With 25 years of professional experience, I am a licensed practitioner based in Utah. Throughout my career, I have skillfully assisted clients in managing stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Moreover, I specialize in bolstering motivation, self-esteem, and confidence among individuals.
In my practice, I also collaborate with couples, offering tailored guidance to restore trust, enhance communication, and foster emotional intimacy. Recognizing the courage it takes to embark on a journey toward personal growth and fulfillment, I am committed to providing unwavering support and empowerment to individuals and couples alike.
In addition to my work as a therapist, I also serve as a professional coach/consultant in the field of organizational psychology. Through this role, I guide individuals and organizations facing challenges both in their professional and personal lives.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
