My Approach to Faith Transition + Religious Trauma Therapy
I take an open, nonjudgmental approach to your religious background. Therapy is never about pushing you toward or away from your faith, it’s about supporting your unique faith journey or transition, which often takes time, patience, and space. My goal is to provide a safe, affirming environment where you can explore your beliefs and feel confident in your own decisions.
Whether you’re a fully active member of the church, questioning your faith, or navigating the complexities of being ex-Mormon, I’m here to meet you exactly where you are. I specialize in faith transition therapy in Utah, offering compassionate support for those moving through changes in belief, identity, or community.
Questioning is a necessary and natural part of personal growth. As Indira Gandhi said, “The power to question is the basis of all human progress.” Through asking hard questions, you can begin to explore and clarify your values, which often leads to a more grounded and authentic version of yourself. You may find renewed confidence in long held beliefs, or you may discover new ones that align more fully with your personal truth, rather than those shaped only by external expectations.
I also understand the emotional toll that scrupulosity and religious perfectionism can take, when faith becomes tangled with anxiety, guilt, or self criticism. I’m here to help you move through those patterns with compassion and clarity, toward greater freedom and self trust.

My Approach to Interfaith Couples Counseling
Interfaith relationships can be rich, meaningful, and deeply connected, but they can also bring unique challenges when partners come from different religious or spiritual backgrounds. As a therapist experienced in working with interfaith and intercultural couples, I help partners navigate differences in belief systems, family expectations, rituals, and long term values with curiosity and care.
In therapy, we’ll explore how your individual upbringings, spiritual identities, and cultural values shape your communication, emotional safety, and sense of belonging in the relationship. You don’t have to agree on everything to build a strong and respectful partnership, but you do need tools to talk about your differences openly and honestly. Whether you’re navigating an interfaith marriage, planning a shared future, or healing from conflict around religion, I offer a supportive space to strengthen understanding and connection.
Interfaith relationship therapy can help you move from stuck patterns and silent tensions into deeper empathy, shared meaning, and a relationship where both partners feel heard and respected.

My Approach to Therapy for Conflict + Communication
Family dynamics are complex, especially when communication breaks down, boundaries blur, or past wounds remain unresolved. Whether you’re navigating ongoing tension with a parent, sibling, or extended family, or trying to heal from more recent ruptures, therapy can help you find clarity and peace.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals and families of all backgrounds to explore the patterns that shape your relationships and uncover what’s keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll identify what matters most to you, clarify your role within the family system, and build tools for more honest communication, healthy boundaries, and emotional safety.
I welcome families of all structures, including chosen family, blended families, and multigenerational households, and I understand how cultural expectations, faith backgrounds, and generational trauma can all play a role in conflict. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, with space for each person’s experience to be seen and respected.
Family conflict therapy can help you reconnect with your values, repair relationships when possible, and move forward with greater confidence and calm.
My Approach to LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy in Utah
I provide affirming, identity centered therapy for LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples navigating a wide range of experiences, including coming out, identity exploration, relationships, mental health, and religious trauma. My practice is grounded in the belief that your gender identity, sexual orientation, and self expression are not problems to be fixed, but identities to be honored.
As a therapist practicing in Utah, I understand the deep impact that religious beliefs (particularly within Mormonism) can have on LGBTQIA+ individuals and their families. Many clients come to me carrying messages of shame, fear, or rejection tied to their upbringing in the LDS Church or similar religious settings. Some are questioning how to reconcile their faith with their identity; others are healing from painful experiences of exclusion or silence. I hold space for all of these stories with compassion and without judgment.
Whether you are fully out, still exploring, or facing challenges in family, church, or community settings, I’m here to support your healing and your right to live as your full, authentic self. LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy provides room for grief, growth, joy, and self trust, at your pace, on your terms.
