Sexual Addiction Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

If you have been exposed to a traumatic incident you may be unaware of how that event has affected your daily functioning. Later, you may have difficulty controlling your anger, sadness, anxiety, sleeping etc. To determine if your behaviors have been affected by exposure to a traumatic event or have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), schedule and appointment with me for an assessment. I have a wide array of experience treating individual, families, and couples for a variety of issues including problems caused by trauma, depression, anxiety, poor communication skills, poor family functioning etc.

One of the greatest predictors of successful therapy depends on how effectively a therapist can create a space in which a client feels unconditionally safe and supported. My down-to-earth, informal, and practical therapeutic approach enables me to form a strong alliance with my clients. I am passionate about collaborating with people to help them address challenges, navigate difficult life transitions, and to recognize and maximize their personal strengths and resources.

Have you been experiencing a gap between the reality you are living and the life you want to live? Throughout our lives, we will face constant exposure to reality gaps— the reality we live versus the reality we want. Because of this, feelings of pain are inevitable. It’s my belief that feeling pain, unhappiness, and dissatisfaction with your life doesn’t mean you’re defective; it means you’re human. Despite this human condition, psychological suffering is not your life’s purpose. Living a rich, full, and meaningful life is.

I am passionate about helping clients find and explore their authentic selves in a judgment-free space. I am committed to helping you with challenging issues such as relationships, anxiety, depression, past hurts, life/religious transitions, personal growth, sexual health, or even unconscious obstacles that may hold you back. I assist my clients as they define their vision of psychological, emotional, and sexual health for themselves, their partner(s), and their families. Assisting clients to overcome the unique challenges they face in life by encouraging them to become their authentic selves.

My therapy style is based on three principles: Awareness, Discovery, and Integration. I approach my clients holistically. My intention is to explore their troubles without judgment or a specific agenda. I believe that the problem always contains the seeds of its own resolution, and I trust my clients to know what is ultimately best for them. My clients do well in therapy when they practice curiosity, patience, and friendliness towards their own troubles. Over the years I have tended to focus on mood disorders, anxiety disorders, addictions, trauma, and relationship issues.

Over the years, I have developed my gift of diagnosis which helps me to understand my patients in an accurate and easy to understand manner for them. Then we grieve together the past and implement interventions and boundaries for a healthy future. Psychotherapy is proven to be more enduring than drug therapy, and my approach towards treating my patients is to avoid medication where possible.

Few things in life are as hard as asking for help. This is especially true if you aren't quite sure what to ask for or how to ask. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe that the problems we face are influenced not only by what is happening with us, but also within our relationships with others. Our connections and relationships are important to us and our individual mental and emotional health. So whether I am working with just one person, a couple, or a family, it is not about taking sides, villainizing, victimizing, or blaming. It is about healing, empowering, and recovery.

You can overcome the challenges that led you here! Living and coping with problematic sexual behavior can lead to shame, guilt, a secret life. We can suffer, relationships can suffer, families can suffer, finances can suffer, work/school can suffer, physical health can suffer. Problematic sexual behavior is consequential. This is where I come in. Together, I would like to support you in understanding the dynamics involved in your unique circumstances, both what has led you here and how to manage the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related to.

Therapy is akin to walking on sacred ground. I am passionate about helping clients achieve personal wholeness and the loving connections that they long for. As a sex therapist, I am especially enthusiastic about helping couples create "sextraordinary" marriages! I provide a safe, friendly, encouraging and active counseling environment for us to explore what is needed to help you have the best relationships possible. As founder of "The Marital Intimacy Institute," I look forward to working with you online or in person at my Utah office.

Let’s face it… IT’S HARD TO BE A MAN. We live in a time when many men are unlikely to ask for help, refusing to acknowledge past wounds that stand in the way of their deepest potential. I have worked extensively with men’s issues and male adolescents suffering the effects of limiting beliefs, life struggles, depression, anxiety, sex addiction and sexual trauma. Helping men of all ages overcome the blocks that keep them disconnected from themselves or their partners; whether it is being stuck in a frustrating cycle of repeating the same mistakes over and over to struggling with infidelity, porn addiction or sexual trauma.

There are many challenges facing us in our world today. Having the ability to recognize when we need some extra support and the willingness to seek it is essential. My clinical experience over the last 20 years allows me to use my education and life experience to provide a safe place for us to work through these life challenges. Throughout my career, I have worked with adults and adolescents in a variety of systems: foster care, probation, drug court, residential, crisis intervention, and in-home.

Experienced. Professional. Caring. Safe. Confidential. Licensed since 1995. Offices in Park City, Salt Lake City, and Evanston. With an open, empathic, non-judgmental style, I work with people from all walks of life who are looking for healing, change, and growth. I have provided such help to many people for years, often to those who thought there was no help, or for whom previous treatment did not quite get to the root of the problem. Whether seeking help with every day concerns, life transitions, personal development, family and relationship issues, or longstanding complicated problems, you are welcome in my office.

I am a Utah Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over six years of clinical experience in working with adults and adolescents. I specializes in working through trauma, addiction, anxiety and depression or people that are just feeling stuck. I most recently have worked as a clinician at The Haven Retreat, a program for female survivors of childhood sexual abuse. I believe in client-centered therapy and rely heavily on understanding your strengths and needs. Life isn't easy and we all have our own difficult experiences, which is why beginning where you are at is extremely important to me.

For me it comes down to living POWERFULLY by accepting full responsibility for our lives. In that comes freedom. Freedom from addiction and compulsion. Freedom from self hate. Freedom from toxic relationships. Freedom to "respond" rather than "react". Freedom to live in accordance with our OWN values such that, at the end of the day, we're good with ourselves. I'm inspired by such COURAGE on a regular basis. We've all got "stuff". At some point, the question is, "what're we gonna DO about it?" It's a great privilege to do this work. Note: I am not in a position to provide crisis services.

I have immediate openings and specialize in treating trauma, grief and loss, anxiety/depression, and am trained in EMDR. I provide guidance to address spiritual and/or religious issues, including post-Mormon related struggles. Even though I'm no longer LDS/religious, I respect the religious/spiritual beliefs of all my clients. No judgement is my philosophy.

My areas of focus: 1) Individuals who have been unsuccessful in relieving anxiety, anger, or depression with other therapies, 2) Men who have been told they have "anger problems", 3) Faith transitions, whether staying or leaving, 4) Sexual health concerns, 5) Couples who are confused about what they need and where to get it, 6) Couples who are stuck in ambivalence about whether to stay and work on their relationship, or separate.

Here you can expect to find a safe space to feel heard, understood, to heal and process experiences that are still impacting your life negatively and bring awareness to thought processes that are hindering you from living the authentic life you hope for. Lets find your unique strength and build on them.
