Few of us get through this life without experiencing some trauma. Yet we all have the capacity to experience post-traumatic growth with the help of therapist whose role is to remove barriers that prevent us from moving past our past. When clients leave my office they have improved capacity for facing life head-on. Finding the right therapist is about “fit,” which is about feeling affirmed and validated for who you are.

Mindfulness is about learning to live in the moment and fully accepting life’s truths. The use of mind-body skills such as meditative breath and guided movement, reduces the impact of past and current trauma. I admire my clients’ resilience and courage as they choose to engage in this process of healing and growth.

It’s important to note here that, though I'm not currently LDS, I am very knowledgeable about Mormonism and I keep up-to-date on its stance, both official and cultural on a variety of issues—especially those affecting LGBTQ+ individuals.
