I am licensed in Utah with 20 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with depression, stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, substance use, & trauma and abuse. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I use a collaborative approach in which I work with clients to jointly define goals for treatment.
I am trained as a Marriage and Family Therapist, but I have ample experience working with individuals as well. I use a variety of approaches- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Experiential Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy.
That said, I find that the fit between client and therapist often matters more than the particular approach, and I place a great deal of importance on establishing and maintaining an effective therapeutic alliance.
It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
Also- my schedule is somewhat flexible most weeks. If you are looking for an appointment and don't see a time that works, please message me and I will see what I can do to fit you in. However, please note that I typically do not see clients in the evenings or on weekends.

I feel very safe to share deep topics I have needed to address my whole life. He is patient and understanding and I have been able to make great progress with his help and hope to make even more progress to a healthier happier life. He always has a happy disposition, I feel like I matter when I speak with him and am really heard. He is genuine and sensitive to my emotions when we address heavy topics. It means so much to feel safe when facing my fears. I would recommend this therapist to anyone who needs a kind, gentle, yet effective approach to therapy.
