I’m a Certified Social Worker who earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Work from Utah Valley University in 2025. I’ve worked with teens, adults, and families in a variety of settings, including at-risk youth programs, mental health services, substance use treatment, and child welfare. I’m trained in TF-CBT, CPT, SBIRT, and Domestic Violence Levels I & II.
Starting therapy can feel awkward, overwhelming, or even scary—especially as a teen. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are without feeling judged, pressured, or misunderstood. I believe therapy works best when there’s a real connection, honesty, and trust. You don’t have to have everything figured out to start healing.
I enjoy working with teens and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, relationships, life changes, and feeling stuck. I also support individuals struggling with addiction, bipolar disorder, and family stress. My approach blends DBT, IFS, and Motivational Interviewing with authenticity, compassion, humor, and genuine connection.
