How can we have more peace, resiliency, and deeper connection in our relationships? How do we reduce anxiety, depression, harmful or addictive behaviors? We often wonder how or if it is even possible to change life-long patterns that have limited our potential and growth. Research indicates (as well as my personal and professional experience) two, very powerful approaches to change and healing that provide long-term results: the spiritual Recovery model and Emotionally-Focused therapy. Both approaches, coupled with an honest willingness to change, and an experienced therapist, hits the "bullseye" on the target for effective change!

I have 30 years of training and experience with individuals, couples and families facing various challenges. As an adjunct professor in an accredited marriage and family therapy graduate program, I am familiar with major models of psychotherapy. I treat clients and supervise therapists in treating sexual dysfunction, blended family issues, child and parenting concerns, abuse (emotional, physical, sexual), non-suicidal self-injury, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, divorce adjustment, trauma recovery, self-esteem, eating disorders, sexual impulse control disorders, stress and anger.

I have worked with many populations including adolescents, children, homeless, couples, families and individuals. I have lived in the South Pacific including Hawaii and Tonga. I have also lived in California , Arizona, Washington and I currently live in Provo Utah. I have worked with a wide number of different cultures and people of different beliefs. I adhere to a humanistic model of Psychotherapy in that no one person is the same and everyone deserves to be treated with empathy. I focus on each individual's potential and stress of growth and self-actualization.

Through my journey towards becoming a marriage and family therapist, I have been a witness to the transformative power of therapy. I believe in the profound impact that dedication and work, both within and outside of therapy sessions, can have on an individual's life. My primary aim is to shift the prevailing perceptions about therapy and to assist individuals, families, and couples in achieving a balanced and healthy state of well-being by harnessing techniques such as emotional regulation, mindfulness, and authentic living. I find fulfillment in aiding my clients through a myriad of therapeutic methods and approaches.

“While it is always best to believe in oneself, a little help from others can be a great blessing.” -Uncle Iroh (ATLA) I feel honored to be in a position where I am able to sit down with people and hear their experiences. I recognize it takes immense courage to choose to engage in the therapeutic process. I am here to hold a space for you to find authenticity, insight, and growth, wherever it takes you. I want to walk with you while you begin the work required for healing. I truly believe you are worthy of your own self-compassion, and I want to help you believe that for yourself.

Life is hard! No way around it. Many people are looking for change, peace, love, hope, or even a rekindling of old passions. I truly believe that we are capable of great things, relationships can be mended, goals can be accomplished, and new perspectives can be achieved. Having gone through many diverse experiences in my life I believe that I have the ability to empathize with what you're going through. In addition, my education, training, and experience has afforded me the knowledge and ability to assist you in finding the happy ending you are seeking.
