About Me

ANXIETY THERAPIST

Hey! I don’t want to bore you with therapy words or jargon that don’t make sense to you or me. I know what you are here for is to find out if I’m going to be able to understand and help you. So here’s what I think you’re going to care about: 

My clients appreciate that I am gentle and warm. I’m genuine, and I want you to feel validated for the painful experiences and challenges you’re dealing with. Those I work with have said they have appreciated my sense of humor and being able to balance it amidst the heavy and hard stuff.  I recognize and appreciate you are sharing with me things you’ve been afraid to say out loud to anyone else. I recognize this risk, and I will be sensitive to this. I know being vulnerable suuuuucks and therapy can be hard. It’s also gonna be life-changing, and it’s where the healing begins. I’ve been learning and caring about eating disorders for more than half of my life, and I know your story is going to mean so much to me.

I do my best work with those ready to do what it takes to make changes. The clients I work with are ready to work and dig deep. They’ll do anything to feel better. I love working with women who struggle with anxiety (even though they may not know it’s anxiety) because they are goal-oriented and kind. They are the hardest workers I have ever known which is a great cocktail for getting better. I enjoy working with women in their 20’s,30’s, and 40’s. It’s never too late to get the life you want. You can read more about why I became a therapist if you fancy.

Outside of being a therapist, I have two Goldendoodles whom I love. I’m a fan of Taylor Swift and spending time in the outdoors. I love riding my bike through Snow Canyon State Park outside of St. George and recommend everyone have the experience.

EDUCATION AND TRAINING (you can skip this)

This is the boring stuff, but some people are dying to know if  I’m a Ute or Cougar, but I’m Switzerland in that holy war.

I graduated from Southern Utah University in Cedar City, Utah, with a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Bachelor’s in Family Life and Human Develop. I received my Master’s in Social Work from Utah State University in Logan, Utah.

I have worked in residential treatment centers with at-risk youth and adolescents in foster care. I have also worked at Center for Change, an inpatient eating disorder psychiatric hospital working with adolescent and adult women at all levels of care.

I am trained in EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and believe it’s a powerful tool in therapy. You can learn more about it through EMDRIA.

I know you’ll read over this site 10-15 times, and that’s just fine because I’d be doing the same thing. When you’re ready to do this, I’m committed to helping you get better and move on to a better life.
