Therapists in Clinton, UT

Specializing in attachment-based, client-centered, and cognitive-behavioral approaches, I guide clients through shifts in beliefs, purpose, and identity. My therapeutic approach includes attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Whether questioning faith, exploring sexual or gender identity, or re-evaluating relationships, I provide a judgment-free space to understand and process these changes.

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!

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.

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.

Life can be difficult, presenting us with unanticipated obstacles that sometimes challenge our capacities to cope. Your decision to seek out a therapist is a courageous one and represents a significant personal step forward. I see therapy as a collaborative process to meet individuals where they are, so as to explore together what they want to get out of the therapeutic experience.

I am very excited and dedicated to my therapy career and I love helping others find their true selves through the process of healing. I believe in connecting to our emotions and experiences to better understand ourselves and to essentially grow personally and relationally. I also have a passion for helping people understand their trauma and learn how to heal from it. Finally, I look forward to collaborating with my clients to help them develop new skills and learn how to develop resiliency in the face of life's struggles.
