Mental Refinery Therapy & Coaching LLC · Utah
I'm a licensed therapist and coach with a belief that most of us are doing the best we can with what we know. My work is helping you learn more — about yourself, your relationships, and the patterns that keep you stuck.
I've been a therapist for years, but I've also been a wife, a parent in a blended family, and someone who's had to do a lot of my own work along the way. That lived experience shapes how I show up for clients — grounded, direct, and genuinely invested in your progress.
My approach draws on evidence-based modalities including Gottman, IFS, Lifespan Integration, DBT, somatic work, and polyvagal theory. Therapy here feels like a real conversation, with real tools, aimed at real change.
Support for wherever you are — and wherever you want to go.
One-on-one sessions for anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and personal growth. Real tools, not just insight.
Gottman-method work to improve communication, rebuild trust, and deepen connection — at any stage.
Helping families — including blended families — find new ways to communicate and support each other.
Goal-oriented support for growth, communication, and life transitions — without a clinical focus required.

You don't have to fit a mold. Here's what I see most in my practice.
Evidence-based modalities, tailored to you — never one-size-fits-all.
Gottman Method — Level III Trained. Research-backed couples therapy addressing conflict, intimacy, and friendship. One of the most evidence-supported approaches for couples at any stage.
Internal Family Systems — Trained. Understand and heal the different "parts" of yourself — especially the ones that seem to work against you. A compassionate, non-pathologizing model for deep internal change.
Lifespan Integration — Level IV Trained. A gentle, body-based therapy that helps the nervous system integrate past experiences across time. Particularly effective for trauma and attachment wounds — without requiring clients to relive painful memories.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy — Certified. Skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Practical and immediately applicable to everyday life.
Somatic & Polyvagal-Informed. Mind-body approaches that work with your nervous system — not just your thoughts — for more lasting change in how you feel and respond.
Emotionally Focused Therapy. Attachment-based therapy to strengthen emotional bonds and move out of stuck cycles — for individuals and couples.
