Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Layton, UT


Hello and nice to meet you. I am a mental health therapist who helps individuals, couples, and families strengthen their connection to themselves and to others. My work centers on improving communication, deepening understanding, and creating meaningful change through authentic relationships.

With years of experience in trauma recovery, family systems, and communication dynamics, I support clients in uncovering patterns that affect how they relate and respond in their relationships. My background includes working with developmental/family of origin trauma, toxic and high conflict relationships, survivors of narcissistic abuse, relational trauma, and complex grief and loss. These experiences have shaped my understanding that healing and connection go hand in hand.
