Therapists in Ogden, UT

As an experienced child and family therapist, I am committed to providing you with the tools needed to rid your relationships of conflict, pain and frustration. I offer a safe, nurturing environment where those suffering from mental health concerns will be treated with empathy and compassion. I believe you matter and deserve to be recognized, valued and understood. You are a person of worth. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness or failure.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience. I want to help people live their authentic lives. I’m a good listener with judgment-free regard for others. I have been trained to treat trauma from a variety of sources i.e. military, police, first responders, abuse and grief, using EMDR and ART. I work with couples, adults, and adolescents with many issues including depression, anxiety, personality disorders, grief, ADHD, body dysmorphia, gender dysphoria, LGBTQ+ and addiction. I use several modalities including CBT, ACT and Gottman strategies.

The best part about being a therapist is seeing the positive emotional and physical responses my clients gain from therapy. I think of myself as a guide in helping people navigate challenges in their life. Everybody has challenges and obstacles they must face in their lifetime. But not one experience is the same. How we process our emotions, how and what we believe about ourselves and the world around us is as unique as we are. It’s an emotional fingerprint. I want to hear about the emotional fingerprints, both good and bad so I can better understand how to guide you away from the bad and onto a path of self-healing.

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 have noticed that clients seek more self-improvement after graduating from our therapy work. We would be a great fit if you are highly motivated to do the job.

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.
