Looking for a therapist to help you or your teen to manage ADHD, intense emotions, or behavioral problems? I have spent the last 10 years specializing in treating clients with symptoms related to anxiety, depression, ADHD and trauma. I am comfortable working with teens who experience problems with self-harm and suicidal thoughts. I like to use humor and a more relaxed style of engagement to help people feel at ease while approaching difficult topics and taking the steps to change.

My ideal client would be someone who is willing to acknowledge the need for help and growth in their life. The client will be willing to work hard and get through the situation instead of getting over the situation. The client will want to learn about all aspects of themselves and that getting there will be a journey that they will always remember.

The best part about being a therapist is seeing the positive emotional and physical responses my clients gain from therapy. I think of myself as a guide in helping people navigate challenges in their life. Everybody has challenges and obstacles they must face in their lifetime. But not one experience is the same. How we process our emotions, how and what we believe about ourselves and the world around us is as unique as we are. It’s an emotional fingerprint. I want to hear about the emotional fingerprints, both good and bad so I can better understand how to guide you away from the bad and onto a path of self-healing.

I was in the ER when a mom brought in her son who had broken his arm. The little guy became frantic as the doctor tried to evaluate: “No, don’t touch it!” Then the boy had an idea, holding up his other arm and brightly suggesting, “Here, look at this arm.” Psychotherapy works best when we go to the brokenness of our hearts, not getting distracted by blame, who else should change, or what’s unfair on our planet. Reverence and irreverence, support and confrontation, cold numbers and warm intuition: I blend them all. I also keep in mind the end goal: get well enough, close out psychotherapy, and get on with living.

I am a CSW dedicated to empathy and positivity. I graduated from the University of Utah and gained experience in the Burn Trauma ICU at the University of Utah Hospital, sparking my interest in trauma work. I have a positive and optimistic nature that I hope empowers clients to achieve their goals, regain hope, and build resilience. I value simplicity in life, mindfulness, and activities like hot yoga, skiing, paddle boarding, and cooking!

Are you looking for compassionate and experienced support on your journey towards mental and emotional well-being?

Many people hold trauma from the past, which develops into negative core beliefs. These beliefs, when not explored and processed, can result in life choices that are not always the healthiest or most positive for continued growth. We will work together to process the trauma and allow you to live your most fulfilled and happy life. Together we can look at issues such as anxiety, grief, depression, and anger to pinpoint the cause of these painful emotions and work together to develop a new way of addressing these issues.

My purpose in working with clients, metaphorically speaking, is not to command another person's vessel; rather, to serve as a trusted navigator through uncertain waters. I support and protect my client's autonomy and purpose in discovering the best version of themselves through objectivity, self-discovery, and occasional service as a devil's advocate, if necessary; for example, "admit that you are weak... And then prove yourself wrong. Purposely and with passion."

I'm here to be your trusted guide on this journey to a brighter, happier you. As a licensed practitioner in Utah since 1997, my journey has been one of continual growth and dedication. It all started with my rigorous studies and a transformative internship at Sewickley Valley Hospital near Pittsburgh, PA. This experience laid the foundation for me to earn my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the School of Professional Psychology at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. After completing a fulfilling three-year contract in Tooele, I made the exciting decision to open my own office and extend my practice to Davis County.

My role as a therapist is to create a space where you feel empowered to explore your thoughts and emotions, as well as find healing solutions to issues you may be facing. These issues may be depression, anxiety, a life change, or past trauma that you may now find yourself courageous enough to face. I have experience working with adults who live with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, maternal mental health, addiction, first responders, faith transitions, and gender transitions. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and sex positive.

No guilt, no blame, no shame. If you examine your life journey, you will most likely find that you are where you are for a reason and that reason has nothing to do with fate, destiny, or even luck. If you aren't satisfied with where your life is headed, I believe you have the power and ability to change it. I have experience working with individuals, couples, families, and groups. As a 20 year military veteran with multiple deployments I have insight and experience working with combat related Post Traumatic Stress and Military Family Life issues. I am also licensed to provide video and phone service for clients living in Idaho.
