This is a quote by Irvin Yalom, M.D., a renowned psychotherapist who saw that, more important than any particular technique, is the quality of the therapeutic relationship. I agree. While I regularly teach techniques to manage symptoms of distress, I believe that true growth and healing come from an empathic, honest, and transparent relationship with another human being.

Underneath the umbrella of a compassionate relationship, I utilize different approaches depending on the developmental age of the client and the presenting problem at hand. Approaches include CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, and Solution-focused Therapy. I was first licensed in California in 2012. I held positions in both inpatient and outpatient settings. When I came to Utah in 2021, I started working for Family Counseling Service and have been there ever since. It’s my favorite job of all time! My personal interests include books, cats, nature, and more.
