Therapists in Cache County, UT

I focus on attachment, trauma, complex family systems, anxiety, depression, and other complexities. I am versatile in treating anxiety, neurodiversity, depression, and/or if you are feeling stuck in life. I work with adolescents on up and can work with couples, families, and child/parent relationships.

I value working together with other human beings on alleviating their distress, often through exploration of what leading an authentic, connected & balanced life could look like for them. My approach to psychotherapy is integrative, relational & cultural. I practice using psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, narrative, feminist & Jungian therapies. I care to meet those that I serve where they are at, using a strength-based, collaborative perspective to help improve their overall wellbeing. I am passionate about young adult development, social justice & working with diverse individuals within their sociocultural context.

Life can be a fulfilling and challenging journey. It is part of the human experience to need support at different times depending on our life stage or situation. Seeking support can be intimidating. I am committed to working collaboratively with clients to invite learning and growth in order to live your best life. I believe in a holistic, integrated approach to mental health by promoting wellness through personal beliefs and values, mind, body and lifestyle choices.

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.

Currently Accepting New Clients. I am trained and experienced in working with a wide range of mental health issues. I have worked with individuals of all ages. These areas include individual, couples/marriage, and family therapy with a focus on the system as a whole to create a strong support system in order to provide optimal success for those involved. Therapy is done at the pace of the client/couple/family to create a comfortable, friendly healing environment.

As your therapist, I am committed to always remember to be empathetic to you and your needs. I have a double master's degree, with second master's in Play Therapy. Children communicate their emotions through play. It can be difficult for adults to help a child communicate with issues when they have suffered a traumatic experience. (Abuse, Divorce, Adoption, Generational Trauma, or Fostered). They need a healing environment to rebuild trust, express emotions of fear and uncertainty, and feel relief from constant reminders of their traumatic experiences. Play therapy meets the needs for all ages from 2-18 and beyond.

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.

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.

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.

Hurt is a part of healing. Much like physical wounds, mental and emotional wounds also require attention and proper care in order to heal. However your wounds were acquired (relationships, addiction, trauma, loss, depression, anxiety, etc.) I am here to help you heal. I provide a safe, comfortable and wholly accepting space to help you heal whatever past or present wound that may be hurting you. Healing is possible and you deserve to live life without the pain of unkempt wounds and embrace all that you've overcome.

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.

I am experienced in working with children, adolescents, adults, and families with complex diagnostic profiles, varying needs, and challenging dynamics and behaviors. I encourage my clients to treat themselves with honesty, compassion, respect, kindness, and gratitude to drive action and intention toward their goals. I have extensive experience working with neurodiverse profiles, learning differences, challenging behaviors, mood dysregulation, depression, anxiety, trauma response, and identity formation needs.

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.

I work with individuals, couples, and families to create new experiences that lead to healing, including healthier attachments and liberation from pain, shame, blame, sadness, fear and other painful emotions. As a marriage and family therapist, I have been trained in systemic therapy and include the context of relationships in my clinical work. My approach looks at the whole person and the whole system and involves Experiential, Structural, Emotionally Focused and Gestalt psychotherapy models. I am also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an eye-movement based therapy for the treatment of trauma.

I feel very fortunate to have spent several decades helping adults and adolescents struggling with their mental health. This has included addressing trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, abuse, grief and loss, attachment, residential treatment, living with physical disabilites and children/families impacted by international/domestic adoption.
