Therapist

Virtual • Arizona


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who earned my Master of Social Work from Brigham Young University. I am the owner of Salt River Counseling, where I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals, couples, families, and children. Over the past decade, I have worked in a variety of behavioral health settings, including residential treatment, outpatient therapy, school social work, substance use treatment, and clinical leadership. My experience has included serving as a Clinical Director, Clinical Supervisor, Family Therapist, and Admissions Director, allowing me to support clients with a wide range of mental health needs while also mentoring other clinicians and developing trauma-informed programs.

My passion is helping children, teens, adults, couples, and families navigate life's challenges with compassion and practical support. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, family conflict, parenting concerns, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and individualized, drawing from evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and attachment-based, trauma-informed care. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel understood, build on their strengths, and develop the skills needed to create lasting change. I also don't want therapy to feel stale or robotic. I will meet you where you are at, and incorporate creative techniques to meet your style.

I have found my own personal healing to be intimately connected to nature, and it is here that I believe that we can all begin to rediscover our intrinsic humanity and let go of those things that distract us from our higher selves. In my spare time, I work as an outdoor educator and manage my own private practice and guide Outdoor Retreats

I believe it is helpful and important to translate what is discussed in session and in telehealth meetings into lived experience and real change.
