It has been a privilege to provide psychotherapy to a variety of clients for over 20 years.

Originally from Ohio, I moved to Utah in 2003 to provide therapeutic outdoor experiences to youth and families. 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. As a LCSW, I think its valuable to utilize resources specific to an individual instead of resources specific to a therapist. 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 spend much of my free time outdoors and sleep better under the stars. I love the mountain and desert surroundings that Utah provides and can often be found boating, skiing, hiking, backpacking and traveling the western U.S. I am also a land steward in Cache Valley, raising a menagerie of animals and vegetables. I also enjoy cooking and listening to live music.

Utilizing evidence-based therapies such as EMDR, Gottman couples therapy, CBT, and DBT. I am available most weekdays.
I help individuals with navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, faith transitions, and religious trauma. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or their values, and we work together to create meaningful, sustainable change.
I am EMDR trained and draw from attachment-based approaches, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I also have pursued and continue to pursue specialized training focused on understanding and treating religious trauma.
It can take work and lots of practice to find the key to balance in your life. I personally find my balance through ongoing self-care, self-reflection, and movement.

I also enjoy supporting clients through major life transitions, including shifts in identity, relationships, and belief systems.
I am thoughtful about diagnosis and do not rush to label or pathologize clients. Instead, I focus on understanding the full picture of what you’re experiencing and creating a treatment plan that feels relevant, practical, and aligned with your goals.
I strive to provide an open-minded, culturally responsive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic space. I welcome conversations around diverse relationship structures, including ethical non-monogamy (ENM), as well as faith transitions, spiritual exploration, and deconstruction.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Utah
Searching for therapists in Utah can be easier with a clear sense of what you want support with and what kind of therapist fits those needs. Utah includes larger metro areas and more rural communities, so available therapists and specialties can vary by location. If you want support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or stress, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match what you want to address. Reading profiles can also help you compare therapy styles, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Your search may look different in Salt Lake City, Provo, Ogden, Utah County, or smaller communities across the state. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual therapy because it fits their schedule or expands their options. As you compare therapists, check whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that work for you, and provide a free phone consultation. A therapist’s bio can help you understand how they structure sessions, how they communicate, and what kinds of concerns they commonly support.
The cost of therapy in Utah can vary, and paying without insurance can become a significant expense. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket cost for mental health care. Headway helps you find Utah therapists who are accepting new patients, see estimated costs before booking, and compare options that may fit your needs, schedule, and insurance plan. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, so you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
