I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s degree in Social Work and over five years of experience supporting adults ages 18 to 100. I specialize in working with individuals navigating chronic illness, chronic pain, addiction, complex grief, end-of-life concerns, and trauma.

I believe in meeting clients where they are, honoring their unique experiences, needs, and goals. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and non-judgmental, creating a caring and encouraging therapeutic environment where clients feel safe to explore challenges and develop meaningful coping skills. Through secure telehealth sessions, I work alongside clients to help them build resilience, find balance, and move toward the goals that matter most to them.

I know reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’re dealing with things that feel confusing, heavy, or even stigmatized. I’ve spent my career working in many corners of the mental health world—from individual and couples therapy to specialized work around sexual behavior and addiction, including involvement with the legal system and court settings. Because of this, I’m used to sitting with people in really tough situations, and I bring a steady, non-judgmental presence to whatever you’re going through.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. As a counselor, I have worked in public schools, adult and youth residential facilities, online counseling, wilderness programs, private practice, and mental health facilities. My areas of expertise include sexual abuse, domestic violence, substance abuse, parenting, and leadership. I have presented at many local, state, and national professional conferences and have taught many masters’ level mental health courses for the past 20+ years. Currently, I am the Assistant Program Director and Associate Professor of Counseling at Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions. Prior to my work in counseling and academia, I served a tour of duty in Germany as an officer in the US Army and then back in America as a bank branch manager. I graduated from Brigham Young University with degrees in Corporate Communications (BA) and Educational Psychology (M.Ed.) and at the University of the Cumberlands (Ph.D.) in Counselor Education and Supervision.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist I have been working with individuals, couples and families for over 20 years. I've observed that people have what it takes to find the peace and happiness they are looking for. I am confident that, together, we can find the solutions that will work for you.

Currently I work full time as a professor in Family Studies and Human Development, because I love studying what makes people tick, including the vital role relationships play in our formation and happiness. I've been a practicing Marriage and Family Therapist for over 17 years.

I am currently accepting new clients. I’m so glad you’re here. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel truly heard, respected, and understood. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, stress, self-esteem, and family conflict. Whatever you’re carrying, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth.

Hi I'm Blair, a licensed clinical social worker with experience in behavioral health, residential, and community-based settings. My work is rooted in a relational, intuitive approach, with a strong focus on the connection between mind and body. I care a lot about helping people reconnect, with themselves, their bodies, and the world around them. Outside of therapy, I’m deeply drawn to nature and have led outdoor programs for adolescents around the world, which continues to shape how I show up in this work. Because of this background, I am offering walk and talk sessions in addition to virtual. I aim to be authentic, present, and genuinely curious with the people I work with.

Hi, I’m Eliza Ale-Finks, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker with more than 10 years of experience in mental health and a Master of Social Work degree. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, and major life transitions. My experience includes supporting military personnel, first responders, and individuals navigating high levels of stress and significant change. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported.

When contemplating “resiliency,” I am reminded of the wisdom shared by Thich Nhat Hanh in his quote, “No Mud, No Lotus.” This succinctly encapsulates life’s challenges and the accompanying suffering. While we often yearn for happiness devoid of difficulties, I firmly believe that these struggles are indispensable for our overall well-being, akin to the lotus requiring mud to flourish.

My role involves helping clients recognize their potential to bloom into something remarkable, even amidst adversity when the path seems obscured. Through the integration of mindfulness, self-compassion, and trauma-informed methodologies, I facilitate a journey where clients unearth their inherent strengths and resilience, fostering transformative growth from within.

I have been described as a “down to earth” and “real” therapist. I like to believe these are accurate descriptors. I bring a plethora of experience to my therapy room; however, I recognize, acknowledge, and celebrate the client being the expert on their life. I provide a safe environment which allows my clients to be transparent without judgment. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help and it is definitely a risk. We need to remember there is no growth without risk!
