, I hope to work with my patients to create balance and find flow in their life.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, 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.
