Are you feeling stuck in relationships, work or family issues? Are you yearning to remove obstacles in your life? Are you experiencing difficult life transitions? As a family therapist for over 20 years I specialize in working with individuals, couples and families. I offer a process to access deep emotional connection and change patterns that keep you stuck. I have seen the toll stress takes on couples and families. It is my intention to reassure that internally you have the answers and it is a process to work from the inside out.

My top priority as a therapist is to support people in being who they genuinely are. I am interested in the beauty which exists within the complexities of our most difficult experiences and predicaments. I try to understand these challenges as unique poetries, which can be both brutally painful and exquisitely fascinating, rather than as diagnoses or problems to be fixed. I strive to prioritize the dynamics of the therapeutic relationship as the most essential means in therapy of exploring your inner world. At times this will be challenging, at other times validating, and always coming from a place of respect for you as a person.

Together, we create a safe, non-judgmental space to do the work that helps you feel better. Sometimes that work can be difficult, painful, or even scary, but my clients tell me they appreciate my openness and warm sense of humor. I wish I had more time, but I'm currently prioritizing new clients who are: (1) Primarily interested in art therapy work, and/or (2) Referred by someone I know (such as a current/former colleague, student, or client), and/or (3) Seeking support with trauma, body image/acceptance, or faith deconstruction/transition. Groups may be available.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I provide individual, couples, and family therapy. My extensive experience allows me to work successfully with a range of patients. I utilize a number of different approaches, integrating research and best practices to meet the needs of the individuals with whom I work. My training, experience and diversity of approaches allow me to work successfully with children, adolescents and adults.

If you want to reclaim your peace, rebuild your confidence, or feel like yourself again, reach out. My clients find renewed hope as they face strong feelings in a safe way, uncovering both hidden issues and hidden strengths. Due to low availability, I am presently limiting new cases to those with issues where I’ve brought the best results. Trauma survivors (both women and men) and women, specifically, who are dealing with other issues such as anxiety, mood, chronic pain, or the effects of narcissistic abuse. Nervous system dysregulation leads to many difficulties. It can be healed - the right methods can make a difference.

As humans we are constantly navigating internal and external stress, expectations and criticism. When we can explore our internal landscape in the presence of a loving other, we can also discover more compassion and presence with Self. I work with individuals, couples and families who hope for change and want more from life, but have not been able to understand how they ended up in their current circumstances or patterns. Together we can identify and move through what has created resistance in your life. More Being represents consciousness, remembering who you are and living it with balance, movement, exploration and freedom.

Are you feeling stuck in your life, relationships, thoughts, emotions or habits? Are you feeling too broken or walled off or anxious to engage in meaningful connections with others? Are you struggling with knowing or liking who you are? Do you get stalled overthinking things? Current research suggests that meaningful connections are at the core of solid mental health. Do you need help identifying what is holding you back from a life of meaningful connections and healthy relationships? Do you feel lost, confused or alone?

My therapeutic approach is customized to your needs in the moment and prioritizes making you feel seen, heard, and empowered. I'm here to support you in learning how to better approach yourself with love and care, to be more connected in your mind and body, and to better understand and embody your authentic self. I believe that healing happens when we feel safely supported by others and have a deeper understanding of our minds and bodies.

I invite you to experience a cooperative therapy relationship in which you have the freedom to be yourself, to be imperfect, to laugh, and to evolve. Do you look like you have it all together, but inside, you struggle to enjoy life? Despite your best efforts at change, do you feel stuck? People who reach out to me are high achieving and high functioning adults often with successful careers, families, and/or social lives. Despite their accomplishments, however, they struggle privately with emotional concerns including anxiety, grief, self-doubt, unresolved trauma, perfectionism, chronic pain, and relationship problems.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with depression, or experiencing challenges in your relationships that are impacting your well-being you may be seeking a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings. Therapy is a place for you to gain insight into your experiences, and develop as a person. If you are finding yourself facing life transitions, emotional distress or feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns this space can offer self empowerment and a transformative journey towards self discovery, healing and resilience.

We all want fulfillment or to be content and we often struggle to be that way. Our life experiences, culture(s), and development contribute to ways of thinking, feeling, and living. Add adverse or traumatic experiences to those influences and we seldom escape without reinforced negative beliefs about ourselves or the world. These beliefs can be right in our faces or very subtlety prodding at our subconscious. Either way, this is where we all need help and guidance.

Throughout this human experience, we often need support when we feel lost, afraid, or stuck. I believe in every client's ability to connect with their inner wisdom, identify their strengths, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves.

Are you experiencing stress, loneliness or emotional pain related to a major life change, a relationship crisis, or a struggle with anxiety or depression? I have over 16 years of experience working with people wrestling with these kinds of issues. I find great satisfaction in helping people navigate concerns related to spiritual questioning and transition. It is an honor to work with individuals healing from trauma or who are seeking relief from depression or anxiety. I find my work with couples who are having difficulty communicating, resolving conflict or repairing after betrayal very meaningful.

As a trauma specialist, I work with my clients to heal the impact of distressing experiences. Trauma is much more common than most of us would like to believe. If you find that you often feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected you may be living with the impact of traumatic experiences. Together we will get to know your brain and nervous system, and find ways to manage these symptoms more effectively while we simultaneously work to better understand the experiences that caused them.

When we find ourselves in a whirlwind, losing our sense of direction, it can be disorienting. We may lose connection to the part of us that knows what to do and where to go. We may be losing the battle with relentless looping thoughts, struggling to prioritize our own needs while being in relationship to others, and/or lacking the empowerment to make lasting change. There may be parts of our story that we would like to disown. Losing trust in ourselves, we become disconnected from our heart, confused by our own minds, and afraid to face what is next in life.

Do you desire to decrease stress levels, and gain the tools and understanding to better connect with your authentic and empowered self?

I provide counseling to individuals and couples in the Salt Lake City area. I work with my clients to identify issues clearly and help them to create lasting change. Once this change occurs, problems will be seen as opportunities, rather than failures. I am often told by my clients they feel a level of trust, acceptance and comfort that has been missing with other therapists. When working with individuals, I use acceptance and mindfulness based approaches to manage anxiety and other symptoms you may be experiencing. I will help you look at negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a fulfilling life.
