My personal belief is therapy is a space for growth, discovery, and healing. It’s a brave step, and I’m here to guide you.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I look at the web of relationships and environment that shape who you are. I draw on strengths that you may have overlooked (and help you develop new ones) to get you where you want to go.
I have a seasoned background in both faith-based and nondenominational family dynamics. I have had the honor of helping couples and individuals build healthy parameters for their future. If you are at a crossroads -- whether it is a new phase of life (e.g., marriage, job, separation) or you are simply looking for a fresh approach to life -- I can help.
I view each person as uniquely valuable, interesting, and powerful. Because I am so convinced of your potential, I am committed to spending the quality time you need to recognize these traits in yourself and make a real impact in your relationships. Wherever life finds you at this moment, there is a bright path ahead! Let’s discover it together.

I strive to be warm, approachable, easy to talk to, and an excellent listener. I am not here to judge you. I am a mother of three children who are all grown up and I’ve experienced more than my fair share of life challenges. I don’t recommend any treatments or practices that I myself have not used.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right couples therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Salt Lake City
Finding couples therapists in Salt Lake City starts with understanding what you want to work on together. Couples therapy may support partners navigating communication concerns, recurring conflict patterns, trust after infidelity, major life changes, or parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in couples care, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list couples-focused approaches, such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy, in their bios.
In Salt Lake City, the right fit often depends on both clinical experience and practical details. You may want a therapist with an office near downtown, Sugar House, or the University of Utah area, or you may prefer virtual marriage counseling if it works better for both schedules. Since couples therapy requires one therapist who fits both partners, compare appointment times, session structure, and whether a brief phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist profiles can also help you understand how each therapist works with couples before you book.
Couples therapy in Salt Lake City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and filter by virtual or in-person care. You can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
