About My Clients
My clients are often the ones holding everything together for their families, their jobs, their relationships, while quietly struggling inside. I work with teens, adults, and parents navigating anxiety, body shame, people-pleasing, and attachment wounds. I also work with individuals questioning or leaving high-control religious systems. If you've spent years shrinking yourself to fit someone else's expectations, you're in the right place.
My Background and Approach
I'm a licensed master social worker with training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, a body-based approach that helps your nervous system process what talk therapy alone sometimes can't reach. My work is grounded in attachment theory and an understanding of how early relationships and the systems we grow up in shape the way we see ourselves and move through the world. I work with anxiety, trauma, body image, and relational patterns. For parents of teens, I help you move from "fix-it" mode into something steadier so you can show up as a grounded presence rather than an anxious participant in your child's stress. Every intervention I use is connected to a real outcome: more ease in your body, more authentic relationships, and a quieter inner critic. We don't pathologize you here. We get curious about where those patterns came from and what it might feel like to not need them anymore.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe therapy works best when you don't have to perform wellness or shrink yourself to be accepted. I'm LGBTQ+ affirming and committed to creating space where all identities are welcome. I work through a body autonomy lens, meaning your relationship with your body is yours to define and we explore it with curiosity rather than judgment. I bring personal understanding to religious trauma and faith deconstruction. I grew up in the Mormon church and have genuine familiarity with the structures, language, and expectations of high-control religious systems, including Christianity and Jehovah's Witnesses. Whether you're stepping away from a tradition, grieving a community, or finding your own way to practice and believe, you're welcome here. Faith doesn't have to be all or nothing. I care deeply about therapy that accounts for the bigger picture, the messages people absorbed about their body, their worth, and who they're allowed to be. That shapes everything.
