ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Ogden, UT

I work with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns they cannot break. My approach is supportive but direct, helping you understand what is happening beneath the surface while also focusing on real, practical change. Therapy with me is not passive. We will have honest conversations, and I will both support and challenge you as we work toward meaningful progress.

I’m a Master’s-level social worker with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with evidence-based, compassionate care. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Utah Valley University and my Master’s degree in Social Work from University of Utah.

My clinical experience spans community mental health, nonprofit settings, residential treatment, and group practice, giving me a well-rounded perspective in supporting diverse populations across different levels of care.

Clinical Practice:

I have been in practice since 2006. I focus on holistic wellness with a foundational approach of existential therapy. I have been trained and have experience in multiple modalities and work to integrate them into my practice.

I have recently become licensed as an LCSW, however, I have over 20+ years in SUD and addictive behaviors as a person in long term recovery. I have worked in the treatment/behavioral health industry for over 15 years. I have been extensively immersed in DBT while working at my previous employer and have worked with those with dual diagnoses (SUD/mental health). I have been trained in all of the therapeutic approaches in my profile while working as a CSW prior to gaining full licensure.

I'm a wife, mom, stepmom, and grandma who loves spending time with family, being outdoors, and making meaningful memories. I believe that even in life's hardest seasons, peace is possible. I strive to bring that same warmth, hope, and authenticity into every session.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving clients across California, I offer a warm, down-to-earth space where you can show up fully as yourself. I especially enjoy working with men and the unique challenges they may carry, whether that means navigating relationships, stress, identity, anger, or simply feeling stuck. I’m also very comfortable working with people who have personality disorders, and I bring patience, honesty, and compassion to that work.

I am your partner in whole-person healing, and I am now accepting new patients. With nearly two decades of diverse nursing experience, my background spans psychiatry, oncology, palliative care, intensive care, hospice, and home health. This journey has given me a deep understanding of both physical and emotional health challenges.

I am known for building genuine connections with patients across all age groups. My approach is rooted in the belief that mental health is inseparable from physical well-being. I often view mental health symptoms not as disorders, but as signals of deeper imbalances—and I treat them with compassion and curiosity.
