Therapists in Cache County, UT

Whether you are encountering personal problems, relationship issues, life adjustments, or confronting trauma; therapy has the potential to offer you support, consistency, and insight to help. I seek to address both the immediate presenting problems you are dealing with and the deeper, more long term issues that may be contributing as well. I value genuine connection, humor, suspending judgment, and supporting others in all phases of life in my therapeutic approach. Through the lens of these values I utilize a range of therapeutic modalities including; ACT, EMDR, Brainspotting, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and a humanistic approach.

As a therapist, I hope to provide you with a safe and supportive place for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges. I believe in a collaborative and client-centered approach, meaning you are the expert on your own life and I am here to support you in your journey.

I truly enjoy working with people of all ages and seeing how they grow and change. We all run into times of crisis or struggle and whether it is something that requires intensive work or maybe seems quite small, there is hope for the future. I have experience working with children in play therapy, and teens and adults using an eclectic and person centered approach including CBT, ACT, psychoanalysis, DBT, as well as other modalities. I am one of three therapists in the area that have been trained in Trauma Conversion Therapy which is amazing for trauma, anxiety, depression, and OCD.

I have always felt drawn to helping others. This desire led me to pursue an undergraduate degree in Psychology & Child Development from Utah State University & later a Masters in Clinical Social Work from Baylor University. I'm trained in TF-CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I'm here to serve you, to support your goals, to see the best in you, & envision the life you can still create no matter what you’ve been through. My approach to healing begins with helping you build a foundational understanding of how your past experiences continue to impact your present & how you can move forward.

In our daily lives, we face numerous challenges, turmoil, and trouble. We may feel triggered, alone, anxious, frustrated, depressed, irritated, stressed, overwhelmed, and conflicted.

Together with God, we can find the freedom to help us restart our life and relationships that have brought us down and devastated us for generations.

I am thrilled to start serving the people of Cache Valley full time! I would love nothing more than to help you and/or your loved ones overcome difficulties and to help you set and achieve your goals.

I work from a strengths-based perspective; helping you to recognize and utilize your strengths to create change and healing within yourself and your environment.

Life is too short to surrender to letting adversity, trauma, bad relationships, grudges etc... control us; or be anxious/angry all the time. With over 10 years as a clinician, military veteran and retired law enforcement officer, I have been fortunate to be trusted in working with individuals, couples and families as they find answers, healing, understanding or resolve through painful and desperate situations. Empowering them to create resilience and healing in the rest of their story.

In therapy, even a small change in perspective can make a world of difference. I specialize in working with individuals in treating PTSD, addiction, anxiety, and depression. I enjoy working with children and teens as well as parents that are having a hard time parenting.

Life can be challenging and throw things at us that feel unimaginable. I believe that people are also in charge of their own lives and can change if they put their minds to it. Feelings of enoughness, connection, and belonging are crucial to a well rounded and fulfilling life. People often underestimate and miscalculate their capability and value and want to feel seen, heard and important. I work with teens and adults who are working through depression, anxiety, trauma, attachment issues, family issues and addiction. I have extensive experiencing in helping heal the family system and helping individuals find their best selves.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS: Whatever you resist will persist! I invite those who have an open mind for new ideas and seek to create long-lasting success to start that journey today. I believe that individuals have the right to achieve and be all they desire. We have the power and capacity to make a decision about what we are going to tolerate in our lives. I challenge each of us to get into a great, beautiful state of thinking, and living and fully enjoy the fruits of our labors. I believe that knowledge is only potential power, and we become powerful when we are courageous enough to execute that knowledge.

We all want to be understood, to be acknowledged, to be loved. I believe we can find calm, we can grow from deeply painful and difficult things and that we can feel deep connection and belonging to ourselves and with others. I support individuals struggling with relationships, anxiety, life transitions and trauma find compassion and peace in themselves, and strength in their connection with others. It is my privilege as a clinician to support you in creating the fulfilling and meaningful life that you want.

Do you feel like your emotions are taking over your life and making it difficult to function? Do you feel a lack of purpose and that life is passing you by? We all encounter pain, hardships, and unmet expectations, but that doesn't mean we have to suffer because of them; there is hope and healing along the way! I believe in a compassionate, collaborative approach to therapy. I believe in you and your ability to make life meaningful. I am here to help provide skills and tools, and to grow your confidence in yourself. We've got this!

Over the past 19 years as a clinician, I have developed a passion for helping individuals and families improve their lives. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with high anxiety and OCD issues, depressive symptomology, trauma, eating disorders, and sexual addiction. I’ve worked extensively with individuals dealing with pre and post missionary service issues as well as a great deal of time working with neurodiverse/autism spectrum issues and helping these individuals and families navigate their challenges. With my experience and skillset as a therapist, I look forward to helping my clients walk the road of healing.

I am passionate about breaking down the stigmas surrounding mental health. So often we find ourselves with negative thoughts and beliefs about ourselves, others, or the world around us that hold us back from understanding or seeing who we really are and what we can become. I seek to help individuals break down their negative and distorted thinking so they can see themselves and the world around them in a more healthy and positive way. I enjoy working with young adults and older teenagers who struggle with a range of anxiety, depression, and negative views of self.

Life is full of challenges that bring both joy and pain. There are times when painful experiences such as loss, trauma, depression, anxiety, addictions, transitions, relationships and more can leave us feeling lost, overwhelmed, and even hopeless. When we experience such difficulties, it is necessary to reach out and connect with others who can help us feel heard, empathize with our pain, and help us learn and grow. If you are needing this kind of connection, I can help you discover your inner strength and build resilience for coping with such difficulties.

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.
