Online therapy for adults in Utah & California
Individual therapy for adults going through life transitions, relationship conflict, people-pleasing, and hard conversations. Together we'll understand the patterns that brought you here, and practice a steadier, more honest way of showing up for yourself and the people in your life.

Is this you?
Most people don't come to therapy with a neat label. They come because something changed, or because the way they've always coped has stopped working.
01
You're in the middle of a big change (a breakup, a move, a new baby, a career shift) and you don't quite feel like yourself.
02
You keep landing in the same relationship patterns, even though you understand them on paper.
03
Saying no feels impossible. You over-explain, keep the peace, and feel responsible for everyone else's feelings.
04
You know what you want to say, but in the moment you shut down, get flooded, or say nothing at all.
05
Nothing is obviously wrong, but something isn't working anymore, and you want to understand why.
You don't need to have it all figured out before you start. Noticing that the way things have been isn't how you want them to stay is enough.
What we work on
01 · Navigate change
Divorce, new parenthood, a career change, a move, grief, or a shift in who you are. Change can unsettle your identity even when you chose it. We'll make sense of what you're leaving behind and what you want to carry forward.
02 · Understand your patterns
Partners, parents, siblings, friends, coworkers, exes. Individual therapy can help you understand conflict, repair after it, and stop playing the same role in every relationship.
03 · Find your voice
People-pleasing, guilt, over-explaining, and the fear of disappointing others. Learn to say what you need clearly and kindly, and to trust yourself when someone doesn't like it.
You don't need a partner or family member to agree to therapy for things to change. When you understand your part in a pattern and learn new ways to respond, the whole relationship has room to shift.
How I work
Understanding why you do something is only half the work. Therapy should also help you do something different. I combine three approaches so you get both.
Insight
Psychodynamic
Skills
DBT
Healing
EMDR
A more secure self
Insight
Psychodynamic therapy explores how earlier relationships, experiences, and beliefs shape what happens today, so the pattern finally makes sense.
Skills
DBT gives you practical tools for emotional regulation, boundaries, and difficult conversations, so you know what to do when the old pattern shows up.
Processing
EMDR helps process past experiences that still shape how you feel, what you believe about yourself, and how you relate to others.
Each approach makes the others work better. See how on the EMDR page →
Meet your therapist
I've been a therapist since 2012, and the work I love most happens where change and relationships meet: helping people understand themselves, say what they need, and trust themselves again. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. You'll get real feedback, practical tools, and room to go deeper when you're ready.

Fields marked * are required.
I work with adults in individual therapy. Most of my clients are navigating a life transition, relationship challenges, people-pleasing, or difficulty setting boundaries and communicating what they need. Anxiety, low mood, grief, and past trauma often come up along the way, and we address those too.
No. All sessions are online by secure video. I can see clients who are physically located in Utah or California at the time of the session.
No, I focus on individual therapy for adults. You can still do meaningful relationship work on your own: understanding your patterns, practicing assertive communication, and changing how you respond in conflict.
Some insurance is accepted. Please reach out to discuss in-network and out-of-network options and fees. Most clients choose private pay ($165 per session) for the added privacy and flexibility. Details are on the Fees & Insurance page.
It's a 15-minute phone or video call. You'll share a little about what's bringing you to therapy, ask me anything, and we'll decide together whether working together makes sense. There's no cost and no obligation.
A free 15-minute call is a low-pressure way to see if we're a good fit. Tell me a little about what's going on, ask anything you'd like, and leave with a clear next step either way.
