Therapists in Cottonwood Heights, UT

I love working with clients (especially children, adolescents, and families!) from diverse backgrounds who are looking to find answers and solve any issues they may be struggling with. I am passionate about my work and believe in radical acceptance of all people. I am an LGBTQ+ affirmative psychologist. As a mother of five children, I understand many of the issues that families face and I strive to be a caring, upfront, and empathic psychologist who helps clients work toward achieving their goals. I also offer psychological testing.

As a therapist, I feel honored to join my clients on their journey of healing as they are reminded of their strengths and learn new skills to overcome their challenges. I understand the importance of building trust with my clients, respecting their stories without judgment, and creating a safe space for them to be open and vulnerable. I find joy in helping my clients better understand themselves and their past and present relationships, let go of negative core beliefs and patterns that are no longer serving them, and ultimately believe that they are enough.

Are you a high-achiever? Do you struggle with perfectionism in your work, relationships, and self-image? Do you keep moving the bar higher and higher for yourself?

I would work with you to identify the root causes of your struggles and give you the tools necessary to grow beyond these challenges.

Your sleep, job performance, and relationships can suffer. You might even experience compassion fatigue as you operate more and more in survival mode. But you are not alone.
