About Me:

I am licensed as a psychologist and clinical social worker with over 7 years of post master's experience.  I attended the University of Utah for graduate school and obtained degrees in three mental health fields, including a PhD in counseling psychology, MS in educational psychology, and MSW in clinical social work. During my doctoral training completed a clinical internship at Duke University's Counseling and Psychological Services.  

 The type of work I enjoy most is therapy with individuals and couples and I possess a strong appreciation for multicultural identities and worldviews. One of my clinical specialties over the years has been helping clients develop skills in practicing
mindfulness meditation, which is a topic I have provided trainings
on at local as well as regional conferences.  Mindfulness meditation
is described in more detail in this website. 

Additional areas of specialty are below.

In terms of my personal life, I have been married for 8 years and welcomed
my first child in 2008.  I take pleasure in being outdoors and enjoy cycling 
the mountains, hiking the trails, rafting the rivers, and skiing the powder.
