Welcome to Salty Counseling

As a trauma therapist and EMDRIA-Certified EMDR Therapist in Salt Lake City, Utah. I help high-achieving Millennial women and queer individuals heal from trauma, reconnect with their authentic selves, and finally feel peace in their bodies and minds.

You’ve probably done therapy before—maybe even for years. But if you’ve found yourself repeating the same patterns, it’s not because you’re broken. It’s because talk therapy often isn’t enough to address the root of your pain.

At Salty Counseling, I go deeper. I use a specialized combination of EMDR, Polyvagal Theory, and Somatic Therapy to get to the source of anxiety, trauma, and stress. Together, we’ll map how your nervous system responds to the world, uncover the stories trauma taught you to believe, and gently rewire those patterns so you can step into a more confident, calm, and unapologetic version of yourself.

This isn’t therapy, where you just vent about your week.

I’m here to actively engage in the work with you. That means using evidence-based tools that are goal-driven and built to create lasting change—not just temporary relief.

Through EMDR therapy, we identify and reprocess the unresolved memories and experiences that keep triggering distress in your everyday life. This isn’t about endlessly revisiting your past—it’s about upgrading how your brain and body store and respond to it, so you can stop living in survival mode and start truly living.

I’m one of the few therapists who offer EMDR to fidelity, following the full 8-phase protocol developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro. When done correctly, EMDR can resolve trauma at the neurological level—not just manage symptoms.

We’ll also work with Polyvagal Theory, which helps you understand how your nervous system works and how to regulate it. You’ll gain practical tools for calming your body, building safety from the inside out, and supporting your Vagus nerve functioning—an essential step before diving into trauma work.

You don’t need to spend years in therapy to feel better.

My clients often tell me how different this work feels—how much more real, focused, and transformative it is. They come to me feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected, and they leave feeling more empowered, grounded, and confident about who they are and what they want.

Yes, this work can be hard. But it’s also deeply rewarding. I’ll help you feel safe, prepared, and supported every step of the way—because healing shouldn’t be retraumatizing. You deserve to feel whole.
