I am passionate about creating places of sanctuary for my clients. I wholeheartedly believe in the healing power of safe connection in the wake of traumatic experiences, big and small. My approach to therapy includes IFS, EMDR, EFT/EFIT, polyvagal theory, somatosensory mindfulness, and all creative media. 

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a complex PTSD clinical focus. I received my graduate training from Utah Valley University, where I deepened my respect for the painful and beautiful work of graciously re-storying trauma. 

I find joy in all sorts of hobbies but am especially drawn to creative writing, cosplay, painting, musical theater, CrossFit, reading, and playing Dungeons and Dragons. After a busy day, I love to connect with friends at the gym and unwind with a good book or show!
