I completed my Master's Degree at the University of Utah in 2005. I have worked in Mental Health settings specializing in serious mental illnesses, Veteran's issues, grief/bereavement and trauma. My clients have described me as kind, a good listener and patient. My counseling sessions focus on helping those who have experienced loss and guiding them to find peace with this new reality. I have a particular passion for animals and pet loss counseling is also available.

I have a strengths-based and trauma-informed care approach with all clients. I am also a Certified Grief Recovery Method Specialist which is the only treatment program that has been tested and proven to provide relief from the pain caused by any loss.

Grief is the natural and normal response to any loss. Losses can include more than just a death. Losses include divorce, pet loss, significant health changes, moving, job loss and many more. My goal is to help each person live pain free from the loss instead of just ignoring it or believing that time will magically take it away. Living pain free means that we can more effectively manage the emotions we will naturally feel related to the loss. Healing is possible and I am here to help.
