Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah, Colorado, Texas, and Florida, as well as a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Iowa. With over 20 years of experience as a therapist, I bring both depth and diversity to my work. I was first licensed in Iowa and have practiced in Nevada, Utah, and even internationally in Australia.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with a wide range of clients and settings—from a girls’ residential treatment facility to community-based programs supporting foster care and juvenile justice youth, and even within a men’s medium-security prison focusing on rehabilitation and reintegration. I’ve served as a therapist, clinical supervisor, deputy senior clinician, and senior clinician, and most recently, as Clinical Director of a residential treatment facility specializing in attachment issues.
I earned both my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Master of Social Work from the University of Northern Iowa. In addition to my formal education, I have advanced training in Functional Family Therapy (FFT), Schema Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and the Good Lives Model (GLM). My approach to therapy is strengths-based, drawing primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing within the GLM framework. I have experience providing therapy with individuals, families, and groups, and I value the opportunity to work with clients from diverse backgrounds.
Outside of work, I find balance through travel, hiking, paddleboarding, backpacking, and camping. I’m also a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer and strongly believe in the connection between physical health and mental health—advocating for sleep, movement, and nutrition as key components of wellness. Animals hold a special place in my heart as well; my dog Boomer used to join me for in-person sessions in Utah and still makes the occasional guest appearance in telehealth sessions.

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or managing life transitions, online therapy is often as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that suits them best, choosing from video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use formats that feel most comfortable.
Therapists who offer online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch providers if they need a different fit. For many people, remote therapy makes consistent, evidence-informed care more accessible without sacrificing therapeutic quality.
