Attachment-based Therapists in Richmond, UT

I am thrilled to start serving the people of Cache Valley full time! I would love nothing more than to help you and/or your loved ones overcome difficulties and to help you set and achieve your goals.

Accepting new clients. Engaging in the honest conversations of therapy and feeling fully seen and fully understood leads to healing. These types of conversations can be rare in everyday life. I strive to foster a therapeutic relationship in which you can be genuine and vulnerable. As a psychologist I value warmth, acceptance, and patience. I bring years of clinical training as well as knowledge of research-based practices to therapy while also recognizing you as the expert of your own experience. With that in mind, I prioritize listening closely and tailoring our sessions to what you want from therapy.

I'm here to work with anyone who feels like a misfit and outcast in this community. Especially LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent folk. Also all sexual, relationship, and gender orientations and all body types. I see you! I welcome you! You are accepted as you are! Feeling different can often lead to trauma, and trauma can lead to feeling misunderstood and hopelessness. I'm here for it all. I'm here to help you heal and thrive in this wonderful, crazy world. I also work with couples navigating mixed-faith marriages, non-monogamy, intimacy, and communication barriers.

As a therapist, I work with children, teenagers and adults at every stage of life. Whether you are struggling with everyday stressors, conflict in your relationships or are in need of healing from trauma I will provide a safe, compassionate, nonjudgmental space for you to begin your healing journey. Our therapeutic alliance will provide you with the insights and tools to make the changes you seek in your life and relationships. I will supportively walk alongside and help you discover a deeper understanding of yourself and the life you desire.

Life can be challenging and throw things at us that feel unimaginable. I believe that people are also in charge of their own lives and can change if they put their minds to it. Feelings of enoughness, connection, and belonging are crucial to a well rounded and fulfilling life. People often underestimate and miscalculate their capability and value and want to feel seen, heard and important. I work with teens and adults who are working through depression, anxiety, trauma, attachment issues, family issues and addiction. I have extensive experiencing in helping heal the family system and helping individuals find their best selves.

Whether you are encountering personal problems, relationship issues, life adjustments, or confronting trauma; therapy has the potential to offer you support, consistency, and insight to help. I seek to address both the immediate presenting problems you are dealing with and the deeper, more long term issues that may be contributing as well. I value genuine connection, humor, suspending judgment, and supporting others in all phases of life in my therapeutic approach. Through the lens of these values I utilize a range of therapeutic modalities including; ACT, EMDR, Brainspotting, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and a humanistic approach.

Are you feeling weighed down by the weight of your past, struggling to move forward? Do you long to break free from the cycle of pain and trauma, and live a life filled with joy and purpose? As your therapist, I understand how difficult these challenges can be, and I am here to offer my support, therapeutic interventions, and guidance. With a focus on deep healing and trauma work, I will assist you to process your emotions, heal your wounds, and move forward with confidence and clarity.

As your therapist, I will work from a humanistic approach, which means you are the expert on your own life. My role is to help you move through trauma and ineffective behaviors to more fully understand and respect yourself. This means that I trust your instincts and your body. All of the work we do will be done through a trauma-based lens to encourage self-compassion and challenge shame. Your life going forward doesn't have to be a repeat of your past. We can shift these patterns through becoming fully present in your body and with your emotions. I strongly encourage people to use their intuition to help guide their healing.

Immediate Availability + Free First Session. If you are battling sexual addiction or have been wounded from betrayal, we can help you recover your heart and heal. If you feel hopeless like there is no way through the pain or shame, you're not alone. We've helped hundreds of men and women work through these same issues and they have healed wounds.

Life can be challenging, and having the right person in your corner is a valuable resource. I would love to find out if I can be that right person for you. Every one of us seeks to feel seen, heard, and understood. In therapy, I give space for you to share your experiences. Noticing the patterns of how you connect with others (and yourself) can help enrich your relationships. I trust that you know yourself better than anyone else, and I will provide an outside view to empower you to navigate the shifts and changes you are facing.

I work with individuals, couples, and families to create new experiences that lead to healing, including healthier attachments and liberation from pain, shame, blame, sadness, fear and other painful emotions. As a marriage and family therapist, I have been trained in systemic therapy and include the context of relationships in my clinical work. My approach looks at the whole person and the whole system and involves Experiential, Structural, Emotionally Focused and Gestalt psychotherapy models. I am also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an eye-movement based therapy for the treatment of trauma.

I look forward to serving those who wish to find purpose and harmony in themselves and with others in their lives; whether it may be learning constructive communication skills, dealing with differences, overcoming past trauma or wanting to enrich relationships. If you struggle with depression, anxiety, dealing with traumatic experiences, adjusting to change, cultural issues, and so on, and want to find ways to cope with and rise above them, I am here to aid you on your journey.

Does it seem like you take care of everyone else, but have difficulty taking care of you? Do you wish you felt better about yourself and wish you could create healthier and happier relationships? We are here to help. In 2002, I had a vision of gathering a group of excellent clinicians to be a mental health and family relationship resource for our community. My vision has been realized! I have an excellent team of colleagues at At Wasatch Family Therapy. We will guide you through the therapy process in a comfortable atmosphere that will put you at ease, and help you make the changes you desire. We work with clients as young as 3+.

I recognize your efforts and desire to obtain happiness and healing in your life and relationships and I am so happy that you are here. To help you, I strive to create an environment where you can feel safe to go to your hurt places and navigate your healing processes, whether as an individual, couple, or family seeking therapy. I know this can be difficult, so I work hard to be there with you in the process to help you experience real changes in your life and relationships.

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.

Life is hard. I have found it to be a little easier when you have someone to talk to, who you also trust. I love what I do, and enjoy being able to support individuals, couples, teens and children through the challenges of life. I have specialized training in working with children, adolescents, and couples. I strive to help motivated clients increase their confidence, overcome traumatic experiences and create a more peaceful life. I do this mainly through Attachment-based approaches.

I deeply enjoy working with adults with ADHD, anxiety, and/or depression, and those who want to gain a deeper understanding of who they are. You may have the experience of feeling disconnected from others or difficulty knowing how you bring value to the world. If you have (or suspect you have) ADHD, you may feel overwhelmed from constantly trying to fit into a box that wasn't made for you. Together, we will explore your struggles, values, history, and strengths to cope with challenges and begin to feel more connected with yourself and those you care about.
