Warm and open, my therapeutic style is grounded in curiosity and compassion. I work to transform typical therapeutic spaces into empowering environments that cultivate inner-knowing and greater connection. I work from humanistic and feminist theoretical orientations, meaning that I'm relational and collaborative as a therapist. I believe trust is built and shame diminished when we’re met with authentic connection. I work with individuals and people in relationships working toward greater embodiment, connection, and healing. Many of my clients want to strengthen self-trust, grow their relational skills, and navigate life transitions.

Do you ever feel like you're constantly running uphill, putting in the effort but never quite reaching the top? Maybe you find yourself putting off tasks at work, leading to last-minute scrambles, stress and anxiety. At home, the never-ending cycle of unfinished chores seems overwhelming. You want to connect deeply with others, but sometimes it feels like you're prioritizing everyone else's needs, leaving you feeling unfulfilled. Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed by ADHD and feeling like you're not reaching your full potential? As a licensed therapist with a background in special education, I understand the ADHD brain.

Anxiety on its own can be extremely challenging. To make matters more difficult, it often also comes with sleep difficulties or depression, which can make daily life an exhausting and frustrating experience. The good news is that with the correct approach, it is usually possible to make significant progress in a short period of time. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, and related difficulties (including panic attacks, OCD, generalized anxiety, phobias, PTSD, and others). I have a particular specialty in the treatment of insomnia and sleep related disorders.

I work with people using a variety of philosophies, but those encompassing humanistic and psychodynamic theories inform most of my practice. This generally means I am most interested in focusing on emotions, insight, relationships, past experiences, meta-emotion, self-worth, authenticity, fantasies, and the unconscious. I rely heavily on discussing shame, vulnerability, emotional needs, and creating meaning in life. I am fairly non-directive, and I will be most focused on helping you find your own authentic path by reflecting and exploring deeper meanings and patterns that arise in our discussions.

My passion is helping people be the best version of themselves. I want my patients to feel empowered to heal themselves over time. One of my most important roles as a psychiatrist is to instill hope for my patients. Anxiety and depression is treatable, and with alternative therapies along with medication management, we have even more options for patients who struggle. We've extended our services to all of Utah via video visits from your smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Dysfunctional thoughts and emotions destroy us and those around us. Let her help you, through new thoughts and ideas, finally move towards a life that works for you rather than against you. Her practice is inspiring, motivational and directive when needed. She believes that we are all one and share in common the challenges of living life on life's terms; while still understanding that each of us brings our unique expression of these challenges into the session.

As a relentlessly compassionate experiential psychotherapist, I want to provide you a new experience, an experience that is good and allows you to experience yourself in a new way that feels connected, seen, heard, and understood. If talk therapy hasn't been sufficient in the past for anxiety, trauma, self-esteem/self-concept concerns, or difficulties in your relationships. Consider calling me. The specialty populations I serve are other therapists, physicians and medical professionals, college-age students and emerging adults, the LQBTQIA+ community, and those dealing with grief and relationship problems.

Together, we will uncover those unconscious motivations that are still running your life, and dismantle them! After over 30 years practicing psychotherapy, I remain passionate and believe I am really great at what I do.

I specialize in teaching adults how to have a more satisfying sense of control over their own lives, and a greater sense of connection to themselves and others through individualized, supportive therapy sessions. Stress makes us anxious. When we are anxious, we become reactive and defensive. Each of us has a unique set of unconscious, habitual coping strategies that kicks-in automatically under stress. I use a unique combination of therapeutic tools to teach men and women how to respond rather than react to the big and the small and the positive and the negative stressors that life deals us.
