Therapists in Clearfield, UT

Over the past 16+ years of full-time practice, I have developed a strong commitment to helping adults, children and teens heal from anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. Since completing my formal training in 2008, I settled in Utah, where I have worked extensively with adults suffering from trauma, depression, anxiety and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Regarding my work with children and teens, I have worked extensively with conditions like ADHD, Autism, learning problems, self-harm behaviors, and mood disturbance. A family-based treatment approach is very important, as the whole family needs to be involved.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience. I want to help people live their authentic lives. I’m a good listener with judgment-free regard for others.

As an experienced child and family therapist, I am committed to providing you with the tools needed to rid your relationships of conflict, pain and frustration. I offer a safe, nurturing environment where those suffering from mental health concerns will be treated with empathy and compassion. I believe you matter and deserve to be recognized, valued and understood. You are a person of worth. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness or failure.

The best part about being a therapist is seeing the positive emotional and physical responses my clients gain from therapy. I think of myself as a guide in helping people navigate challenges in their life. Everybody has challenges and obstacles they must face in their lifetime. But not one experience is the same. How we process our emotions, how and what we believe about ourselves and the world around us is as unique as we are. It’s an emotional fingerprint. I want to hear about the emotional fingerprints, both good and bad so I can better understand how to guide you away from the bad and onto a path of self-healing.

I understand that life can be challenging, and it's normal to feel overwhelmed at times. I'm dedicated to helping my clients achieve greater self-awareness and realize their full potential. My approach centers on understanding the factors that impact mental health and gaining a deeper insight into how thoughts and beliefs shape behavior. You're not alone in this journey. Together, we can work towards creating a healthier and happier version of yourself.

Relationships are one of the most important things in life. Whether that be with a partner, spouse, parent, child or other family member. We understand that strengthening and maintaining those relationships is at the top or your list. It’s at the top of our list too! Change is possible if you have a desire to learn and apply the skills and knowledge you will acquire through participating in therapy.

As a therapist, I specialize in working with complex trauma. I enjoy helping individuals develop new coping strategies, expand their capacity, and make meaning of what has occurred in their lives. I excel at supporting people who experience intense emotions or worry that they are “too much.” Additionally, I specialize in treating individuals exploring their gender identity and/or sexuality. I enjoy offering informed and non-judgmental therapy for LGBTQAI people. My focuses include the asexual spectrum, the kink community, people practicing ethical non-monogamy, and individuals with fetishes.

I believe that each person has the innate ability to overcome life's challenging obstacles. I'm committed to supporting each client and often times their family members through their journey. I have extensive experience working with complex/developmental trauma, PTSD/TBI, attachment disorders, dissociative identity disorders, personality disorders, suicide ideation/intervention/attempt, LGBTQ issues, Veteran specific services and place an emphasis on using the most advanced evidenced based modalities in my practice with clients.

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 can fluently provide counseling in English & Spanish. I like using a non-pathological and teamwork approach where the clients are the experts of their own lives. I specialize in working with individuals, families, couples, and children, focusing on helping them reach their desired goals. To do so, I use the following evidence-based perspectives: CBT, DBT, EMDR, Gottman (Couples), Play Therapy, and Mindfulness. I have noticed that clients seek more self-improvement after graduating from our therapy work. We would be a great fit if you are highly motivated to do the job.

We are all in a relationship with ourselves. Sometimes things happen to that relationship. Painful emotional injury can leave people twisted in their sense of self or lost to self entirely. Whether that injury comes suddenly, or it persists as a thousand little wounds, it can make people feel broken. I can’t make all that go away, but I can listen.
