I am currently a MFT State Intern working at Maternal Minds Counseling. Have you ever felt stuck but didn't know which direction to go to move forward? Life can be difficult and stressful with lots of uncertainty. My goal is to help you find ways to feel unstuck and start moving forward. After experiencing a pregnancy loss and having a rainbow baby myself, I understand the pain, worries, excitement and sadness that comes with every step. I hope to be a support and guide for others going on their own journey of life.

My goal is always to help clients build a life worth living. Sensing a gap between where we are and where we would like to be can be a painful experience. Therapy can help to address unpleasant emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and interpersonal symptoms. Therapy can also help clarify values and identity, and can support you in navigating difficult circumstances and challenging barriers to change and growth. Therapy can be helpful in many ways, including building skills to manage difficult emotions, change behavior, and improve relationships; as well as processing lived experience and the accompanying emotions.

Things can be very difficult, work, family, community obligations. They all come at us so fast. Today more than ever people are feeling the strain, pressure at work, demands of family and not enough hours to help those around us and not feeling a sense of connection to those who surround us.

As a natural-born people person, I gravitate toward helping those around me and enjoy meeting clients where they are, while developing trust in a therapeutic setting. The family you came from can impact the family you are creating, and using therapeutic approaches that pull from family systems, trauma, and cognitive behavioral methods are my main focus. I was drawn to this profession because of my passion for working with people who were surviving trauma and grief.

You want things to be better – next level, even. You’re tired of feeling stuck, burnt out, overwhelmed, and unfulfilled. You're heartbroken with grief as you mourn the loss of a special someone, something, or dream. The constant high expectations (of yourself and others) is exhausting, and the people-pleasing is wearing you down so there’s not much time or energy left for pleasure or fun. You’re ready to make positive changes and to grieve well, but you need some support in the process. Let's connect so you can start to live with greater ease, transform your loss into deeper love and meaningful purpose, and feel more fulfilled,

Waitlist for new clients
New Clients: waitlist only. There are times in life when we may feel stretched beyond our limits, in need of repair. When we feel hopeless that things will get better, whether individually, in your relationship, or with your family. During these difficult times it can be hard to ask for help. When you take that first step of reaching out, I’ll come along side of you and aid in your journey towards healing, balance, and wellness. I will collaborate with you to help guide your journey, as we work together to find health and happiness. I do individual sessions as well as run small groups for betrayed partners.

You deserve to feel GOOD-- Peaceful, happy, grounded, and content. Fulfilled in your relationships and joyful in your life. Sometimes we take a look around and even though we "should" feel all those things...we don't. Therapy is a safe haven where you can feel heard, understood, and validated. We'll dive into the stuckness and help you navigate your way out of it. My goal is to provide an environment where we can openly process your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behaviors without fear of judgment, and you can leave feeling empowered, confident, and free.

I want to help you become your best self and to heal physically, emotionally and spiritually. I love helping clients come to know themselves. I am particularly sensitive to clients facing moments of transition, like a move to the city, job loss, or breakup, when the delicate balance can seem to tremble, and symptoms of anxiety, depression, and self-doubt can emerge.

Life can seem overwhelming and even frightening at times. Our most important relationships and life issues trigger physical, emotional, and mental responses we do not understand and cannot seem to overcome by ourselves. So many of our struggles are exacerbated by a lack of skills and knowledge, which can be obtained through effective therapy. Together, we will build upon your strengths to help you effectively approach your challenges. We will clarify your goals together and get you on the path to healing and achieving them.

I help LDS women in unhappy marriages get to the root of the problems, and solve those, instead of using temporary fixes for peace. They may appear to have a perfect family from the outside. Despite being kind people, committed parents, with great friends and community, their marriage is hard and unfulfilling. Women often come to me in secret, because they want a safe place to process thoughts and feelings. Sometimes they have attended couples counseling, but the sessions have been a negative experience because the spouse minimized the problems or steamrolled the session. They fear the unhappy marriage will never change.

You feel trapped, with past traumas controlling your life and dictating your actions. The constant fear of being triggered creates barriers to connection and trust. You want to be back in control, no longer defined by your past trauma. You hope things have gotten easier over time, but then something triggers those painful memories, and they come flooding back as strong as ever. The weight of these experiences leaves you feeling stuck and overwhelmed. You yearn to break free from this cycle, to heal and move forward, reclaiming your life and embracing a future where you can connect deeply and trust fully.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work together effectively, but, especially for those whose concerns relate to their religion or cultural background, a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond, even if they do not have an extensive history with or understanding of their client’s background before therapy begins.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Church of Christ/Latter Day Saints values?
Each individual brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of therapeutic modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition such as LDS that strongly influences the conduct of everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process.
Why might someone feel comfortable with an LDS-attuned therapist?
While qualifications and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic effectiveness. It is wise to find a therapist who is responsive to your questions and concerns and with whom you feel you can establish a rapport. A therapist who is sensitive to LDS values and beliefs and the role they play in the lives of Church members can offer Mormon clients a welcome sense of safety, assurance that their community and culture will be understood, and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, all of which support the therapeutic process.
How do I recognize a good LDS therapist?
LDS therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Mormon principles and values. They have an understanding of the culture and the important role the Church plays in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of emotional difficulties those raised in the faith can be prone to. Like all effective therapists, a good LDS therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of everyday life.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Mormon/LDS therapists?
The directory of LDS therapists includes therapists who have shared their cultural background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information; these individuals would not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with LDS clients and/or communities, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
