There are so many great therapists out there. You may be wondering, "How do I choose one for me or my family member?" What makes a great therapist for you is not only their training and skill set, but largely what the "fit" feels like for you. While therapy can be challenging at times, if you are working with someone you respect and trust, those challenges will lead to the growth and healing you are looking for. In your initial sessions pay attention to whether this connection is present.
My goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life. We will do this through gaining understanding and insight about your situation and increasing self awareness through new avenues. Also, we will learn self regulation skills and build a tool box that you can use to improve your life and relationships outside of and beyond therapy. Self compassion, confidence and healing are reached as we work at your pace from your place.
Hello! I am a mother, a wife, a sister, an aunt, a daughter and a friend. I also was an elementary and middle school teacher for five years before I realized that the social and emotional health of my students was the most intriguing part of the job to me. I received my masters in social work from the University of Utah and then went on to gain experience working in Utah and Oregon at all levels of care from in schools to the inpatient setting. I primarily work with adults doing individual or couples therapy. I also provide parent coaching and see teens and young adults. I look forward to the opportunity to get to know who YOU are.
My furry co-therapist is Hazel. She is in the office most days and is the softest and sweetest golden you will ever meet. She will sit and snuggle with you on the couch or lay at our feet. If you are allergic or just prefer to not have her in the office during our session there are days she isn't present that we can use.
