I don't know how to stop hurting. I don't know how to help him. I don't know how to get anything to change. Whether it is a problem you are experiencing with yourself, your child or another loved one many people have these thoughts. When the thoughts become overwhelming and impact your quality of life, it is time to change. Anais Nin wrote, "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."

Or are you trying to rediscover yourself after divorce, having a child go off to college, or death of a loved one? I help people with all kinds of situations. Whether you are experiencing problems in a relationship, grief or bereavement, depression, anxiety, or a spiritual crisis, there is hope. I am trained in EMDR, CBT, ACT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, psychodynamic theory, and routinely learn from experts in the field. Perhaps most important though, is that I listen.

“Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary.” — Fred Rogers. I’ve studied people and learned about self-healing while working as a psych tech at Utah State Hospital along with other mental health roles. Did you know placebos work on medical conditions close to 33% and up to 60%? That means that your brain has enormous healing power. I like to learn about my clients' lives to discover their roadblocks and challenges, as well as their strengths and goals.

Has it been a while since you've felt like yourself? Maybe you've been irritable, overwhelmed, depressed, tired, or anxious. Let's work together to deepen your capacity for true self-compassion, lasting growth, and help you to create meaningful, fulfilling relationships in every phase of life. As Dr. Brené Brown reminds us, we are wired for connection! When we are disconnected from ourselves, it can make connecting with others difficult and unsustainable. I am honored to support my clients as they explore, identify, and courageously express their desires from an increasingly secure place which is grounded in their values.

Feeling disconnected? Overly stressed or anxious? Wondering what might send you over the edge next? From the outside looking in, no one knows anything is going on. Are you an athlete that has sustained a concussion, injury, accident, or negative experience? You now have fear and pain that keep you from competing or recreating. You struggle with negative self-talk, perfectionism, anxiety, and understanding/feeling your emotions. Imagine if you could more easily understand what you’re feeling and why. Imagine navigating challenges with clarity and confidence, performing at your best, and remembering why you love your sport/recreation.

I work with young adults, families, and couples helping them to shed light on themselves and the systems of which they are a part. I have worked predominately with clients experiencing symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety, bipolar, addictive disorders, and personality disorders. I have a background in wilderness therapy and experiential treatment and love to introduce creative, alternative modes of expression to my clients, including yoga movement, narrative, and outdoor based therapies (walk and talk). By the end of our first session, most of my clients feel relieved and hopeful for their next steps.
