Adoption Therapists in Ogden, UT

I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and adults helping them cope in a healthy manner with life stressors and difficult life transitions with a specific focus in trauma therapy. Trauma therapy can include many things such as: seperation(s), divorce(s), grief/loss, adoption(s), navigating foster care, car accident(s), major life changes and much more. I believe therapy should be holistic, meaning there are many ways to do therapy, and every individual is unique. Each approach I use is intended to expand on the clients existing strengths using evidence-based interventions whenever possible.

Individual, Couple, Family, & Child Therapy. Effective therapy starts with effective assessment. The greater my understanding of the family challenges/presenting problem the more likely I will be able to help the family/couple/individual find greater success and happiness. I understand that clients are often feeling desperate and hopeless so my goal for a first session is to build hope and begin to offer researched based interventions and ideas that work! Short term, effective, enjoyable therapy services is my goal as a therapist. Most clients report after a first appointment that they feel at ease with my gentle, kind, and supportive approach.

I provide a safe and supportive, strengths-based therapy unique to each client situation and their desired outcomes.

Let’s get started together. It’s easy to feel alone, and we understand how hard change can be. At our core, we know that change is possible as we heal and strengthen our relationships with those who love us best. We improve our relationships as we “come to ourselves” with new clarity and bolstered commitment to openness and healthier habits of acceptance and connection.

As a therapist group, we focus on restoring balance to daily life. It is our belief that trauma inhibits our ability to function to full capacity. Trauma reactions often create issues such as addiction, avoidance, anger, and panic. We utilize a simple method to reduce trauma reactions to triggers which creates a better balance in life, work, relationships, and self. We offer telehealth on a secure HIPPA-compliant platform for new and existing clients. All paperwork and payments can be performed via the telehealth platform.

I enjoy working with clients who are willing to experience the challenge of change and growth on their journey. I feel privileged to walk with my clients as they explore their issues and work towards the success they choose. I believe that everyone should have the chance to find peace in their life experiences.
