Hey, there!  Thank you for getting to know more about me as a clinician.   A little about me personally: I live in Utah with my partner, Rob, and our children, fur baby, and chickens. I dabble in Homesteading as part of my own therapeutic work – and just for fun.  I love to create – whether its a watercolor piece of art, a crocheted afghan, or a batch of gooey cinnamon rolls.  Anything “cozy” is my jam.

As a therapist, I work with couples to repair and help the support them in creating deeper, intimacy and connection. Utilizing Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy as well as intermingling Psychodrama and Internal Family Systems (parts work), and Mindfulness I support clients in their journey back home to themselves.

Navigating sexual health, intimacy, and connection can be a complicated, yet meaningful process. I work with a broad range of sexual issues, including out of control sexual behavior/sexual addiction, post cancer-sex, erectile dysfunction, rapid/early ejaculation, vaginismus/dysperunia, safe sex, infidelity, loss of desire, gap in desire, kink/BDSM, LGBTQ+, polyamory, pornography concerns, and resolving conflict between spirituality and sexuality. In addition, I educate parents regarding how to create shame-free conversations with their children about sex.

I am very grateful to be in the career field of clinical mental health and sex therapy.  Over my lifespan, I have been acquainted with my own ‘brokenness’ and sifted through childhood and adult trauma, which has led me to an understanding – a real knowing – that there is growth and expansion to be found in healing.  I’ve been in processes of grief, been privileged to uncover and get to know my own voice without persistent feelings of shame bubbling up the way they frequently know how.  All of my own work has given me the privilege of sitting deeper with someone else’ in their pain.

My goal is to create a judgment-free space, where healing and growth can occur. If you feel that I might be a good match to support you in your journey, please feel free to reach out to our office for a free 15-minute phone consultation.
