She values finding ways to achieve greater balance in emotional, physical, spiritual, social, occupational, and intellectual areas throughout our lives.

Trudy graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in Sociology and a certificate in Criminology, with an emphasis in social work.

While at Liberty, her interests led her to study post-traumatic stress among first responders and veterans and to navigate career changes.

Trudy has previously worked in the juvenile justice system and has had a long career in law enforcement. Working with those struggling with mental health issues led her to a second career in mental health counseling. Her passion now is to help people of all ages navigate through their mental health struggles and find fulfillment in their lives.

Before you compare your progress to someone else’s, read this:

You’re not behind… you might just be in a different season.

Spring in therapy isn’t about instantly blooming.
It’s about what’s happening beneath the surface.

While it’s easy to look around and feel like everyone else is “further along,” real growth doesn’t work that way.

Some people are in a season of renewal. They are starting to feel again after an emotional winter.

Some are decluttering and letting go of patterns, relationships, or thoughts that no longer serve them.

Some are just planting seeds… building tiny habits, showing up, trying.

And some are simply reconnecting. Perhaps rediscovering themselves, relationships, or their sense of hope.

Not all growth is visible.

Just like in spring, roots are forming before anything blooms. 🌸

So before you compare your progress…
remember: slow, steady growth is still growth. 🌱

Join us for a FREE workshop for parents of teens where we’ll dive into:
🧠 Understanding the teen brain
🤝 Strengthening your parent-teen relationship
🛠 Practical tools you can use right away

Research consistently shows that parents who build strong relationships and maintain open communication with their teenagers see greater long-term success and happiness in their kids.

Teens who feel connected to their parents tend to have better mental health, increased social stability in adulthood, reduced risk-taking behavior, and improved educational attainment, such as increased college enrollment.

The teenage years can feel complicated, but your relationship is still the most powerful influence in their life.

This is a workshop you won’t want to miss. Register today by scanning the QR code to reserve your seat. We’d love to see you there!

Happy 💛Sad 💙 Angry ❤️ Calm 💚 Loved 🩷 There are so many emotions to be felt! Being able to verbally identify emotions you are experiencing is powerful. This can be very challenging for young children to conceptualize. In the book The Color Monster by Anna Llenas colors are used to represent different emotions. This book comes highly recommended by our therapists who work with children. Understanding and expressing emotions is a valuable skill for everyone, and tools like The Color Monster can make it more accessible, especially for little ones.
