I have spent much of my career working with adolescents and young adults after receiving my Master of Social Work from the University of Utah in 2008.

With that, I primarily lean on the principles of DBT, ACT, CBT, MI, Seven Challenges, Narrative therapy and EMDR/Trauma informed approaches. I also have experience with substance use and problematic media and technology use. As a psychedelic-assisted therapist, I believe in set and setting as a foundation for growth.

I also enjoy cooking and listening to live music.
