She has received extensive training in various modalities address diagnoses of complex trauma/PTSD, borderline personality disorder, bipolar, addiction issues, and dissociative disorders. She believes the decision to enter therapy is courageous, and the path of self-discovery and fulfillment is one of the most profound journeys on which we embark. This path requires that each person be witnessed, seen, and held in a compassionate and supportive space.

Congratulations for taking steps to invest in yourself. I think that is so brave! Therapy is a crucial tool in navigating much of what we experience as humans day to day. I am passionate about helping clients improve their quality of life, whatever that uniquely means for them. It can mean: Learning coping skills for Depression and Anxiety, navigating faith transitions, processing change, making important decisions, talking through relational difficulties, decreasing ruminative thoughts, processing trauma, and replacing cycles of ineffective behaviors. We all make sense! We often just need support and safety to make desired changes.

We all deserve to feel happiness and joy, but things can get in the way; maybe you're experiencing some relationship difficulty, anxiety, depression, ADHD or trauma. Whatever the challenge, that's where therapy comes in.

“If we don’t change, we don’t grow. If we don’t grow, we aren’t really living.” -Gail Sheehy. Change is an inevitable part of life, but it can be uncomfortable and scary. In a safe, therapeutic partnership, change and growth become possible. I have worked in the mental health field in various capacities with individuals across the lifespan for 18 years. I am passionate about helping people navigate life’s changes and challenges. I specialize in helping adults and teens experiencing grief, depression, anxiety, transitions, and terminal illness.

I have always been interested in people’s stories, understanding how they see the world as they do, and how they have overcome challenges. Each of us has a rich, often complicated history that led us to the present moment. As a psychologist, it is an honor and privilege to get to know my patients’ histories, understand what got them here, and help them to be who they want to be in the world.

I love working with individuals who are asking, "What do i want to create in my life? What do I want to move away from?". Life transitions in work, relationships, health, and faith, come to everyone, with accompanying fear, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and uncertainty. I work with a combination of approaches to help people reduce stress and return to a sense of regulation and mastery in their lives. My specialty is Somatic Experiencing as i have found that talk alone is not enough, the body needs to be included in growth and healing.

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.

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.

As a Queer, BIPOC, Utah native with an LDS background, I understand the unique and diverse aspects of our culture. It comes with its own set of challenges, whether related to religion, racial identity, sexuality, emotional expression and vulnerability, or the sense of isolation that can sometimes accompany being part of this community. If you find yourself overwhelmed by emotions, struggling to connect with others, feeling stressed, or just barely hanging on, I am here to help.

When certain challenges arise in life, it can be difficult to figure out what the next step is. It can be especially difficult to deal with life's circumstances when you feel like you have to do it on your own, or when you're not really sure where to look for answers. What would it look like if you could find yourself fully empowered to find those answers within yourself? As your therapist, I will stand alongside you and work to help you find healing. Together, we will identify and work through the barriers keeping you from feeling whole and complete... whether those barriers exist in the past, present, or concerns about the future.
