Therapists in Utah

I do not have an "ideal" client. I am willing to work individuals through their issues, needs and goals. I do prefer working with clients who are ready to make changes in their lives. However, I enjoy exploring with clients on what is holding them back from change and helping them identify what their issues, needs, and goals are. I strongly believe everyone has the answer inside of them. However, some people need guidance to uncover the answer and gain courage to start making changes.

You want to improve your relationships, how you feel about yourself, and live a more enjoyable life. You need understanding, skills, and motivation, a plan of attack to make things better! You know you want something different you just don't know how to get it.

Life has everything in it, but you only see what your perception allows you to see. You are the main character in your story, which is why I take a person-centered approach to counseling. There, of course, is a reason for the feelings you have in the here and now, such as trauma, etc. Working through those hurdles and finding your light again is my primary purpose. Healing the body, mind, and spirit together helps create you into the person you desire to be. As a person-centered counselor, I focus on how the client experiences life and, through that, facilitates therapeutic change. Now providing LENS Neurofeedback!

I approach therapy with an open mind. We all bring different strengths and experiences to the table. My approach is to help you integrate those strengths, while learning new one's to help make the change you want to see if your life. Growth and change is essential part of life, but can be overwhelming and scary. I've learned that going through these with a community can lessen that alone or fearful experience. That's why I feel honored to hold space with my clients while coming together to grow. I'm an ally for LGBTQ community members.

Most people would rather hide from change than embrace it. When we do, unseen opportunities aren’t realized. We encourage our clients to focus on positive change- more on strengths than on weaknesses, the solution instead of the problem.

I am committed to assisting individuals in living authentically without regrets. My approach is rooted mindfulness based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and strength based perspective. I am trained in hypnosis through American Society of Clinical Hypnosis and have found this to be a very helpful tool. I use a holistic approach in working with my clients with the goal of teaching them to use their mind body and spirit for healing and growth. I have extensive knowledge in addiction, codependency, trauma, depression and anxiety. I am comfortable working with adults, families, couples and LGBTQ community.

Discover how to love yourself and develop the skills needed to thrive regardless of your challenges and circumstances! As a counselor, I care deeply for my clients and bring knowledge and skills to assist you in making the changes you wish to make. I give the space, time and energy neccesary to help you gain strategies and insight, and offer room for you to simply be you. I believe each person has the knowledge within themselves to create their best life!

I believe the story you tell yourself about yourself and your relationships is far more meaningful and descriptive than a diagnosis or other label that may have been placed on you. My goal is to assist you in gaining clarity about that story, who you are and where you are in life – your aspirations, talents, skills, obligations, and needs – so you can move confidently into the future, staying connected to those you love and the things that bring you joy. Don’t be a victim of fear, insecurity, or disappointment – harness your natural abilities, virtues, and powers to be the hero of your life.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space to explore issues that have created significant barriers to growth, healing, and change. If you've experienced a stressful, troubling event that's left you feeling powerless, you may have been traumatized. I utilize the latest research to help those affected to not only begin the process of healing, but learn how to engage and effectively diminish and manage symptoms. I am trauma-informed, with training in mind body bridging, a holistic therapeutic approach incorporating the mind, body, spirit, and emotions that support the healing process. I am also trained in IBSR, and EMDR.

I enjoy working with families of children with disabilities, prenatal and postpartum mothers, and those who have experienced betrayal trauma. I also work with anxiety, depression, autism, trauma, addiction, grief, and adjustment issues. I use evidence-based techniques and a collaborative and integrated approach to tailor my therapy to each individual's unique situations, learning preferences, and goals.

I am dedicated to guiding individuals who face the complex challenges of trauma and addiction towards a path of healing and self-discovery. My practice centers on supporting clients through the intricate layers of trauma, helping them navigate the often overwhelming emotions that accompany it. I believe that every individual holds the potential for transformation and resilience. My goal is to walk alongside my clients as they process their trauma and embark on a journey towards rediscovering their true selves. Together, we work towards creating sustainable strategies for recovery and growth, fostering a renewed sense of purpose.

I believe seemingly broken things can mend. I have seen change and I know it is possible. I specialize in working with couples to access deep emotional connection and to change patterns of interaction that keep us stuck. Whether facing affairs and addiction, or simply seeking better communication, we can work together to create safety and security in your relationship. I also work with individuals struggling against anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. Relationships often dictate the measure of success or failure we experience. My goal is to help you find peace, balance, and to move forward in a purposeful direction.

As a marriage and family therapist, I have been successful in helping individuals re-create and maintain enjoyable relationships throughout their lives. My goal as a clinician is to help you and your loved one(s) learn to build loving, trusting, understanding and safe environments and relationships that enable recovery, moving forward and healing. I love to see you and your loved one(s) smile again! My main clinical specialty is treating children, teens and adults who have experienced traumatic events. I have successfully treated depression, anxiety, addiction, affairs, divorce, grief and loss, stress, etc.

Life is puzzling in both its perplexity and in that it resembles one. Where we attempt to find the edge pieces for some kind of outline/guide, discover which pieces fit together, constantly looking at the bigger picture, realizing it’s going to take some time to complete, and having someone join in can be helpful and/or fun. I do so in order to simplify a section of their life puzzle piece as they are attempting to find where it goes and how it fits in the bigger picture. That might include trauma focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy, DBT skills, Motivational Interviewing, solution focused therapy, and learned self-compassion.

Sometimes, despite our best efforts and the support of loved ones, we become stuck. Stuck in patterns of negative thinking, stuck in behaviors incongruent with our values and goals, and stuck in challenging emotions which do not seem to pass with time. Whether facing trauma, addiction, difficult relationships, or overwhelming life changes, there is hope. We can develop new skills, unburden ourselves of our struggles, and build a life of our choosing.
