Therapists in Alpine, UT

I value and celebrate individuals who come all walks of life. I believe there are strengths and perspectives to be found in the life experience we face each day. There are many pieces and parts that make us who we are; our life history, our race, gender, gender expression, age, sexual identities, abilities, religious beliefs, and spiritualities. Pieces that are apart of us, but not always in harmony. I believe as we acknowledge, explore and embrace these conflicts, we can find a new meaning to our suffering, new ways of coping, and a new perspective on life.

Asking for help is tough whether it is for you or someone you love, but it can be worth it. I have been a therapist for over 10 + years, and hope I can help you find some relief. I specialize in all types of traumas both “Little t” and “Big T” traumas (i.e. family or origins, bullying, chronic health, divorce, adjustment issues, life change, to all types of abuse and harm), PTSD, depression, addiction, and anxiety. I work with individuals, families, couples, the LGTBQIA+ community, first responders/military, and ages 4-76+ years old. As your therapist, therapy, we can do worth together to grow and heal.

Sometimes the roller coaster ride of life derails us and we need help. Having experienced many unexpected turns and a few derailments in my own life I'm ideally suited to help people find solutions and hope even when all they are feeling is despair. I would love the opportunity to help you with whatever circumstance you find yourself in whether it be problems in your personal life, marriage, parenting, addictions or mental illness. I feel passionate about helping people get on track so they can have a happy and meaningful life.

I specialize in helping clients deal with relationship trauma and sexual addiction. I'm trained in the Gottman therapy technique for relationships and EMDR. I am also a Sexual Addictions Therapist (CSAT) and a Sex Therapist (CST). I offer a diverse approach and utilize a variety of interventions based upon my extensive training and research.

Each client who enters my office desires deeper personal connections, less stress and more hope. When tragedy strike, and you find yourself facing depression, anxiety, or dark thoughts, then I'd like you to begin a mental health journey with me. We're all part of the human condition and we have to learn how to keep our brains healthy and heal when needed.

I can help you feel understood especially when you feel like you struggle to understand yourself or you feel that no one else understands you. I can do this by compassionately listening to your life experiences and helping you feel validated and accepted. Having been through relational, religious, military and familial trauma I have a place in my heart for those of you who have struggled with this.

Seeking help can be hard for anyone so I know this can be a vulnerable experience for you. I am here to help serve others and create an environment so you can become the best version of yourself. I want to be an aid in your journey and provide you with the tools necessary to grow. Through this process we will approach your struggles in life with compassion, openness, understanding, and vulnerability.

I believe that each person has the potential to live the life they truly want and that lasting change is possible. As a strengths-based therapist, I help a client find their strengths are built on and utilized in therapy to help the client work through the difficulties they are experiencing. I create a space where you can tell me anything without fear of judgment or me telling you how you should live life. Therapy is an interactive process and it shouldn’t look the same for each person. I love helping people build their confidence and becoming more assertive. I want to help you build the skills to live your life to the fullest!

Life is hard, but it is not hopeless. There are many circumstances we would not choose to be part of our lives. These circumstances may even limit our choices. I have learned that it doesn't really matter if these limiting circumstances were brought on by yourself or others, if they were intentional or unintentional consequences of past or present behaviors, or if they are randomly introduced. Regardless, they are absolutely frustrating, painful, and time consuming. I am honored to work with individuals and families who are seeking professional support in these times.

Asking for help can be tough, but it shouldn't be scary. It's not overreacting to ask for what you want and need - but it can be hard. Often, we are desperate for change but aren't sure what to do or how to get there. If you are dealing with the struggles of parenting, emptiness in your relationship, or find yourself in need of healing, I can help. I specialize in helping people navigate the stress, anxiety, and sadness of life to find peace, joy and meaningful connection.

I have both personal and professional experience with and specialize in supporting people going through religious transitions and general life transitions. My passion is to help people cultivate self-compassion and autonomy to face life’s challenges. I strive to make therapy a place where clients feel safe and empowered to make positive changes. I use elements of Attachment Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and person-centered therapy. Because I am person-centered and want to meet people where they are at, I will pull from other modalities if needed.

When people experience life stressors, life changes, and/or trauma they often find themselves lost and looking for relief.

I specialize in the treatment of trauma, children and adolescent's disorders, Anxiety and depression along with personality disorders. I emphasize mindfulness, emotion regulation, Distress Tolerance and interpersonal relationship skills

I understand the complexities of life and relationships and how hard it can be to navigate. It can feel overwhelming and even helpless at times. I approach life and therapy with a wide lens. I like to take a holistic approach to mental health and I understand that our mental, physical and spiritual parts are intertwined. As humans we are made to feel emotions. I don’t view life or therapy as a process of learning to avoid difficult or uncomfortable feelings or a process of perfection. I view it as a process of discovery, acceptance, growth, and understanding.

Relationships are one of the most important things in life. Whether that be with a partner, spouse, parent, child or other family member. We understand that strengthening and maintaining those relationships is at the top or your list. It’s at the top of our list too! Change is possible if you have a desire to learn and apply the skills and knowledge you will acquire through participating in therapy.

Life is difficult and can throw many things our way, and sometimes it becomes necessary to have someone to discuss difficult thoughts, emotions, and experiences with. Sometimes we have difficulties dealing with our own emotions - or have issues in relationships with our family of origin, current intimate relationships, work/friendship relations or other issues? Reach out for a free consultation and see if I may be a good fit for discussing things in your life.
