About Us

As a Clinical Fellow of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), I’ve completed advanced training in the Gottman Method for Couples Therapy, trauma-informed care (TF-CBT and EMDR), and motivational interviewing techniques, all of which guide my work.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist passionate about helping individuals and couples live better, more fulfilling lives. 

My approach? I combine faith in Jesus Christ with evidence-based methods and a sprinkle of what I’ve been told is “obnoxious optimism,” which forms a contagious enthusiasm for growth and motivation.

My journey started as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, where I saw great people struggling with addiction who needed more than just the spiritual help I was offering and not knowing what to do. 

After completing my mission, I knew I had found my calling. So, I pursued the knowledge that I was missing; I have degrees in Psychology from Snow College and Utah State University and a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. 

I’ve seen how past experiences can hold people back, and I’m committed to helping everyone overcome those barriers. By keeping grounded in a trauma-informed, systematic approach to problem-solving, I’ve seen the changes in people’s lives I hoped to see while on my mission.

I love engaging with my community. I’m working on creating accessible educational programs, like 30-minute “Anxiety Lunch Breaks,” to provide quick and practical tools for managing stress. My beautiful wife and I have six kids, so trust me when I say I get that life can be hectic. To help maintain a feeling of balance, I coach kids’ soccer at the YMCA and enjoy book clubs and game nights.

Let me help you thrive!
