I grew up in a Christian home and accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior at the age of eight. During my rebellious high school years I began seeking my own way. After many years of doing what "I" thought was best I rededicated myself to Him and truly began pursuing God¹s will for my life at the age of 30.
I received my Bachelors in Communications from the University of Utah in 1992. Shortly after graduating I entered the corporate world through telecommunications where I consulted with businesses on their communication needs. I eventually became a corporate trainer for sales and service. After the rededication of my life to God¹s will, He led me to pursue and embrace my true passions in life; my family and counseling. I became a stay-at-home mom in 2002 and a full time clinical counseling student in 2003, and obtained my license to practice independently in July, 2010.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I graduated with honors May of 2007 from the University of Phoenix with a Masters of Science in Counseling/Mental Health Counseling. I am currently a member of the American Association of Christian Counselors, American Counseling Association, and Utah Mental Health Counseling Association.
My therapeutic approach combines cognitive-behavioral work which helps individuals examine, acknowledge and restructure thoughts and actions as needed while taking into consideration a family systems approach which looks at the important relationships within the individuals interpersonal life. I hold a Christian world view, however I believe in individualized treatment and am considerate of the needs of each of my clients and their spiritual frames of reference. I take into account each individual¹s uniqueness and tailor the therapy to meet their specific needs appreciating the spiritual, physical, cognitive, and emotional aspects of human behavior. My approach is holistic and focuses on the health and well-being of the individual. General practice areas include aduls, adolescents and children providing individual, couple, family, and group counseling services. My special interests include marriage/couple, teens, women's issues, psychological trauma, and family/parenting.
I am an active member of an Evangelical Free Church where I have served in a variety of ministries including teen Bible study leader, service project coordinator, small group committee member, AWANA leader, women¹s Bible study participant and leader and adult facilitator of the high school leadership team.
I enjoy my life as a wife, mom, and counselor. My approach to counseling is the same one I use in my personal relationships; respect, care, concern, authenticity, with an appreciation for the uniqueness of each relationship. In my free time I enjoy playing tennis, skiing, golfing, camping, dates with my husband and goofing off time with my kids. (more-vita)
