Validating, compassionate, and safe. I strive to be trauma-informed and to lead first with a desire to understand with validation and empathy.

My approach is focused on balancing acceptance and change--I want to help you build the life you want to live and change the things you want to change. I want to help you do this from a place of deep self-acceptance regardless of how hard change is!

We will help you validate your own experiences with love and compassion, build a life you are excited to wake up to, and heal from inner wounds and trauma. I want to help you get un-stuck and feel yourself making progress!

Many of the people I work with have felt stuck for a long time. I specialize in working with chronic suicidal ideation, intense emotions/reactions, complex trauma, difficulty with interpersonal relationships, and dissociation/emotional numbness.

Learning to understand what makes sense about another person's experiences, behaviors, and emotions is a true joy and privilege.

We are one of only 2 practices in Utah Valley offer comprehensive DBT--a therapy specialized in treating suicidal ideation and borderline tendencies.

I strive to build genuine and open working relationships with my clients. I value feedback from my clients, and work to create an environment where people can feel authentic and bring their whole selves to their sessions.
