About My Clients

I help ex-Mormon women who feel lost, lonely, or overwhelmed after leaving the church. You might be questioning your identity, struggling with boundaries, or navigating relationships that feel complicated now. I provide a space where you don’t have to explain the culture—you can just be. Together, we’ll work on rebuilding your confidence, clarifying your values, and creating a life that feels authentic, even when it’s hard. You’re not broken—you’re becoming.

My Background and Approach

I’m a licensed therapist and former special education teacher, which gives me a deep understanding of both emotional resilience and family dynamics. I specialize in helping ex-Mormon women navigate faith transitions, religious trauma, identity shifts, and motherhood. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and self-compassion, I help clients heal from guilt, set boundaries, and rebuild their sense of self. Therapy with me is a space where you can process your past, trust yourself again, and create a life that aligns with *you.*

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As an ex-Mormon woman myself, I deeply understand the complexities of faith transitions, identity shifts, and the emotional toll of leaving a high-demand religion. I’m passionate about supporting women as they reclaim their autonomy, redefine their values, and heal from religious trauma. I’m a strong advocate for mental health awareness, LGBTQ+ rights, and social justice, believing that everyone deserves to live authentically without fear or shame. My work is rooted in compassion, inclusivity, and the belief that healing happens when we feel truly seen and accepted.
