KNOW YOUR THERAPIST
WHAT DID YOU GET YOUR DEGREE(S) IN AND WHERE FROM?
I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Dixie State University and my Master's degree in Clinical Social Work from Colorado State University.
SUMMARY OF PROFESSIONAL HISTORY
With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of populations. My expertise includes supporting children, adolescents, and adults dealing with eating disorders, addiction, self-harm, depression, anxiety, and a variety of other mental health conditions. I've worked in various settings, including domestic violence shelters, DCFS, residential treatment centers, substance abuse programs, addiction groups, and community mental health centers.
WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO BECOME A THERAPIST?
I chose to pursue a career in mental health and become a therapist because I am passionate about helping people discover the strength and resilience they already possess within themselves. One of my favorite quotes is by Oscar Wilde: "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." I believe that we all have our own unique "superpowers" and qualities, and it's important to recognize and embrace them.
As your therapist, I will work with you to uncover your strengths and abilities, and to help you recognize the value and worth that you bring to the world. I believe that each person has the potential to achieve their goals and live a fulfilling life, and my role is to support you on that journey of self-discovery and growth. Together, we'll explore the challenges you're facing, identify your strengths and resources, and develop personalized strategies to help you overcome obstacles and achieve greater happiness and well-being. Let's work together to help you become the best version of yourself.

WHAT KIND OF HOMEWORK OR ASSIGNMENTS DO YOU GIVE CLIENTS?
Due to only having one hour a week with my clients, I provide weekly assignments to help my clients apply what they learn in session to their daily lives. However, I understand that life can get busy, and completing homework isn't always possible. If an assignment isn't completed before our next session, we'll work together to find other ways to continue making progress.
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY FIRST SESSION WITH YOU?
Relax. Breathe. Be yourself. Often times before an intake session, clients express high amounts of anxiety, fear, and panic not knowing "how it's going to go".
The best advice I can offer is be yourself. Be real. You are in control of your session and treatment. If you don't like your therapist, thats okay. Let's find someone that works best for you. You are in control.
