Therapists in Bountiful, UT

Have you tried traditional talk therapy and find yourself hitting a plateau? Are you experiencing trauma and PTSD due to a break-up, divorce, grief, sexual addiction, infidelity, love addiction, or sexual abuse and wonder if relief will ever be available to you? Perhaps you're curious if the growing field of psychedelic-assisted therapy could help you find the change you are seeking. If so, you've come to the right place. I specialize in helping people find the breakthroughs they desire through an eclectic approach, including trauma-based therapy, somatic parts work, and psychedelic assisted therapy (currently utilizing ketamine).

My areas of focus: 1) Individuals who have been unsuccessful in relieving anxiety, anger, or depression with other therapies, 2) Men who have been told they have "anger problems", 3) Faith transitions, whether staying or leaving, 4) Sexual health concerns, 5) Couples who are confused about what they need and where to get it, 6) Couples who are stuck in ambivalence about whether to stay and work on their relationship, or separate.

Welcome to my practice! The world is changing in profound ways. I am here to help you navigate these new realities in your family, work and love relationships. My therapy style with both couples and individuals is warm, collaborative and nurturing. For couples, I will help guide you out of distress and back to loving connection, paying close attention to emotional intimacy, differences in sexual desire, chronic fighting, communication breakdowns and infidelity/betrayals. For individuals, I will help you find your way back from depression, anxiety, grief and relationship challenges. Let me help you grow and flourish.

My practice is about creating and enhancing a meaningful life. Through a belief that our disturbances--about ourselves, others or life in general - lead us to the doorway of toward wholeness, we work together to unfold the seed of the solution from within the problems. Thus, I approach each client with a desire to follow and facilitate their unique healing process. Through deep compassion toward self, dreamwork and process work, I identify lesser conscious aspects of one's self, which we work together to bring into awareness. With this awareness one can find more meaning and a stronger purpose in life.

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!

Voted Utah's Best Therapist 2022 + 2023. My approach centers the wisdom of our body, nature + relationships as the most valuable components in healing. Under enough stress, all humans make adaptations to survival. These survival strategies do a great job when they are first learned, but when continued outside of the context of their creation, they can reenact + reinforce patterns that are no longer helpful. It’s in this understanding that we work together to identify where patterns began, what behaviors were learned for emotional and physical survival + how we can create new ways of interacting in the world that feel more whole.

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.

My therapeutic approach is customized to your needs in the moment and prioritizes making you feel seen, heard, and empowered. I'm here to support you in learning how to better approach yourself with love and care, to be more connected in your mind and body, and to better understand and embody your authentic self. I believe that healing happens when we feel safely supported by others and have a deeper understanding of our minds and bodies.
