LCSW
Accepting Clients

I am an LCSW and have been practicing as a therapist for 4 years. I have 4 years of experience working with addiction and complex trauma.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Sandy, UT

About My Clients

My ideal clients are individuals ages 16 and older who are navigating mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, or other addictive patterns. I find that I do my best work with individuals, supporting them in gaining insight, building emotional awareness, and working toward meaningful change. I also work with couples experiencing difficulties with emotional regulation, as well as those facing betrayal, trust issues, or disconnection within their relationship.

My Background and Approach

I incorporate modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to help clients move beyond purely logical processing and access deeper emotional healing. I began my clinical work in a group private practice, where I specialized in sexual addiction and betrayal trauma. Through that experience, I developed a strong passion for working with individuals and couples navigating these challenges. I then transitioned to an outpatient setting specializing in substance use, where I have spent the past two years deepening my understanding of how addiction affects individuals, couples, and families. This work has reinforced my belief that addiction and trauma are closely intertwined and must be addressed together for meaningful, lasting change.I have been certified in ART for nearly four years and primarily use it to help clients uncover the root causes of their pain, integrating it with IFS to support a more comprehensive and compassionate healing.
