Therapists in Bountiful, 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.

Transformation doesn't ask that you stop being you. It demands that you find a way back to the authenticity and strength that's already inside of you. -Cheryl Strayed. I believe that everyone has the power within to heal themselves.As a therapist, there is nothing more sacred than being involved in someone's story and being able to help them find light in a world that can at times seem rather dim. My objective is to walk gently and compassionately with my clients on their paths toward creating a life full of meaning and growth.

I enjoy working with adults and couples who may be grappling with depression, anxiety, burnout, and feelings of hopelessness, among other things. I identify as a gay man and take an affirming stance towards people living with health conditions or impairments, the LGBTQ+, and BIPOC communities. I offer a welcoming space for everyone and consider social justice issues integral to my counseling work. Please reach out with any questions about myself or my practice. I look forward to meeting you!

Few of us get through this life without experiencing some trauma. Yet we all have the capacity to experience post-traumatic growth with the help of therapist whose role is to remove barriers that prevent us from moving past our past. When clients leave my office they have improved capacity for facing life head-on. Finding the right therapist is about “fit,” which is about feeling affirmed and validated for who you are.

I am licensed in Utah and Wyoming, and I have specialized training, lived experience, and over 15 years of clinical experience treating anxiety, bipolar, ADHD, OCD, trauma, and grief and loss. I have worked in various clinical settings, including inpatient hospitalization, outpatient clinics, and private practice, and I have nearly 10 years of experience providing telehealth therapy. I provide engaging, evidence-based treatment to clients experiencing mild to severe mental health issues. My approach is trauma-informed and compassionate, and I work to create space where you feel comfortable to share and know that you will be heard.

Although I have a wait list for new clients, I have some great clinicians that I am providing clinical supervision to at Mountain Valley Counseling that are accepting new clients. Contact me and I can tell you about our staff and help get you scheduled with one of my supervisees. At Mountain Valley Counseling, we are person-centered in our approach, but fundamentally believe in more depth psychology methods. We want to help people beyond basic symptom reduction, which research shows, provides more lasting and sustainable change.

I personally know the value of feeling safe in therapy. Building trust with your therapist is key to embarking on the journey of growth and self-discovery.I prefer to work with people in the long-term, finding that helps us get to the roots of our difficulties. In part, because there is a deeper connection in the therapeutic relationship. Compassion and empathy are core to who I am, and I bring these attributes to each session to develop an authentic connection with you. Whether you want to work on PTSD, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, domestic violence, grief, eating or body image difficulties, I am here to help.

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 believe that feeling connected and safe are the first steps toward meaningful change. In my practice, I strive to provide a non-judgmental and supportive environment where individuals can explore things with freedom, develop a deeper understanding and love for themselves and find ways to live their lives in the direction of their chosen values. I enjoy working with teenagers and adults who experience a variety of mental health challenges, including anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, chronic shame, and issues related to racial and ethnic identity.
