About Us

I am the owner of Sage Canyon Counseling, as well as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), an Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS), and an AAMFT Approved Supervisor with extensive experience supporting individuals, couples, and families. My work is grounded in a systemic, neurodiversity-affirming approach that values each person’s unique strengths, challenges, and ways of experiencing the world.

I bring advanced specialization in autism across the lifespan—supporting autistic adults, teens, children, and the parents and partners who walk alongside them. My training as an ASDCS allows me to offer informed, effective care around sensory needs, communication differences, executive functioning, burnout, masking, and relationship dynamics within neurodivergent families.

In addition to my clinical credentials, I am trained in several evidence-based modalities, including:

• DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness
• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for trauma and stuck emotional patterns
• ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) for rapid trauma reduction and somatic integration
• Gottman Method Couples Therapy for strengthening communication, connection, and conflict management

These approaches allow me to tailor therapy to each client’s needs—whether they benefit from structured skills, trauma processing, relationship work, or a strengths-focused neurodiversity lens.

As an AAMFT Approved Supervisor, I also provide guidance and mentoring for developing therapists. I’m passionate about supporting new clinicians in growing their confidence, competence, and clarity as they enter the field.

I love to spend time with my wife, daughter, and son. I am a runner who will run “everything from a 5K to a 50K.” I also enjoy skiing and snowboarding in the winter, mountain biking in the summer, and being outdoors all year round.

I am a Clinical Social Work Intern at Sage Canyon Counseling and a second-year student in the Master of Social Work program at Utah State University, with an anticipated graduation in summer 2027. My work is grounded in a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming approach that treats each client as the expert of their own life.

I bring a deep commitment to supporting individuals with disabilities, neurodivergence, and facial and visible differences, along with the caregivers who walk alongside them and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I also work with adolescents, couples, and families, helping clients navigate:

• Depression, anxiety, and grief
• Trauma and its lasting patterns
• ADHD and executive functioning challenges
• Autism and neurodivergent identity
• Caregiving stress within disability and medical communities

Lived experience shapes my perspective. I was born with a facial difference, received an ADHD diagnosis in adulthood, and parent children with disabilities, so I know how it feels to run out of options and need someone to listen. Because people rarely fit neatly into boxes, I believe therapy shouldn’t either; I draw creatively from a variety of approaches and collaborate with each client to build on their unique strengths.

Advocacy extends into my life outside the clinic. I volunteer with Smile Train, The National Foundation for Ectodermal Dysplasias, Primary Children’s Hospital, and the 501st Legion (I am a big Star Wars nerd). I bring the same fierce passion I hold for my family and community to every client I serve, helping you reach your goals, discover your passions, and truly thrive.

I am married with three kids, and our “neurospicy” household loves reading, camping, building Lego, and playing video games. I wouldn’t change it for anything.

I am the Practice Administrator at Sage Canyon Counseling and a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with specialized certifications in trauma-informed yoga, adaptive yoga, and children’s yoga (RCYT). My teaching is grounded in the belief that healing happens in the body as well as the mind, and that movement should meet each person exactly where they are.

I offer yoga in formats suited to a range of needs and nervous systems, including:

• Private trauma-informed sessions for individuals working through trauma, anxiety, or chronic stress
• Adaptive yoga for bodies and minds that benefit from modified movement
• Children’s and family yoga built around play, regulation, and connection
• Classes for parents and children through Autism Outdoors Utah, where I bring trauma-informed movement to neurodivergent families

These offerings let me tailor each practice to the person in front of me, whether they need grounding after a hard season, accessible movement, or a shared experience with their child.

I bring a career in healthcare to my role at Sage Canyon. I spent years as a chief marketing officer for healthcare technology companies, and I now run my own consultancy, Alpenglow Summit, serving health tech leaders. Working inside the healthcare system taught me how confusing insurance, scheduling, and care navigation can feel from the patient side, and I put that knowledge to work here.

As Practice Administrator, I work behind the scenes on insurance questions, and the practical details of running a smoothly operating counseling practice.

I love spending time outdoors with my husband, daughter, and son. I ski and snowboard in the winter, hike and paddleboard in the summer, and read year-round, preferably at our family cabin in the mountains.
