My Approach to Helping
It's my belief that effective change begins with a personalized approach. I believe therapy can only be effective when tailored to the individual and the specific journey they have traveled. I also believe we all possess a deep inner strength that due to trauma, loss, and many other life circumstances, can sometimes feel misplaced or even lost. My job as a mental health professional is to help guide you on a personalized healing journey, give a safe space to freely express emotions, and teach useful skills and tools for personal use in real world situations.
I have a background working in community mental health as a mental health and substance recovery therapist. I have worked with both federal drug and mental health courts and held the position of Carbon and Emery counties lead crisis therapist. I have taught many group therapy sessions such as Women’s Beyond Anger and Violence, Seeking Safety, DBT, and Relapse Prevention. I am trained in the highly effective Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I believe healing is an individualized process. Due to this belief I incorporate a variety of modalities into individual therapy based on the clients needs.
