Therapists in Myton, UT

“While it is always best to believe in oneself, a little help from others can be a great blessing.” -Uncle Iroh (ATLA) I feel honored to be in a position where I am able to sit down with people and hear their experiences. I recognize it takes immense courage to choose to engage in the therapeutic process. I am here to hold a space for you to find authenticity, insight, and growth, wherever it takes you. I want to walk with you while you begin the work required for healing. I truly believe you are worthy of your own self-compassion, and I want to help you believe that for yourself.

I am passionate about creating a safe and connecting environment, and meeting my clients on their level and on their terms.

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.

My approach is centered around empowering my clients to tap into their own innate capacity for healing.

My identity as a person and clinician developed during my time at Randolph-Macon Woman's College where I lived among confident and intelligent women from all over the world. I learned the value of asking questions and began to understand the value of ambiguity in one's search for clarity. I believe there is goodness within us and that we deserve a chance to be our genuine selves in the presence of others. I aim to provide a safe space for self-expression and discovery. Clients are offered a confidential, non-judgmental environment where they are heard and understood.

Therapy is about you–your values, needs, goals, and desires in life. I am here to cheer you on and provide insight and support as needed. While I have professional experience and education, I believe you are the expert on and author of your life. I treat therapy as a team effort where we can explore current happenings in your life, circumstances that have shaped you, wounds that need healing, patterns in your life, and so much more. I advocate for self-discovery and self-empowerment, and I want to help you live a life of authenticity and healing.
