About
I was born and raised in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I served a mission in Boston, Massachusetts and have served as a temple worker twice.
I went to Brigham Young University and graduated with a bachelor's degree in Family Life with a minor in Psychology and a Master's degree in Social Work. I was married in the temple and I have two kids. I love the beach and Taylor Swift.
Most importantly I am a licensed therapist in California and believe in the power of healing and reclaiming your authenticity.
I say all of this because I want you to know that I know what it is like to devote all that you are to a religion and then have your breaking point wondering what to do next, I know what it is like to try and change harmful culture and live with pervasive cognitive dissonance. It is tough and I can help.
My Approach
Using a trauma informed approach I help you heal from your past and discover your most authentic self so that you can build a life on your terms.
I pull from multiple modalities and often utilize CBT, DBT skills, values work, and parts work. I am LGBTQ + affirming and am body positive.
After an assessment we'll create a treatment plan together to address your most pressing needs and will get to the healing!
