Therapists in Garden City, 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.

I approach therapy with a nonjudgmental perspective and a curiosity to understand the unique experiences leading clients to therapy. I believe a strong, genuine connection and collaboration between therapist and client can not only be an opportunity to improve coping skills and process through trauma and other difficulties, but also a catalyst to improving access to experiences of joy and contentment in life. I support clients with their therapy goals whether returning or starting for the first time. Therapy is often a brave journey of exploring the parts of ourselves that we might avoid… feeling scared, sad, angry, confused.

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2019, and I have experience supporting young adults and adults with concerns such as addictions, substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship/ family issues, and anger management. My ideal client would like to resolve these issues by empowering themselves to learn how to counter negative thoughts, regulate emotions, tolerate moments of distress, communicate effectively, and mindfully stay within the present moment. My ideal client would like to learn these skills in order to manifest their ideal life and be the best version of themselves.

Life and relationships bring vulnerability, often accompanied by pain and betrayal. Unprocessed, these experiences shape our self-image and future connections. Hurt or trauma can leave us feeling small, lonely, and burdened by secrecy or shame. Collaboratively, I help clients unlock patterns and painful experiences, fostering awareness and facilitating their journey towards embracing a fuller, unencumbered life.

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.

Whether you feel like you’re struggling with handling your emotions, experiencing contention, have feelings of being stuck, or if you just want to see change in your life, a fulfilling path is possible for you. My goal is to make therapy a safe place where closeness, trust, joy, fulfillment, and authenticity can be built in the way you need it.

I believe that every person deserves beautiful relationships built on trust, compassion, effective communication, and mutual respect. If you're in a new relationship, therapy can be an ideal place to create a strong foundation for lasting love. Therapy is also for people facing the most difficult personal and relationship challenges such as chronic mental health concerns, extreme conflict, trauma, parenting/family issues, and profound betrayal. I have an unwavering commitment to helping individuals and couples heal, renew connections, or make brave decisions to choose new unknown paths.

Few of us get through this life without experiencing some trauma. Yet we all have the capacity to experience post-traumatic growth with the help of therapist whose role is to remove barriers that prevent us from moving past our past. When clients leave my office they have improved capacity for facing life head-on. Finding the right therapist is about “fit,” which is about feeling affirmed and validated for who you are.

As a growing expert in trauma, mindfulness, and body-mind bridging across the lifespan, I will strive to assist you with your concerns. My approach is light-hearted and evidence informed. I often integrate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectics, and psychodynamics into my education-based style. We will certainly work on attachment concerns and healthy "relating," too.

Life is a roller-coaster: often challenging and sometimes overwhelming. However, I believe that everyone can find their strength and their own path through trauma and difficult decisions. This journey can be painful and difficult, as well as rewarding and liberating. I would like to be your guide on this healing journey and support you in connecting with your own self, recognizing your own needs, working on creating new boundaries, breaking cycles of unhealthy patterns, and developing new healthy relationships.

Who could you be if you were able to manage your emotions skillfully and without self-criticism? The fact that you are reading these words right now tells me you’re on the path toward discovering the answer to that question. It takes strength to seek support and I am so happy you have found yourself here. I work with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma/PTSD.

I am a dedicated therapist with a passion for helping folks on their path to self-discovery and self-worth. I believe that true growth and healing occur in a safe and nurturing space where you have the ability to embrace your vulnerability. I’m committed to social justice, embracing feminist theory, and a systemic perspective.

I have an extensive 20-year background as a therapist in a multitude of settings. I am committed and passionate to my work in helping individuals and families find their inner strength and resilience to live their best life.

I also utilize mindfulness-based ACT therapy techniques with my clients. I am a MindShield practitioner and trainer as well.

I specialize working with first-generation millennial women who are navigating marriage, parenthood, new relationship or career changes. Although on the outside you may appear to "have it all together", internally you may struggle with feelings of inadequacy, have a hard time asking or receiving help, and fear failure or disappointing others. You want to feel more confident in asserting your boundaries, be better able to communicate your needs in relationships, and want to adapt more positive beliefs about yourself.

My treatment approach places an emphasis on the mind-body relationship and is both experiential and pragmatic. I specialize in the treatment of mood and behavior-related disorders as well as culture-based identity conflict. I work with families, adolescents, teens, and individuals to help them develop deeper connections to themselves, and stronger more fulfilling relationships with others, resulting in increased vitality, improved quality of life, and joy. I am honored to partner with you and your family on the journey towards restoration and growth.

Ever feel like you're on the outside looking in? Maybe it's your gender, your weight, your sexual orientation, your race, your spiritual beliefs, your past experiences... Somehow you just don't fit. You tell yourself if you could find the right person, or look a certain way, or just forget about what happened to you, you'd break through. Instead, all these reasons pile up and separate you from the life you "should" be living. Sound familiar? I work with clients every day who struggle to connect, and I see how the loneliness eats at them. They're so desperate for change, but they feel trapped by old patterns.
