Hello- I started my practice in a community mental health agency in the state of Utah gaining perspective and understanding of how poverty, addiction and Trauma, can truly impact a family dynamic. I have worked with families and individuals who have experienced anxiety, depression, abuse/neglect, parenting difficulties, addiction, stress, loss, and the frustrations of life. I would describe my approach as empathetic, warm, goal oriented, and client centered. I use Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Solution focused therapy, and Motivational interviewing to help clients set goals and objectives, and feel empowered once they have met their goals. I have been married for 16 years and we have 3 children. Both my husband and I work so navigating work and family life is always a task I can truly relate to. I look forward to talking with you.
