Attachment-based Therapists in Park City, UT

Welcome to my practice! The world is changing in profound ways. I am here to help you navigate these new realities in your family, work and love relationships. My therapy style with both couples and individuals is warm, collaborative and nurturing. For couples, I will help guide you out of distress and back to loving connection, paying close attention to emotional intimacy, differences in sexual desire, chronic fighting, communication breakdowns and infidelity/betrayals. For individuals, I will help you find your way back from depression, anxiety, grief and relationship challenges. Let me help you grow and flourish.

I believe everyone has what it takes to find joy, peace, and love in their lives through vulnerability and connection. After working through my own trials, I discovered that I wanted to help others and decided to become a therapist. I found a love for listening to others and trying to understand how their stories have shaped their view of themselves and the world. I enjoy connecting with people by encouraging them to explore new ways to find happiness within themselves and their relationships.

We experience difficulties. We are all worthy of love and belonging. I provide a safe haven, a supportive non-judgmental place to grow and heal. I enjoy sharing the journey as motivated individuals and couples release patterns which no longer serve them, while discovering their strengths, resilience, goals, and, new ways of being and sharing. Sometimes, we need to acknowledge our limitations and reach for help to find our way. I am here for clients as they explore feelings and needs, and discover paths to more vibrant, connected lives ~ while making changes, or being with "what is" with new perspectives.

"I offer an integrated, creative approach to psychotherapy focusing on the unique needs, interests and vitality of each of my clients.I am dedicated to processes that help individuals discover new solutions to difficult life challenges and achieve important life dreams and goals. I am committed to nonjudgmental, optimistic, realistic approaches. As no single method suits everyone, my own approach draws from energy and positive psychology, attachment theory, humanistic, existential, and depth psychology. I offer Solution-Focused Brief Therapies as well as long term continuous care. We can meet in my private office or get outside for alternative settings such as hiking, walking, snowshoeing, etc.

In 30+ years as a couples therapist, I've helped many couples work through problems to create the kind of partnership they truly want. Most couples tell me that they want to feel connected with their partner again; to stop the 'same old arguments' from cycling over and over; to stop living like roommates; to end the painful silences; to feel heard and understood; and to feel hopeful, and happy again.

Our relationships with our children can push us to a place of emotion that we never knew possible. Yes, to the depths of love and devotion! But parenting can also be one of the most overwhelming things we do. And most of us don’t get the support we need to do it. I help parents enhance their relationships with their children, providing support and strategies so parents can be the people they want to be and build resilient and thriving families. I have dedicated my career to helping parents gain the tools and support they need while doing the all-important work of raising communities of resilient and thriving children.

Therapy can help name experience, holding the moving pieces that keep bumping up against the edges of your consciousness, organizing them, fitting them back together in a way that makes sense and returning them to you with skills to manage them. Sometimes though, the articulate and self aware client will spend hours explaining things they already understand, while still feeling unseen and disconnected, like their inner world is still being missed, knowing there is hurt and dissonance but needing someone to help them connect to it. My holistic mind, heart and body approach can bring you to a place of both naming and experiencing.

I work hard to help my clients feel heard and teach them the skills they need to cope with the challenges of life. I also help them to find their voice and teach them to share it with those around them. Life is challenging, especially in the tough environment we live in today. I love learning and am trained in a wide variety of modalities. A few of my trainings include play therapy, trauma, EMDR, CBT, and LGBTQ+.

I strive to create a safe and supportive relationship with my clients. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, playful and direct. I bring a mindful perspective to therapy and see most of life's transitions and struggles as opportunities for growth. I have been practicing for 20 years and love what I do.

Creating a space and an environment where you as the client feel welcomed, safe, heard, and understood is my goal. Whether you are a couple struggling through a difficult time or overcoming an affair, or an individual suffering from anxiety or depression, I aim to help you grow, develop coping skills, and find a healthy balance in your life. Using a variety of approaches from Cognitive-Based Therapy, to Gottman couples therapy, to Emotion-Focused Therapy and Strength-Based Therapy approaches, I work with you to find the right method and technique to help you improve your life and your relationships.

Life can be complicated and full of traumatic events that overwhelm us. As a result, problematic patterns that negatively affect almost every area of life may begin. These overwhelming events may also negatively shift beliefs about self, others, and the world at large. Once this occurs, it can be difficult to repair without professional help. Additionally, trauma can be unique to the individual. It's not always a confrontation with mortality but rather, a deep hurt or betrayal by someone we should have been able to trust.

Working in community mental health and the broad scope of clients I have worked has taught me the most important skill that is needed in psychotherapy- connection! My greatest skill is the ability to build rapport, connection and ultimately a therapeutic relationship, which is the cornerstone of success in therapy. This happens through active listening, determining the problem's and diagnosis, then creating a personalized treatment plan with goals. My most successful clients are the ones who put in the work outside of the sessions to meet there prescribed goals. 'Nothing changes if nothing changes'.

Therapy should be approached in a nonjudgmental fashion. We come from all walks of life, and our views and values may vary. Together we can create a safe and inviting atmosphere for you to tell your story, and be heard. I work with children, adolescents, and adults from varying backgrounds with different presenting needs. I can assist you in self-exploration at your desired level: to help you understand past and present experiences impacting your current life; to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself; to feel healthier and more satisfied by maximizing your individual potential and better understanding limiting beliefs.

My belief is that patients are always the experts on themselves, and they may simply need a compassionate, neutral party to help them better know and understand what they want, think, and feel. A good therapist offers more support than advice and listens and pays attention to what is said and what is not said. Because people excel at doing what they are used to doing, change can be difficult. Having someone guide them along the way can increase one’s capacity for and likelihood of success.

Starting a new position in Park City & Murray June 3. It does not matter who you are, how old you are, what you have done, or what has happened to you. You are valuable just because you are here! As a military spouse for over 20 years, an immigrant, and a person that has encountered many of life's challenges, I know that we don't always choose what has happened to us. Sometimes on our journey, we encounter experiences that cause tremendous pain, depression, trauma, and anxiety. I would love to explore your story with you, and create a therapeutic relationship that empowers you as a person, and leads to healing and personal growth!
