Hello there! Protea Clinic started as a dream many years ago with the vision of providing mental health services to indivduals seeking healing and respite from trauma and attachment wounds throughout life. Protea Clinic has evolved to specific advocate and provide services to LGBTQIA+ individuals, specifically transgender and nonbinary folks. We all deserve support, help, and skills to develop a meaningful existence and healthy connections in our lives.
I am the founder and owner of Protea Clinic, and I am so excited to begin this journey of providing specialized care to the LGBTQIA+ community in Utah. I have over 8+ years of experience in the mental health field. I specialize in trauma, attachment, and psychedelic assisted psychotherapy. I am certified in EMDR, and trained in various modalities including IFS, DBT, ACT, etc. I believe that mental health needs to be affordable, accessible, and accommodating for all indivduals. My sessions are typically client centered, and I try to meet the client where they are at and to build skills from there.
In my spare time I can be found caring for my many, many plants, snuggling with my adorable cats, or reading the day away. As an adoptee, trauma survivor, and participating in therapy myself, I have tried to create a space that is supportive, educational, and accepting of all.
I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to begin to dive deep into your childhood and connect those experiences with what you encounter in your daily life. Taking that first step can be terrifying and my desire is to help guide you through changes to help you get where you want to be in your healing journey. Whether that is learning how to set and hold healthy boundaries, managing overwhelming anxiety, practicing Mindfulness tools or addressing deep wounds that come from trauma, I hope to support you to achieve greater freedom from what is holding you back now.
I take an eclectic approach, but lean heavily on modalities including: EMDR, IFS/Somatic-informed EMDR and Sandplay. My experience includes Complex Trauma (C-PTSD/Childhood/Developmental trauma), Dissociative Disorders, IFS/Parts/Ego-state Work, Family Systems, Betrayal Trauma, High Conflict Divorce/Family Court.
It is a privilege to assist clients in their journeys of healing through the work done in session and providing the therapeutic tools needed for daily living. I enjoy spending time with my family, collecting books, photography, a good podcast, gardening, my favorite Swig drinks and my chickens.
