About

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Utah and the Idaho, and I have been practicing clinical social work since 2010. I am trained in EMDR and IFS, and I am passionate about treating trauma.

As a therapist, I value client wellness above all else. This means our work together will focus on more than alleviating your symptoms; we will work together to achieve your personal goals and enhance your quality of life and relationships.

I have a 500-hour Clinical Yoga Practitioner certification and utilize this skill set along with EMDR and other modalities to focus on the mind-body connection in mental health treatment.

Beyond trauma, my areas of focus include attachment, anxiety, grief, and stress management. I have a history of working with individuals and families. I have worked with many other areas of clinical concern, and would be happy to discuss questions that you may have to see if I would be the right fit for you.

Therapeutic modalities used include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS-Informed), Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Clinical Yoga Therapy, Mindful Self-Compassion, and Narrative Therapy.

I earned a Master’s in Social Work from Boise State University in 2010. I attended Pepperdine University for my undergraduate education, where I earned a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Bachelor’s in Sociology in 2007.

I believe that well-being comes from many sources, and challenge my clients to find a version of this that makes sense for themselves, through nature, connection, movement, self-compassion, and finding meaning. True well-being cannot be found through therapy alone. I try to practice a multifaceted approach to wellness in my own life, just as much as I encourage my clients to do so! Some of the ways that I find well-being are hiking, gardening, reading, playing with my dog, friends, and family, painting, and seeking laughter.
