About me
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Utah with over 12 years of experience working as a mental health counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, adjustment issues, grief/loss, trauma, childhood abuse, addiction, and ADHD. I also have experience completing risk assessments in a psychiatric hospital and experience managing a family advocacy program in the U.S. Air Force.
My counseling style is kind, empathetic, non-judgmental, optimistic, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, solution-focused brief therapy, rational-emotive behavioral therapy, the John Gottman method for couples, along with limited principles of somatic experiencing, and dialectical behavioral therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling & happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
