I have been doing this wonderful work for about 16 years. And here are some important things I have learned along the way:

1.The more I grow, the less I know.

2. Life is a balancing act.

3. Shame cannot live where love exists.

I bring to you compassion, empathy and support for whatever needs you present with. I bring to you humor, quirkiness, and non-judgement. I will meet you where you are at and find your pattern and pace to heal forward.

I am originally from Green River, UT, and had been gone for some 20 years living in different states and cities. I went to college in Colorado, spent a summer in New York, half a year in Monroe, Louisianna, five months in Alicante, Spain studying Spanish, and then to Salt Lake City, Utah. My family and I decided to move back to Green River, Utah from the Salt Lake City area in 2019. Literally within months of the pandemic hitting. In Green River we have a beach, no stop lights, desert beauty, clean air, bright stars, and wonderful family. We love that we are raising our kids close to Papa and Grammy, Aunties, Uncles and Cousins.

I find that my niche and primary passion is treating trauma. Navigating trauma is scary, this I know, but I have never had someone unravel to their demise in the presence of researched and validated treatment approaches, unconditional positive regard and knowing that you are not alone. When we do work towards healing the trauma, I will make sure that you know I have your back.

I have worked in many different areas of the field and bring an eclectic approach. This includes years of experience treating depression, anxiety, phobias, addictions, mood disorders, personality disorders, and psychosis. I have experience working in residential and outpatient treatment centers, working with the criminal justice system, first responders, military and veterans, primary care/medical, adolescent and adult populations.

I am passionate about my work, and I know that you will feel this. I know that trust is built and takes time when people have been hurt over and over again. I will take as much time as is needed to earn your trust.
