I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Utah and specialize in working with adults and older teens facing a wide range of challenges, including trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, women's issues, and life transitions.
I strive to meet clients where they are, using approaches that help them reconnect with their heart, body, mind, and spirit. I believe healing happens when these parts of ourselves are integrated and working together, allowing us to move through both life's challenges and joys with greater resilience, authenticity, and grounded presence.
Along with traditional talk therapy, I use a variety of evidence-based and experiential approaches to support healing, including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (parts work), art therapy, mindfulness-based CBT, and somatic awareness and nervous system regulation techniques. Together, we'll discover the approaches that best support your unique needs and goals.
Horses have been a lifelong love and source of healing in my own life. It is an honor to serve as a guide in equine-assisted psychotherapy, helping facilitate the healing connection between horses and humans. Horses naturally invite us into greater presence, self-awareness, authenticity, and healing in ways that are often difficult to access through words alone.
The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and determine whether we're a good fit. I'll spend time learning about what brings you to therapy, your history, your strengths, and what you hope to gain from our work together. You'll also have the opportunity to ask questions and get a sense of my approach. Together, we'll begin identifying your goals and discuss the approaches that may best support your healing. If we decide we're a good fit, we'll create a plan that feels collaborative and aligned with your unique needs.
