SEEING UTAH CLIENTS
I AM CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS, BUT GET ON THE WAITLIST HERE. I will reach out to clients in the chronological order when I do have openings.
What I work with: eating disorders, negative food and body image relationships, anxiety, depression, life transitions, etc.
I believe two of the biggest factors affecting the effectiveness of therapy are:
-
The relationship you have with your therapist.
-
The effort you put into therapy.
It's important that you are able to trust your therapist and feel comfortable talking with them. It's impossible for therapists not to bring their personalities into therapy, and mine frequently shows up through humor, warmth, validation, education, and empowerment.
It's also important to practice the things you learn in therapy. Therapy is only 1 hour out of 168 in your week. We'll choose "therapy homeworks" together, but it will be up to you to go home and complete them to bring yourself closer to your goals.

LICENSE AND EDUCATION
LICENSED CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER (LCSW)
Washington license number: LW61179151
Utah license number: 10872697-3501
MASTER OF SOCIAL WORK, NEW YORK UNIVERSITY
I often incorporate conversations surrounding oppression and privilege into sessions. If we aren't acknowledging the societal effects of racism, sexism, classism, ableism, ageism, and sizeism on our lives, we're leaving out a huge piece of the equation.
BACHELOR OF PSYCHOLOGY, BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY
I have a strong interest in research and evidence-based treatments. I am also familiar with faith and faith transitions and happy to talk about these subjects if it's something you'd like to incorporate into your treatment.
