Therapists in Park City, UT

I specialize in neuro, academic, and psychological evaluations. I have expertise in assessing individuals of all ages for a range of neurodevelopmental conditions, including ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Nonverbal and Verbal Learning Disabilities, Dyslexia, Working Memory Deficits, Under Achievement and Low Motivation. My 28 years of experience in conducting comprehensive testing offer families and individuals a unique opportunity to gain insight into their behaviors and challenges, empowering them to reach their full potential.

I am a professional who recognizes the power of creativity, intuition, symbolism, and spirituality in the healing process. This allows clients to tap into their inner resources and explore new avenues of self-expression. This approach fosters a sense of ownership over their healing journey and allows for a more holistic and personalized experience that encourages self-discovery, and propels individuals towards a deeper understanding of themselves and their emotions. Through a blend of neuroscience, creativity, counseling techniques, and genuine care, I aim to empower clients to live their lives to the fullest.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space to explore issues that have created significant barriers to growth, healing, and change. If you've experienced a stressful, troubling event that's left you feeling powerless, you may have been traumatized. I utilize the latest research to help those affected to not only begin the process of healing, but learn how to engage and effectively diminish and manage symptoms. I am trauma-informed, with training in mind body bridging, a holistic therapeutic approach incorporating the mind, body, spirit, and emotions that support the healing process. I am also trained in IBSR, and EMDR.

My goal as a clinician is to develop a safe, honest, trusting relationship so that my clients can explore all parts of themselves without judgement. I use evidence based practices and draw on the therapeutic relationship to help my clients feel seen, heard, and understood in ways that can offer healing. My hope is to help my clients enjoy the healthy and nurturing relationships they are seeking, and to live a more whole, purposeful, and satisfying life. I work well with individuals and couples who are looking to get to the root of their challenges, and move past managing symptoms.

We all need support, life brings planed and unexpected change, transitions and requited growth. My clients may feel the pressure of perfectionism, feeling not-good-enough or second guessing themselves, feeling stuck in life. They may have physical or emotional pain and a big stress overload. Often feeling pulled in too many directions, with too many responsibilities, caring for too many projects or people. They can feel lost or adrift, that life is not progressing or as meaningful or happy as they had hoped. Grief & loss build up & worry about the ability to change can immobilize so they often feel stuck & afraid in life.

Over the last 10 years I've specialized in working with teens, young adults and their family systems. It's hard to find a good therapist who can sincerely help those struggling with depression, anxiety, failure to launch, oppositional defiance, substance abuse, relationship difficulties, lack of motivation and emotional regulation. If you're feeling stuck, angry, lost or confused, it can be helpful to meet with someone who can meet you where you are at and help you create a better life though understanding, compassion and confidence. I work especially well with parents and teens who have tried other options and ready for progress.
