I developed an interest in psychology from a young age. I love what I do! Helping people heal is never just a “job” to me. The connection I have with those I work with gives me meaning and purpose.
I specialize in treating adults experiencing the effects of faith-related issues and/or sexual issues. Sex therapy may include addressing sexual shame, LGBTQ+ issues, anxiety, relationship issues, sexual dysfunction, libido differences, and sexual trauma. I am affirming of queer, non-monogamous, and kinky clients. Faith/religious issues may include faith transitions, mixed-faith marriages, excessive guilt, OCD tendencies, and limiting core beliefs. I am affirming of clients' personal values related to their faith, wherever they are on the spectrum of belief. Whatever you are currently facing, I want to welcome you into a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can explore and progress.
I provide a secular approach and am skilled in utilizing EMDR, ACT, CBT, DBT, ERP, Mind-Body Bridging, and Mindfulness. The type of therapy people need in order to heal is as individual as they are. We can work together to find which methods are right for you.
I am a white, cis, bisexual, mostly able-bodied, post-Mormon, secular woman. I was born and raised in Utah and have 3 sisters, who I am very close to. I have a spouse and 2 dogs who I adore. I love to spend time with family and friends, travel, and enjoy the beauty of Utah through biking, hiking, and skiing.
I look forward to meeting you!
