LGBT therapists in Layton, UT

I'm a licensed therapist and social worker who supports teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, and neurodivergence.

I'm crisis-trained, LGBTQIA-affirming, and bring both warmth and practicality to my work. I draw from DBT, CBT, ACT, and mindfulness to help my clients feel grounded, empowered, and in charge of their own story.

I earned my degrees at the University of Utah and completed my clinical training at Huntsman Mental Health Institute and the University of Utah Hospital, where I worked with clients working through complex physical and mental health conditions. I have particular experience working with depression, anxiety, Autism and ADHD, behavioral concerns, chronic mental health conditions, and clients facing self-harm or suicidal thoughts.

I am a compassionate and dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over two decades of experience across a wide range of therapeutic settings, including family, adolescent, individual, group, adult, outpatient, residential, and day programs. I help clients enhance their quality of life by using evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

I provide a non Judgmental, positive environment for all populations I serve. I have a no nonsense, direct approach to therapy.

Struggling with depression, anxiety, self-doubt, or major life changes can feel overwhelming and isolating. Whether you're facing a difficult transition, working through past experiences, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, you don't have to navigate it alone.

I work with adults and young adults to manage anxiety, heal from trauma, strengthen self-esteem, and build greater confidence in themselves and their decisions. My approach is supportive, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs, helping you identify both the challenges you face and the strengths you already possess.

Together, we’ll create a personalized plan for growth that is realistic, empowering, and grounded in your values and goals. My goal is to help you develop practical tools, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.
