Healing One Step At A Time
Experiences in nature often mirror our journey in life. One of our favorite images in hiking is that of the Cairn – a pile of rocks placed carefully by many hands as they passed by -communicating that others have been here before us, and providing assurance that we are still on the right path. Many of us feel lost on our own life’s path, suffering with feelings of emptiness, hopelessness, anxiety, and depression. We have been there.
At Cairn Mental Health, we bring together the best of scientifically researched and patient-proven techniques to help our clients overcome the pain, challenges, and barriers that bring them to us. We take a whole-person approach to therapy, helping each patient build their own stack of tools and insights—their personal cairn—for a healthy, happy life.

DBT Group Therapy

Our group sessions provide clients with an opportunity to learn about and ultimately deepen their understanding and utilization of the DBT skills.
While it’s true that each of us is unique and have unique circumstances, none of us is truly alone in our struggles. Connecting with others who hold the same goals for growth, and health as you provide and receive support from your peers is a powerful way to inspire hope, encouragement, and progress.

My own journey of healing began when I entered Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT). It changed my world.

With more than 20 years of experience working with adolescents and young adults in a variety of mental health settings, including the department of child and family services, youth corrections, residential treatment, and therapeutic boarding schools; I am passionate about helping my clients change their lives for the better.
I value a strengths based, person centered, and holistic approach. Utilizing a variety of evidence based skills and techniques, I work closely with my clients to foster and increase their self efficacy and autonomy. The inclusion of healthy recreation, in my opinion, is an integral part of overall mental health and well being.
I specialize in helping my clients navigate the struggles they face managing thoughts, emotions, and behaviors surrounding varying types of addictions and mental health struggles, including anxiety and depression.
I honor each client’s individual path and meet them where they are to assist them in taking steps to create a life worth living. -
After coming to Utah for college, I fell in love with the endless adventure possibilities and chose to stay. I especially love snowboarding and water sports. I also love traveling and planning my next tropical vacation.
