Clients coming from a faith background of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ( Mormon) find it helpful to work with someone who understands LDS teachings and culture.
I help LDS/LDS adjacent individuals and couples work through issues relating to burnout, faith journeys, relationships, sexuality, and parenting. My clients are responsible people (maybe too responsible!) who are looking for relief and balance. I work with people who are exhausted by trying to figure out how to continue on with all of life's demands, but also make room to care for themselves and heal. The folks I work with want to find a way to live by their values while making changes that help life not feel like such a slog. I help clients experience themselves and their situations in a whole new way.

My clients are incredible women who haven't felt like themselves lately, as life changes have derailed them and left them with increased anxiety, self doubt, and lost self esteem. If it's been hard to connect authentically with those around you and you want to be able to make decisions, engage with others, and handle recent changes with more confidence and peace, then I invite you to reach out.

Knowing that “one size fits all” is not the approach a good therapist would take. But being that therapist that is able to assist you to take hold of your future and assist you to heal from the past might be worth your time. I focus on working with people who have issues with: Life/Work/School. Caregivers/parents. Teens and adults living with trauma, Physical/Sexual assault. I have worked 20+ yrs. with people. The elderly, foster parents, teens as a school counselor and therapy to children and families suffering from trauma.

Therapy does not have to be a beatdown. Healing and growth can be demanding, exhausting, and have high stakes. Having support, a clear plan, and reliable evidence-based approaches adapted to your unique situation can sustain hope through the hardest times and bring changes that feel impossible within reach. You are the expert in your own life. Change is most meaningful and lasting when we are supported in discovering our own insights and solutions within the safety of compassionate relationships. My first goal is to help create a safe place for you to have a voice and access your natural capacity for healing.

Are you wishing your child or your spouse came with an instruction manual? Family relationships are how children and adults come to understand themselves and the world and is what all of us most want to get right. So, when children struggle, parents struggle. And when couple falter, the kids feel it, too. My goal in counseling is to help partners, parents and kids build on the love and strengths they already have, learning new ways to interact, communicate, and solve problems. My experience and philosophy both tell me that kids and adults do well when they can. And when we feel better, we all do better.

You never imagined spirituality or faith could produce heartache and turmoil in your life. Something that once invoked peace and strength for you, perhaps now prompts questions and uncertainty. It is ok to reevaluate what you believe, and determine how your current values fit into your present life situation! Sometimes new experiences, personal growth and increased awareness can shed light on how your old thoughts, feelings and emotions are no longer serving you well. Maybe you are struggling with how to handle others’ responses to the changes you have made in your life.

Do you find that some parts of your life feel stuck despite everything you try? No matter how strong someone is, we can all get stuck. When that happens, it can be tricky to see solutions and move forward to being the person you want to be. Relationship struggles can leave you feeling frustrated and disconnected-hungry for deeper, more meaningful connections with the people you care about. You aren’t sure what’s getting in the way, and you wonder what else you can possibly do. You want to appear like you have it all together and that your relationships are solid, but deep down, the struggle is real, and you are ready to change!

I also offer couples counseling services and utilize the Gottman Method to address the real work and change needed for couples to heal. LGTBQIA+ affirming.

Yep, life sure can feel heavy sometimes! Does it seem as though you are in a constant wrestling- match with your feelings, or battling an emotional tug-of-war? Are the daily pressures weighing you down, leaving you discouraged, exhausted or hopeless? Maybe you are fighting to control your racing thoughts & restless energy. Struggling to contain or manage your frustration, disappointment, anger, fear or sadness can feel impossible, even pointless, at times. The stress of it all might even be causing you to disconnect or isolate from those you love in order to shield them from what you are going through.

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.
