Accepting new clients! I appeal best with clients who have identified that some aspect of their life has stopped working for them, or never really worked at all. People who seek out a counselor to validate the fact that change is necessary, and desire professional help to collaborate in identifying their own natural strengths (or at least potential capabilities) towards overcoming difficulties and just need a personal team player. These people are exciting to work with, from individuals to couples. My hope is that my warm and inviting office atmosphere and my own experience and therapy skills can motivate mental healing .
This processing group was created to support those suffering from body dysmorphic disorder and body image issues. BDD is a painful, psychological condition in which the sufferer is very distressed with aspects of their appearance, such as their skin complexion, hair (too thin, the hairline), nose size, shape, or head shape, size and symmetry. Sufferers will often spend hours in the mirror or avoid them, camouflage with make-up or clothing/accesories, seek reassurance, isolate, abuse substances, and seek cosmetic surgery after surgery either no relief. Groups are $30 and we accept some insurances. Reach out, we look forward to hearing from you!

RO DBT (Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy) Skills Classes for Adults. RO DBT classes are designed to teach emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness skills to folx with emotional over-control. Individuals who over control their emotions are often highly successful in school and work settings and struggle to feel emotional closeness and connection with others in relationships. They often appear to “have it all together”, while also feeling lonely and isolated and struggling emotionally under the surface. Humans with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), neuro-divergence, depression, PTSD/CPTSD and more can benefit from these skills classes.

I provide counseling to individuals and couples in the Salt Lake City area. I work with my clients to identify issues clearly and help them to create lasting change. Once this change occurs, problems will be seen as opportunities, rather than failures. I am often told by my clients they feel a level of trust, acceptance and comfort that has been missing with other therapists. When working with individuals, I use acceptance and mindfulness based approaches to manage anxiety and other symptoms you may be experiencing. I will help you look at negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a fulfilling life.
"Gentle Yoga for the Overwhelmed" is a Trauma-sensitive, all-level yoga class. Yoga is an excellent somatic intervention to complement therapy, or as a stand-alone therapeutic intervention.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Support Groups
How long does OCD treatment take?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.
What happens if OCD is not treated?
Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.
Are there medications for OCD?
Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine (under the brand name Luvox), fluoxetine (Prozac), and sertraline (Zoloft), among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.
Can OCD come back after treatment?
Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
