Therapists in Park City, UT

Have you ever wondered what it takes to create REAL long-lasting change? In today's information world, many of us know "what" we need to do, but few of us know "how" to implement and stick with it. The clients I work with are motivated to change so they can have a greater impact but have trouble executing consistently. These could be health-related habits like building a new workout routine, work-related tasks like avoiding distraction to increase productivity or catching destructive negative emotions. I'll teach you scientifically proven tactics to implement permanent change, overcome emotional barriers, and hold you accountable.

Satisfaction and happiness with yourself and the relationships that surround you is often what a client finds troubling them underneath the stress of life. Sometimes you feel alone in this stress, sometimes you feel surrounded by others though they don't really know you, and other times you have a handle on most things but just can't sustain feeling satisfied and happy with what you have. Finding yourself looking through therapist profiles, this profile, means you are on the path of change. Next step, set an appointment with the therapist that feels right and has skills and experience to actively guide you on a path of change.

I strive to create a safe and supportive relationship with my clients. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, playful and direct. I bring a mindful perspective to therapy and see most of life's transitions and struggles as opportunities for growth. I have been practicing for 20 years and love what I do.

Therapy can help name experience, holding the moving pieces that keep bumping up against the edges of your consciousness, organizing them, fitting them back together in a way that makes sense and returning them to you with skills to manage them. Sometimes though, the articulate and self aware client will spend hours explaining things they already understand, while still feeling unseen and disconnected, like their inner world is still being missed, knowing there is hurt and dissonance but needing someone to help them connect to it. My holistic mind, heart and body approach can bring you to a place of both naming and experiencing.

Are you going through a faith transition? It can be very lonely and emotionally painful. You're likely experiencing loss and grief on a level you never have known before. It can be so difficult to open up to others around you and the fear of how they might respond can keep you feeling stuck. Cognitive dissonance is a common experience as you try to make sense of things you were told and what you believe. Uncertainty can feel frightening as you've started to deconstruct your entire belief system. You may be feeling betrayal, anxiety, shame, depression or anger as a result of religious trauma.

Addiction to drugs and alcohol is destructive not only to the person addicted, but also their family and friends. I specialize in treating addiction and the correlating feelings of worthlessness, depression, and anxiety. Healing from substance abuse and/or mood imbalance is done by strengthening an individual's mental, physical, and spiritual nature, stopping negative cycles, and re-creating an authentic person.

I offer a consultation to determine if my skill-set matches your needs.

Life can be complicated and full of traumatic events that overwhelm us. As a result, problematic patterns that negatively affect almost every area of life may begin. These overwhelming events may also negatively shift beliefs about self, others, and the world at large. Once this occurs, it can be difficult to repair without professional help. Additionally, trauma can be unique to the individual. It's not always a confrontation with mortality but rather, a deep hurt or betrayal by someone we should have been able to trust.

Working in community mental health and the broad scope of clients I have worked has taught me the most important skill that is needed in psychotherapy- connection! My greatest skill is the ability to build rapport, connection and ultimately a therapeutic relationship, which is the cornerstone of success in therapy. This happens through active listening, determining the problem's and diagnosis, then creating a personalized treatment plan with goals. My most successful clients are the ones who put in the work outside of the sessions to meet there prescribed goals. 'Nothing changes if nothing changes'.
