I've been a therapist in the recovery field for the past 14 years. I have a passion for helping people recover from their substance use issues, mental health issues and unresolved trauma. My belief is that if you heal the underlying issues and help people feel loved as well as love themselves, their lives have no limits to what they can do and who they can become. 

I call Southern Utah home and have lived in this beautiful area for the last 34 years. I have 10 beautiful children and 19 grandchildren whom I love dearly. I enjoy outdoor activities such as skiing, hiking, glamping and traveling to explore the wonders of the world. 

I completed my master's program from Prescott College where I specialized in understanding and healing trauma.    

I am an author of 2 self-help books, The Girl Who Couldn’t Cry; A Healing Journey through Trauma and Walking Through the Worst of it.

I have a bachelor's degree in psychology. I am the mother of 2 wonderful children. I am in the middle of my wellness journey, working on growth and healing. I have worked in the field of recovery for about 4 years. I have managed companies for years. I am typically a behind the scenes person, but learning that it is ok to take up space and be seen. This is a new adventure I am excited to be part of, and I am happy to be a participant in your growth as well.
