Washington, UT 84780
I specialize in couples, families, and individual work (13 and older) using Compassion-focused therapy and Integrative Couples Behavioral Therapy which are highly effective for change.
I am passionate about helping people overcome feelings of anxiety, shame, depression, or perfectionism related to feelings of inadequacy or worthlessness. I empower people to shed feelings of guilt or over-responsibility for others. I help people develop greater compassion within themselves, as well in marriage, parenting, and other relationships. Yes, it takes work to make changes, but I provide skills and a safe place to make and sustain those changes. Studies show when we live with more compassion, we have less anxiety, depression, and conflict. I love helping people on this journey to live with peace.

My approach to counseling is, first and foremost, founded on the quality of the therapy relationship itself. I have worked in the the mental health profession for 35 years and for 25 years in private practice as a licensed psychologist in St. George, Utah. I provide individual and relationship counseling in an emotionally safe, supportive environment, drawing on a variety of approaches tailored to meet your needs and support your healing and growth. My integrative approach includes the exploration of mental, emotional, physical, developmental, spiritual, and interpersonal factors, as well as practical skill development.

I take an integrative approach to therapy to create an authentic and empathetic therapeutic relationship that serves as a critical factor for change.
I received my doctoral training in Counseling Psychology at Brigham Young University and completed an APA-accredited internship at the Baylor University Counseling Center located in Waco, Texas. I have worked with individuals who have experienced a wide variety of concerns including: depression, anxiety, stress management, trauma, abuse, relationship distress, identity development, phase of life transitions, sexual identity, compulsive sexual behaviors, self-worth, addictive behaviors, and concerns related to spiritual and religious identity.

As such, I employ an integrative approach that weds interpersonal process and emotion-focused theories with CBT, ACT, and DBT therapy modalities.
I offer two distinct services: psychological testing and psychotherapy. As a psychologist, I provide psychological and psychoeducational evaluations to children, adolescents, and adults. Evaluations include a comprehensive understanding of the individual's cognitive and emotional functioning. They target intellectual and academic functioning, learning/memory, executive functioning, personality, and psychopathology. Evaluations may be used for accommodations on standardized exams (e.g. ACT) as well as for Gifted and Talented programs. I also offer Pre-surgical Evaluations, Intellectual Disability Evaluations, and TBI Evaluations. Evaluations may be used to help guide academic (e.g. 504 plans, IEPs, or college accommodations) interventions.

With more than ten years in the field, I help clients create an integrative approach to healing spirit, mind, body, relationships and lifestyle.
I work with clients who are ready to actively address the pain and struggle that comes with difficult life transitions. Whether navigating recovery from religious or spiritual abuse/crises, working through difficult or non-traditional relationship dynamics or healing from trauma, depression or anxiety, my clients will learn the peace that comes with embracing all of it. I help clients create deep internal shifts and trust in their truest selves. They develop insight, radical acceptance, gratitude, and accountability, learning to use life’s difficulties as catalysts towards spiritual growth and psychological maturity.

My experience gives me an enhanced understanding of the connection between mind and body that is often incorporated into my integrative and client-centered approach to therapy.
Do you find yourself struggling to make sense of past and present experiences or have feelings of not being "good enough" that interfere with living an authentic and balanced life? Do you feel overwhelmed by stress and worry, and need a place to sort things through? Perhaps you need a guide in navigating a major life transition or strengthening your relationship with self and others. I support adults, couples, and adolescents in building self awareness and gaining necessary skills to solve problems based on values that are most important to them.

I take an integrative approach to therapy, as I see optimal health as a result of the mental, emotional, social, spiritual, and material aspects that impact the quality of your life experience.
I believe the story you tell yourself about yourself and your relationships is far more meaningful and descriptive than a diagnosis or other label that may have been placed on you. My goal is to assist you in gaining clarity about that story, who you are and where you are in life – your aspirations, talents, skills, obligations, and needs – so you can move confidently into the future, staying connected to those you love and the things that bring you joy. You do not have to be a victim of fear, insecurity, or disappointment – harness your natural abilities, virtues, and powers to be the hero of your life.

Bountiful, UT 84010
With a compassionate, whole-person, and integrative approach, I help individuals (12+) and couples navigate betrayal, relational trauma, infidelity, attachment challenges, and conflict around sex/porn addiction, and manage depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, low self-esteem, eating disorders, and family or couple dynamics.
We feel fulfilled when living authentically, purposefully, and passionately, guided by our core values and a commitment to growth, but challenges can often make this feel out of reach. Navigating life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but I believe everyone has the strength and resilience to overcome these obstacles. My focus is on helping you navigate difficult emotions, work through what holds you back, embrace truth and honesty, and communicate effectively. Together, we’ll explore thought and behavior patterns, attune to your unique experiences, and create actionable steps toward a life that aligns with who you truly are.

Integrative Therapists
What is integrative therapy?
Integrative therapy is a type of therapy that combines ideas and techniques from different therapeutic approaches depending on the needs of the individual client. By merging elements of different treatments, an integrative therapist aims to offer a more flexible approach than those who practice just one type of therapy.
How does integrative therapy work?
Integrative therapy approaches a client’s mental, physical, and emotional health in a holistic way to discover the sources of their unhealthy behavior patterns or other challenges and considers the approach most likely to lead to improvement. Among the techniques an integrative therapist may practice are cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, art or music therapy, psychodynamic therapy, breathwork, family systems therapy, gestalt therapy, and trauma-informed therapy. An integrative therapist regularly evaluates the client’s progress and is prepared to pivot to a different approach if progress stalls.
How long does integrative therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for integrative therapy; people who find they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that spurred them to seek treatment. New patients should understand that it may take some time for a therapist to land on a treatment approach that best meets their needs, but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.
How effective is integrative therapy?
There are hundreds of types of talk therapy, and research shows that while they vary in form, goals, and frequency, many if not all can produce similarly successful outcomes. But a single approach does not always deliver the greatest, or speediest, benefit, and so even therapists primarily trained in one model will use tools, language, techniques, or exercises from others to shape an effective treatment plan.
