Therapists in Spring City, UT

Do you or your child feel stressed out by the basic responsibilities of daily life? Or feel overwhelmed by strong sensory input? Or feel emotions deeply in both positive and negative ways? Are you or your child regularly told you're too sensitive, shy or spacy? If you answer yes then I would love to help you! I am passionate about helping helping adults & kids who deal with emotional & sensory sensitivity. In both adults and children feeling overwhelmed can result in symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD and aggression. I love helping adults and kids build stronger esteem and connection with themselves and each other.

Welcome to a supportive space where you can explore your thoughts & emotions. I work with young adults (ages 18-34) & women in midlife (35-50ish), blending therapeutic approaches including Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore the complexities of your mental wellness. Together, we'll navigate your inner world, working to be grounded in the present moment. We'll nurture your holistic well-being – mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually – embracing the entirety of who you are, including your strengths, vulnerabilities, and everything in between. I prefer in-person sessions in my Murray office.

In a perfect world, we would all be assigned a therapist at birth, just as we are a pediatrician. Mental health is health, after all. Having a therapist to listen, affirm, encourage, and maybe even challenge you is incredibly healing. I don’t believe that clients necessarily ‘need’ therapy, but that they deserve excellent therapy. I have a passion for working with millennials and young adults. My professional experience in wilderness therapy also drives my interest in working with outdoor enthusiasts who have a history of trauma or mental health concerns.

My clients have described me as kind, authentic, and warm. I prioritize creating an emotionally safe environment to investigate internal conflict and facilitate self love and acceptance. I help clients to understand their emotions on a deeper level giving them the ability to move forward in life with new clarity and confidence. In a world that prioritizes independence and self determination, reaching out for help can often feel like fighting basic instincts. If you are struggling with feeling alone, unsupported or disconnected from yourself and others, I am so glad you are here.

My practice focuses on LGBTQ+ and BIPOC issues relating to anxiety and depression, with an emphasis on relationships and sex. Common topics include relationship anxiety and ambivalence, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), hook-up culture, non-monogamy, kink, infidelity, and problematic sex and porn use.

We all go through challenges, but the level of struggle we face is different. Confiding in someone with compassion, empathy, and deep understanding is everything when navigating life’s struggles. Amy is a CMHC-I, who is graduating with her Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in May 2024. Amy graduated with Honors with her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Utah Valley University (2022), and has continued on her path to become a clinical therapist.

I currently provide telehealth services for anyone residing in California or Utah. I believe the core self knows what we need in order to heal if we listen. I have experience with teens/adults who struggle with suicidality/self-injury, trauma, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, life-transitions, and spiritual/religious crises. We apply in-depth DBT, and also (importantly) what comes after DBT. I am trained in Mindfulness, DBT Foundations, EMDR, and Sand Tray work. I work well with spiritual orientations, behavioral approaches, narrative and strengths-based work. My doctoral research focused on self-injury.

Life can be hard. Do you need someone who can see and hear you? To have someone who respects your time in therapy? A therapist who makes you feel as if you have entered a safe space where you are received with warmth, understanding, sensitivity, and nonjudgment. A place where you may unburden yourself, explore your thoughts and emotions freely, and share your most vulnerable side in private. I want to be that someone for you - I am here for you.

There are things in life that can lead us adrift, where we may feel that something is missing, have dissatisfaction with our life, or feel stuck in a situation that is draining and dysfunctional but do not know the way out. I’ve found the experiences of our developmental years, to often color the way we see the world, and can create patterns that hinder access to our true self, and thus, a full and conscious life. I believe that authenticity, resilience, and self-efficacy are crucial to living a satisfying life, and I want to help you move through the wounds that have kept you from getting there.
