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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
