Therapists in Myton, UT

I believe your treatment needs to be as unique as you are! To guide our work, I use your intuitive sense about what you need from therapy, and an individualized combination of tools that work best for you. The main modalities I use are EMDR, IFS (Internal Family Systems, or 'Parts Work'), art therapy, mindfulness, and somatic tools. I also have additional training working with children, and generally use play therapy and sandtray therapy with them. My trained therapy dog Pippin (hypoallergenic) attends sessions as well! In my spare time you can find me mountain biking, snowboarding, doing yoga, or following creative pursuits.

I believe that we could heal the world if we would only first seek to heal ourselves. Some of the most life changing moments come when we decide to sit with our discomfort and ride that wave to healing. Though the pain and anguish can make these moments feel unconquerable, taking the steps toward your own healing allows these obstacles to become a period of transformation, growth, or liberation. Together we can explore your journey and the answers that you hold within.

I am accepting new clients and offer Online Counseling via Telehealth. I've provided over 10,000 hours of therapy and like Confucius said, "Choose a job you love, and you will never work a day in your life." I managed LDS Family Services for 13 years and loved directing the 12-step Addiction Recovery Program in Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania. I've been recruited by multiple residential treatment centers, a hospital, a skilled nursing facility, and by an IOP program assessing and treating substance abuse and domestic violence.
