- LMFT
As a licensed therapist in Utah with over three decades of clinical experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each client's unique journey. I have extensive expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, and grief counseling.
My practice centers on helping clients navigate profound personal transformations, including healing from past wounds, rebuilding self-worth, and developing healthier communication patterns. I'm particularly committed to supporting men, young adults, and individuals experiencing workplace stress, family transitions, and interpersonal challenges.
Drawing from a trauma-informed and culturally responsive framework, I create a safe, affirming therapeutic space where clients can explore their experiences, confront difficult emotions, and cultivate meaningful personal growth. My goal is to empower you to develop resilience, self-understanding, and sustainable strategies for emotional well-being.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
