About My Clients

I specialize in counseling Latter-day Saint women in midlife and beyond who are often navigating difficult life challenges. Whether you're facing being unexpectedly single, marital issues, divorce, blended family dynamics, parenting teens, serious health concerns, widowhood, or the impact of loved ones stepping away from the Church, I'm here to help. If you're experiencing stress, anxiety, panic, insomnia, or depression, please reach out. I’m here to give you the support you need.

My Background and Approach

At True Help Therapy, you are my priority. By actively listening to you, I can gain an understanding of your concerns, and build a trusting relationship with you. Once I have gained a deep understanding of your needs, I will use proven techniques such as CBT, EMDR Therapy, and the Flash Technique to guide you through your challenges and empower your personal growth and transformation. If you've been grappling with long-standing anxiety or depression, there may be underlying unresolved trauma that still affects you. Addressing this root cause is crucial for healing from emotional problems. That's why I specialize in trauma therapy, particularly EMDR Therapy. It can make a significant difference in resolving anxiety, depression, PTSD, and more, even when previous therapies have fallen short. By addressing the core issue, true emotional healing becomes attainable.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Counseling was a huge part of what helped me be ready to help you. Overcoming my own losses and pain with the support of a compassionate CBT therapist enabled me to move forward, forgive, find purpose, and experience inner peace. Later, EMDR Therapy played a pivotal role in reigniting my career. After failing a crucial exam twice and feeling paralyzed by test anxiety, just three sessions with an EMDR Therapist made a remarkable difference—I passed the test and bid farewell to test anxiety forever. EMDR also helped me conquer my fear of dogs, and now I cherish our two furry companions. At True Help Therapy, our mission is to provide healing therapy that empowers you to overcome challenges, find meaning, and embrace a purposeful life. Drawing from my personal experiences and the success stories of those I've guided, I know firsthand that this transformative journey is possible for you, too.
