Therapists in Utah

I am passionate about helping individuals fulfill their full potential. I provide services that assist clients who want to discover new potential in their lives and to experience greater peace, contentment and joy.

Are you a person who has emotional ups and downs on a regular basis? Do you need more time to process information in order to make a decision? Do negative/positive experiences affect you deeply? Do you or others say you are "too" sensitive? Do you tend to feel depressed and/or anxious when responding to expectations of others and self? Being an individual who struggles to manage these traits can be discouraging. Most people use their analytical mind to find a solution or believe their circumstances must change to be happy. This cycle of frustration and effort may leave you and loved ones feeling overwhelmed, doubtful and confused.

I have learned from the best Social Work program in the country that our therapeutic alliance is the most important determinant of success for you. As a practitioner, the most important thing I can bring to a therapeutic relationship is authenticity. I am skilled in working with and helping people who are facing a variety of challenges. My therapy practice is individualized and seeks to build on your internal strengths. I am here to meet you where you are and help guide you to your mental health goals.

The human spirit is resilient! The past does not need to dictate your future. I take a client centered approach at meeting your goals! Wether you are healing through a past traumatic experience or are just tired of feeling down or without direction, I look forward to partnering with you on your individualized healing journey.

Life stressors and traumatic events can cause anxiety, depression, and other uncomfortable emotions. I work with teens and adults who seek to understand the “why” of their emotions and behaviors, and move away from feeling hopeless, exhausted, or numb. We will work together to help you better understand yourself, discuss hard topics, and build skills to experience healing and growth.

Have you heard that you have great insight or strong self awareness, but have yet to experience any real change in therapy? My ideal client is ready to try something new. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for adults and adolescents to explore their diverse identities while moving and healing through past traumas. I approach all clients through a multi-cultural, gender-sensitive lens while also acknowledging the impact that systemic oppression has on an Individual's mental health and well-being.

Life is difficult sometimes and can feel overwhelming, lonely, or sad. I have felt that way as well during parts of my life. It’s difficult not to have the multi faceted parts of our lives take a toll on our mental health. Grief, loss, addiction, and trauma are all part of my story. However, the stories we believe to be true of ourselves and others are capable of being rewritten. The important factor is identifying through discovery and support of how YOU are the author. Therapy isn't as much learning skills to overcome mental health issues as it is unlearning carried shame, guilt, and negative beliefs to become an emboldened you.

Searching for a therapist is overwhelming. You want to find someone who you can trust in what is likely one of the most confusing times in your life. After all, a deep part of you is feeling broken and alone in the world. Your mind won’t give you a moment’s rest. You feel unsafe in your own body and uncomfortable in your own skin. Your relationships are suffering—and with all this going on, you're now expected to choose a therapist.

Substance misuse, trauma, identity concerns, men's issues, depression, anxiety, adjustment issues. These are just a few of the issues I specialize in working with in my practice. I have had 8 plus years working with adolescents and adults in various settings. My approach is a humanistic, client-centered, somatic and trauma focused approach. I am trained in EMDR and Brainspottting. I try and create an environment/therapuetic alliance that is relaxed, humorous yet confrontational and free of therapeutic jargon so that my clients can be authentic.

Therapy can be a dynamic experience creating hope and energy. Facing challenges and grieving losses we inevitably face is a powerful step in moving toward a more satisfying present. I view therapy as a collaboration with you to create your transformation and growth. Our past experiences shape our view of ourselves and in turn our potential in the future. I hope to assist you to "re-author" the stories you have about yourself not serving a positive purpose and replace them with new stories, skills and a vision that do.

We all have an inherent need to make sense of our lives. Psychotherapy addresses this by becoming aware of our unconscious (unaware) patterns. Freud coined the term "repetition compulsion" by which we can unknowingly repeat past experiences. In essence, we want to change but cling to what's familiar. Long-term psychotherapy is my preference as it provides the necessary time and safety for these dynamics to emerge and therefore create freedom if desired.

Hello, welcome to a friendly, supportive, and personalized space, where you and I can intentionally show up for and tend to what is happening in life right now. This is a space to co-create an environment to nurture your mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Together, we can distinguish between what in your life may be helpful to keep versus what may be helpful to discard. There may be some things that are normal and common to your life that do not support you and your path of health and wellbeing. From there, we can give space to what is emerging in you that wants to be seen, heard, and come alive.
