CMHC
I wholeheartedly embrace the unique dignity and independence of my clients, creating a atmosphere of safety and empowerment to tackle challenges head-on. It’s an absolute honor to be present with individuals during their toughest times, to cherish their stories, and to witness the incredible healing journey that unfolds within our counseling relationship.
About Me
“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." –Lamentations 3:22 NRSV I grew up as a military dependent, moving to new places nearly every three years. When I moved to Utah in 2000, it was the first time I began to feel rooted in a place. God has been leading me on a journey of discovering belonging and recognizing my own belovedness in His eyes, and that has allowed me to see the belovedness and humanity of others. I am passionate about coming alongside people as they journey toward finding hope and healing. I have spent many years doing this, especially in church and parachurch ministry organizations. With that passion and experience, I completed a bachelor’s degree in ministry in 2015, and a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program in 2022. I have experience working with a wide variety of issues, including PTSD, sexual abuse/assault, spiritual abuse/religious trauma, depression, anxiety, loss/grief, guilt/shame, suicide, self-harm, codependency, individual growth, women's issues, and relationship difficulties. I have worked with individuals, couples, and adolescents. I have experience working from a variety of methodologies, including existential, mindfulness, embodiment, and internal family systems theory, with a reliance on a person-centered approach. I focus on the inherent dignity and autonomy of my clients, cultivating a sense of safety and empowerment to address challenges. It is my privilege to sit with people in their difficult moments and to hold their stories, to be a witness to the work of healing that takes place in the counseling relationship.
