Individual therapy in Hurricane, Utah: Now let's meet the part that runs it.
- “I understand why I do it. I still do it.”
- “There's a harsh voice in my head that never lets up.”
- “Therapy gave me insight, but not much changed.”
- “My body reacts before I can think.”
- “I say yes when I mean no, then resent it.”
- “The intrusive thoughts don't budge, no matter how I argue with them.”

The critic, the people-pleaser, the part that shuts down
IFS-informed parts work treats the critic, the people-pleaser, and the part that shuts down as protectors, not problems. We get curious about what they're guarding, so they can finally ease up.
Because patterns live in the body as much as the mind, we pair that with somatic work, noticing what your nervous system does in the moment, and with narrative work to reshape the stories you've been carrying.
Trauma-informed, with a specialty in OCD. Everything is paced to what your system can hold: steadiness first, deeper work when you're ready. For OCD, I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the most established treatment for loosening intrusive thoughts and compulsions.

The first few weeks
Before we meet
A free 15-minute call to talk about what's going on and whether we're a good fit.
The first session
We start with what brings you in and what you'd like to be different, at whatever pace feels okay.
Building steadiness
Before going deep, we make sure you have ways to settle your system when things get stirred up.
Deeper work
With that foundation, we turn toward the parts and memories that keep the pattern going, in person in Hurricane or by telehealth.

Parts work, drawn from Internal Family Systems (IFS), sees the mind as made up of different parts, like a critic, a worrier, or a part that numbs out. Each developed for a reason. Instead of fighting them, we get to know them, which is often what lets them change.
If talk therapy gave you insight but the stuckness stayed, we add what was missing: parts work and somatic work that include your body and nervous system, not just your thoughts.
Yes. I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which helps you gradually face intrusive thoughts without the compulsions that keep them going, at a pace we plan together.
It depends on what you're working on. Some people come for a focused stretch of a few months; others stay longer for deeper trauma work. We check in regularly about how it's going and what you need.
