I am a seasoned therapist with over a decade of experience in child welfare, multisystemic therapy (MST), and crisis intervention for both children and adults. I offer person-centered and trauma-informed interventions that include strengths-focused and mindfulness-based practices. As a radical social and racial justice allied therapist, my approach is rooted in a decolonial mindset, ensuring therapy is free of spiritual bypassing and toxic positivity, focusing on genuine healing and empowerment.

Compassionate, Goal-Oriented Care for Trauma & Mental Health

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in trauma, PTSD, chronic pain, and treatment-resistant mental health conditions. With over 20 years of experience, I take a goal-oriented, intensive, and patient-directed approach to therapy, integrating EMDR, somatic therapy, and Trauma-Focused ACT (TFACT) to help clients reclaim their lives.

I have extensive experience working with veterans, law enforcement, and individuals navigating complex trauma, as well as those dealing with functional neurological disorders, chronic pain, and severe anxiety or depression. My practice offers structured treatment programs, including EMDR intensives, pain management programs, and immersive healing experiences tailored to your unique needs.

I believe in the deep connection between the mind and body and incorporate physical movement, self-defense principles, and mindfulness-based techniques into my work when beneficial. Whether you're seeking relief from trauma, chronic pain, or emotional distress, I provide a direct yet compassionate approach to help you heal and move forward.

I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward resilience and recovery.

We all feel a little off now and then. If you’ve been wondering if counseling might be helpful, you’ve come to the right place! Asking for help is the first step to a better you, and is a sign of strength, not weakness. Therapy can bring clarity to a life hijacked by life's challenges.

Hello and Welcome! I began my LCSW career as a therapist at the University Neuropsychiatric Institute (now Huntsman Mental Health Institute, or HMHI) and several Employee Assistant Programs (EAP’s) before opening my own private practice.

With a strong foundation in diagnosing and treating acute mental illnesses, I now focus primarily on helping clients facing less severe but impactful mental health issues. My areas of specialization include depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, relationship challenges, anger management, and childhood-related problems and primarily work with adults and older adolescents.

Though it may not be immediately visible, I bring extensive experience working with diverse populations, including LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, neurodivergent (ND), and neurotypical (NT) individuals. I openly invite questions and conversations around these topics, emphasizing my inclusive and affirming approach.

Beyond my clinical work, I am passionate about the outdoors and enjoy Utah’s rich natural offerings, including hiking, camping, scuba diving, skiing, sailing, and climbing. A dedicated traveler, I’ve visited approximately 75 countries, with extended stays in the majority of them. My extroverted nature fuels a deep curiosity about people and their unique life experiences.

As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 10 years, I work with a plethora of inter-generational clients aged 21-90 who are struggling with anxiety and depression and trauma.

As a chaplain, I take a psycho-spiritual approach and work with clients assisting with intercultural issues, blended family dynamics, religiosity challenges and grief & loss.

As someone with OCD, I know what it's like to be stuck in your head all day. My own lifelong journey of healing energizes the work I do with my clients. I graduated from the University of Utah in 2020, and have since helped many people live better lives.

I'm not your blank-slate, nod-and-smile therapist. I’m here to help you dig deep, reconnect with your body, and create lasting change. My approach blends mind-body tools, somatic work, and nervous system education with straight-up truth and compassion. Clients often say I give them permission—to feel deeply, question old narratives, and explore what’s been off-limits in their healing. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, motherhood, trauma, or relationships, I create a space where you feel both held and challenged. Therapy with me is collaborative, embodied, and real.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Yoga Teacher with advanced training in somatic trauma work. I specialize in women’s issues, anxiety, trauma, and postpartum mental health, and I also supervise emerging therapists. My fully online practice serves clients across Florida, Utah, and Ohio.

Accepting change and working on your personal growth can be challenging. Right now, you are taking the necessary steps to grow. I am excited to meet with you and discuss your needs and ways to achieve your therapeutic goals. I work together with clients to set goals that can help address their needs and inspire insight and growth. I have worked extensively with adolescents both individually and within their relationships with parents and peers.
