ABOUT US
Therapists
I love counseling and helping others. I love seeing hope come into people’s eyes as they realize they can make the changes they need to make. I don’t believe people are broken. I think they just need to be heard and learn skills to help them reach their full potential.
I use ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) which is helping people accept things they can’t change and moving towards their values. I also incorporate DBT (Dialetical Behavior Therapy) which teaches Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Interpersonal Effectiveness, and Distress Tolerance skills.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I have enjoyed being married to David Hanson for many years. I have 9 children (combined) and their spouses, 21 grandchildren, and 1 great grandchild. I play the piano and enjoy listening to many types of music. I love being near the ocean when I get the chance.
As a therapist, I have an unwavering belief in people and our ability to improve upon our circumstances and overcome the most difficult challenges we face in life. I hold my role not as expert but as a fellow traveler who is applying what I share with you in my own life.
As part-time outdoor enthusiast, I have hiked, skied, and backpacked into many wilderness areas that have brought reverence into my heart as a human being. We often can search, and find places and activities where we most feel whole to cultivate the drive and ability to be connected to our journey in powerful ways. As a parent I have loved to pass these experiences on, along with the deeply held belief we can turn incredibly challenging parts of our life not just into successes, but inspiration.
foundation, the process can be healing and open for exploration. I don’t believe in a cookie cutter approach to therapy. I have worked with many different therapeutic
techniques and find success in utilizing the right approach for you. It takes courage and hard work to make the changes you are seeking through therapy. I am extremely passionate about my role in creating a safe and protective space for clients to gain insight, achieve their goals, deepen their love for themselves and improve their relationships.I have experience working with individuals, couples and families. I am currently finishing up my Integrated Mental Health Practitioner certification. This will allow me to take a more whole-person approach and look at more areas of your life that may be contributing to your mental health struggles.
I received my Master’s in Social Work from West Virginia University. There were no online programs then. I had to drive an hour and a half to get to classes and an hour and a half to get home three nights a week. It was grueling but very worth it.
We moved to Washington, Utah in 2014. We left Ohio on Thanksgiving Day as it started to snow.
Why counseling? Since I moved to Utah, I have not been able to use my skills as a Social Worker. Instead, I have cleaned houses, worked in Memory Care as an Activities Director and in Property Management. Connie asked me if I would be interested in using my skills and broadening my horizons by joining her counseling services. I thought about it and prayed about it. Here I am.
I love waking up to blue skies and sunshine. I love to read and watch movies in my spare time. I have enjoyed being married to Bruce Fink for many years and have 2 children.
I have worked in the field of mental health for over ten years and enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults and the LGBTQ+ population. I have helped those in residential treatment, medication-assisted treatment, and outpatient treatment facilities. I am trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), EMDR, CBT and DBT. I specialize in the treatment of trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD and the struggles that everyday life can bring. My greatest reward as a therapist is helping my clients learn how to help themselves and reach their full potential.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my husband and our 6 kiddos. We have a blended family (he has 4 and I have 2), so there's never a dull moment in our home! Whether we are playing family games, watching movies or supporting one another at various events, it's always a good time. I also take time to engage in self care activities (which I encourage everyone to do) such as, taking baths, baking, doing puzzles and coloring!
My background includes working with the Children’s Justice Center and interning for the Utah Family Academy during my undergrad.
During my graduate program, I became an AmeriCorps Member while in San Antonio, TX and worked as a social worker in two different elementary schools, Kindergarten through 5th grade, during COVID-19. After moving to Southern Utah, I then interned for FourPoints Health which focuses on bringing medical and mental health resources to the Pauite Tribe.
From these experiences, I grew to love working with individuals of all ages and from all backgrounds.
I am originally from Southern California & have recently moved to Utah where my husband is attending medical school. I graduated from Brigham Young University with my BS in Family Studies in 2017 and received my MSW from Sacred Heart University in 2022.
Administration
I have a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and experience in Behavioral Health Therapies in both case management and rehabilitation. In my spare time I like to hike and swim outdoors with my family and friends. I have made St. George my home the last few years with my two daughters and we love the area.
