I am deeply interested in how people make meaning of their lives, their relationships, and themselves, especially when the story they have been living no longer fits. I work with adults and couples who feel disconnected from who they are, from each other, or from the life they thought they were building. Often, my clients are navigating relationship distress, intimacy concerns, faith transitions, identity shifts, or the quiet weight of old wounds that keep resurfacing no matter how much effort they put into “doing better.” In Utah’s unique cultural landscape, I work with both LDS and non-LDS clients, holding space for a wide range of lived experiences with respect and care. I am especially attentive to how religious messaging, cultural expectations, and generational patterns shape identity, intimacy, self-trust, and the stories people tell themselves about who they are allowed to be. My work is grounded in trauma-informed, attachment-based care. I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman principles, humanistic, and somatic approaches to help people feel safer in their bodies, clearer in their relationships, and more anchored in themselves. Healing, in my view, is not about fixing what is broken, but about restoring connection, presence, and choice. Alongside my clinical work, I see myself as a freedom fighter for human connection. After more than 15 years working in PR and content marketing, I understand the power of stories. I also understand how easily people learn to perform, curate, and disconnect from what is true. In a digital world shaped by constant screens and surface-level interaction, my work centers on building social resilience, the capacity to stay human, communicate honestly, and repair when connection breaks. I offer a collaborative and shame-free space where clients can stop performing and start healing. Together, we explore patterns, rebuild trust, deepen intimacy, and create relationships and lives that feel more authentic and aligned. As a Clinical Mental Health Counselor Intern (CMHC-I) under supervision, I bring both clinical training and lived experience into the counseling room. Starting counseling takes courage, and you do not have to do this alone. Whatever you are carrying, your story matters here. I would be honored to help you reconnect to your own voice and shape a story worth living.
