Therapists in Bluffdale, UT

My aim as a counselor is to facilitate a space for healing so that adults, children, adolescents, and families can strengthen bonds and develop closer relationships. I specialize in treating trauma, with extensive experience treating complex developmental trauma. Using a variety of methods in my practice, including Trust-Based Relational Intervention, attachment-based therapy, and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, I seek to help you promote deeper understanding and self-awareness of yourself and your relationships.

I approach therapy with a nonjudgmental perspective and a curiosity to understand the unique experiences leading clients to therapy. I believe a strong, genuine connection and collaboration between therapist and client can not only be an opportunity to improve coping skills and process through trauma and other difficulties, but also a catalyst to improving access to experiences of joy and contentment in life. I support clients with their therapy goals whether returning or starting for the first time. Therapy is often a brave journey of exploring the parts of ourselves that we might avoid… feeling scared, sad, angry, confused.

Welcome to therapy! I want you to feel affirmed and supported during our sessions, so I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can freely express your identity, navigate societal pressures, and develop healthy coping mechanisms.

I offer hope, genuineness, trust and a safe environment to work through, analyze and decrease symptoms. I specialize in individual, couples and family psychotherapy.

I aim to understand each client’s unique experience with pain and struggle. I am committed to helping my clients explore the deeper “roots” of their psychological concerns. My work focuses on an integrative and insight-oriented approach to reduce symptoms and deepen my clients understanding of themselves and their relationships. I believe that past experiences, including trauma, loss, and dysfunctional relationship dynamics, hold great bearing over how we interact with the world today, and processing these experiences is key to finding freedom and meaning in their occurrence. I currently have openings for sex therapy clients.

I consider it a privilege to partner with people who are struggling emotionally to help them find effective, long-term solutions to their difficulties. I believe it takes courage to ask for help. That is why I am committed to providing a setting for my clients that is both enriching and safe. I approach each person with warmth, directness and openness to make sure they feel well supported through the change process. I listen with compassion to what my clients are really saying. This is a critical piece in creating the space necessary for important work to be done.

Friends and family are great resource. They care about you and are often so uneasy with seeing you upset that it's difficult for them to help you address the hard areas in life. Because they don't want to see you unhappy, they often tell you 'want' to hear when a good therapist will help you discover what you need to hear. Whether it be situational (relational issues, job-loss, unexpected death) or something more long-term like trauma, addiction, depression and anxiety. Investing time with a licensed therapist can help. You are stronger and more resilient than you realize and I look forward to working with you.

I understand that starting therapy requires courage. My study of psychodynamic theory has allowed me to understand the complex ways in which childhood experiences shape the way we look at the world. I want to help make sense of the ineffable. So many patients have described feeling like they are "missing something". I have noticed that more often than not, what is missing are lost parts of the self. It is my goal to provide psychodynamic psychotherapy with proper depth and duration to allow a deeper understanding of the self, a sense of peace, resilience, and a emergence of creativity.

I specialize in trauma, emotional dysregulation, and relational challenges. If you believe therapy should be more than paying someone to passively listen and nod, I'm the therapist for you. You may be tempted to believe there is something fundamentally wrong with you. Maybe you never feel good enough, worthy, or lovable. Perhaps you are trapped in certain patterns of thought, feeling, or behavior that you feel powerless to change. As a trauma-informed therapist, I believe there is nothing fundamentally wrong with you. A more accurate question is, “What happened to you?"

Have you discovered a partner's infidelity, pornography use, or addiction? If so, you may be feeling intense anger, sadness, and loneliness.

I want you to know that there is hope and there is help. I am an experienced psychotherapist with a passion for guiding clients through hurt, and doubt.

“I was born in a cross-fire hurricane” is a line from the song Jumpin Jack Flash by “The Rolling Stones,” but it is also what life can feel like when we are distressed, anxious, depressed, or unsettled. Working as a teacher, I observed first-hand the increasing sadness, anxiety, overwhelm and disconnection that students, parents, and teachers were experiencing. This can happen for a variety of reasons. Seeing the need for more support was my motivation for becoming a therapist. I believe you deserve to be your best self and sometimes you might need a little help and mentoring to get there.

Because I am person-centered and want to meet people where they are at, I will pull from other modalities if needed.

Mental health has the power to influence all aspects of a person’s life, including the ability to develop meaningful relationships, and maintain self-functioning. With willingness and vulnerability, therapy can give a person back their life and empower them to reach their potential.
