Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

I believe in creating an authentic and compassionate space with my clients. I am a trauma-informed therapist and believe in viewing therapy as a holistic experience in which our identities interact with our social and cultural environment. I utilize a Feminist Multicultural approach to empower my clients as they navigate life's challenges. Being a first-generation Latina, I strive to honor lived experiences, inner wisdom and embrace cultural traditions.

It's my honor to support individuals through a variety of life's challenges. I often work with those facing fertility and family-building challenges, pregnancy and infant loss, grief & loss, trauma of all kinds, adjustment to and navigating parenthood, depression and anxiety before, during, and after pregnancy, couple's counseling, navigating the grief of a breakup or divorce, self-esteem and identity exploration, and faith transitions. I bring in many different modalities to best address the needs of the individuals and couples I serve including EMDR, CBT, Mindfulness, and Gottman Couple's Counseling.

I specialize in helping you to find a joyful, balanced, and grounded life. I believe the most effective route to change and healing is through connection - both within yourself and in relationships with others. Navigating transitions, relationships, and challenges can be complicated - and anxiety and depression make things difficult. In sessions we address painful feelings and experiences, resulting in increased happiness and better relationships. We will work together to uncover your authentic self, build tools to create change, and tune into your innate resiliency.

If you are seeking to understand more, grow, or heal, than you are my ideal client. Any issue and any person with a desire to understand the complexity of life's changes is a person I want to work with. I want to help you on your journey to heal your emotional wounds and create or build upon a self-compassionate and caring you. I want you to feel engaged in sessions and life, cultivating a more empowered you and meaningful life.

Let me guess, you've been in therapy for years and nothing has helped much? You are not alone. Mental health treatment has failed clients who suffer from complex developmental trauma. This is the trauma that happened as a child and there was no escaping the day to day nightmare of not being kept safe. These clients do not benefit from traditional cognitive-behavioral treatment approaches and talk therapy. They likely have high levels of dissociation and a chronic sense of disconnection from themself and others. They have had to turn on themselves in order to survive the unimaginable. It is time to return home to yourself.

Welcome to High Desert Thrive! If there was one silver lining to the pandemic it was legitimizing virtual visits as a viable option to serve folks in need. I have served many individuals through my virtual practice who would never have been willing or able to access support. Making change is difficult--Therapy is a great option for those ready to move forward in their lives. I am passionate about serving my clients and assisting them in finding healing, and increasing their quality of life. I offer a safe, trusting environment to work through difficulties and improve life coping and satisfaction.

Now offering Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP): In KAP treatment, the client takes a subanesthetic dose of ketamine, usually administered orally. Ketamine has been shown to boost neuroplasticity, which promotes capacity in the brain to alter rigid thinking and behavioral patterns- in other words, increasing the brain's ability to learn and change. In order to pursue KAP, we will need to meet for initial intake, you will need to meet with a prescriber and attain your ketamine prescription, and then work with me to collaborate in ketamine journeys in my office. Contact me for more information about this exciting offering.

I want to help you make connections in therapy that help to explain and heal emotional disharmony. For me, it’s about helping you develop new skills and ways of thinking that empower you to move forward in your life intentionally.

I work to bring awareness to the mind/body connection and the power each individual holds to make powerful changes in their lives.

My approach to counseling involves a direct and socratic style, employing various cognitive-behavioral methods to challenge clients and equip them with enduring tools for success. I’m dedicated to helping clients understand that our well-being is intricately linked to our beliefs and choices as we strive to fulfill our fundamental needs for survival, love, importance, and variety. Collaboratively, I work with each client to determine the most effective means of supporting them in meeting these needs through the power of choice.

I am trained and experienced in supporting individuals suffering with anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, intrusive thoughts and life transitions. I work best with clients who value curiosity and intimacy with themselves and others. In my practice, I incorporate the notion that our bodies carry the story of past traumas, experiences and emotions that oftentimes surface as distressing thoughts and physiological symptoms. I go beyond conventional problem solving to integrate your thinking, feeling, sensing, and spiritual realms and offer a compassionate and nonjudgemental space for you to navigate these complexities and improve regulation.
