Great to meet you!

I’ve spent over 22 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, helping people just like you navigate life’s biggest challenges. I'm licensed in Texas, Utah, Arizona, and Nevada.

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.

Maybe you're tired of feeling anxious or depressed. Maybe you're working through a difficult loss or a past trauma. Whatever brings you here, we'll work together to find a path that feels right for you.

You will set the pace and the agenda of our sessions. One week we may work on day to day obstacles. The next week, we may work on past issues and traumas. It's YOUR TIME!

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I generally

refer to and use a number of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy skills. I also incorporate DBT

skills when applicable. My fields of expertise are stress reduction, using mindfulness

practice, as well as meditation. I understand the importance of healing from trauma and feel

confident in helping a client through that process. I also specialize in grief and loss issues,

addictions, also unhealthy relationships with food and/or body image issues.

What you can expect from me

During the first session, we will spend time talking and getting to know each other. I’ll share

my approach to therapy and will want the client to share their expectations and needs. If the

client doesn't feel a connection, I don't take it personally. I want the client to find the very

best match possible for them. Finding a therapist is an extremely important decision.
