Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT #146188)

Connection, compassion, and growth are at the heart of my work. I believe every person has the capacity to heal and transform when offered a space of safety, trust, and understanding.

My goal is to help clients explore their stories with curiosity and grace—focusing not only on what they’re struggling with, but on the deeper meaning and purpose behind those experiences.

My therapeutic approach is integrative and relational, combining attachment-based therapy, the Gottman Method, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices. These approaches help clients strengthen relationships, increase self-awareness, and develop tools to manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.

As a Christian therapist, I value the role of faith as a powerful source of resilience, healing, and hope. I also understand the unique experiences of both LDS and post-LDS clients, including the complexities of faith transitions, identity, and family dynamics. My goal is to provide a space where individuals can explore their beliefs and values freely—whether they wish to integrate faith into therapy or simply feel seen and understood within their cultural and spiritual context.

I work extensively with couples, individuals, and veterans, supporting them through relationship repair, trauma recovery, and personal growth. My background as a PhD candidate in developmental psychology gives me a deep appreciation for how our earliest attachments and life experiences shape who we become—and how healing and change are possible at every stage of life.

I view therapy as sacred work: a partnership that honors the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. It is a space where understanding replaces shame, and growth unfolds through compassion, courage, and faith.
