Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Negotiating the challenges of everyday life is not easy. It’s especially more difficult if you are struggling with other issues like anxiety, depression, significant life changes, sexual identity, relationship struggles, trauma or addiction. A life out a balance is not a self-fulfilled life! Giving yourself permission to acknowledge what is not working and wanting to talk to someone is a courageous step. Therapy should be an opportunity for you to share your struggles in a judgment free compassionate environment. My style is to provide a space where vulnerability and authenticity are welcome. I also know that to make change, it takes encouragement and sometimes a little push. If you are ready to start your journey to being happier and more fulfilled in your life, I would like to be your guide.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah and have been in the field of social work for 29 years. I have two undergraduate degrees from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, UT, and a Master’s in Social Work Degree from Smith College in Northampton, MA. In addition to doing clinical work, I teach at the college level. As a result of living all over the United States, I have worked with many diverse populations and welcome the opportunity to continue to do so.
I currently specialize in working with individuals and couples on relationship issues and sexual wellness. I assist clients with sexual issues and concerns, including, but not limited to: intimacy issues; infidelity; communication; sexual pleasure; sexual function and dysfunction; sexual variation; sexuality/gender identity; and sexual functioning over the life span. The approach I use for supporting a client is tailored to each individual’s unique needs, and is often eclectic, meaning a combination of several therapies. My early training was based in the psychodynamic approach of Object Relations. As my focus changed to include couples in my practice, I now utilize a variety of treatment modalities, with the emphasis being on Attachment Based Therapy, Relational Life Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. I have come to deeply appreciate that no matter who the person, circumstance or diagnosis, it is empathy, compassion and equanimity that are the greatest gifts I carry into therapeutic relationships.

For many common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions – online therapy can be just as effective as traditional in-person care. It offers an accessible option for those seeking support without sacrificing therapeutic benefit.
One of the main advantages is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that suits them best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to reach help from different locations.
All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they want a different fit. For many people, online therapy provides a practical, effective way to address common mental health and relationship concerns while accommodating the realities of everyday life.
