Therapists in Utah

I have over 20 years experience working and growing with the continually developing mental health field. I believe in the immovable strength that all people have within them. Trauma, pain, and disheartenment are all part of the human experience. We are all connected by these experiences, and our abilities to overcome life’s greatest challenges. Therapy is not a "one size fits all" approach and I believe strongly in my ability to work with the diversity of mental health issues.

Each of us have beliefs and experiences that impact our ability to form meaningful relationships, accomplish goals, or accept ourselves. My hope is to help the individuals, couples and families I work with challenge these negative beliefs and guide them in using skills to develop a stronger sense of self and more stable relationships. Over the past decade I have specifically worked with adolescents, young adults and their families. I love this stage of life, the change that can take place is amazing if given the right tools. Balancing independence and connection for individuals and family is one of my main goals in therapy.

Welcome! I am so happy that you are taking the next step towards finding healing for yourself. No matter what brings you to the search for a therapist, I hope you realize that you deserve to be seen, heard, and given a space to store your deepest desires, deepest pains, and deepest joys in life. I strive to work from an anti-oppressive lens, acknowledging the significant impact of interpersonal, systemic and intergenerational trauma. I come from a person-center, trauma-informed approach to highlight your innate resiliency in our work together. I provide support for anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, relationship issues, etc

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.

I believe that each person has the innate ability to overcome life's challenging obstacles. I'm committed to supporting each client and often times their family members through their journey. I have extensive experience working with complex/developmental trauma, PTSD/TBI, attachment disorders, dissociative identity disorders, personality disorders, suicide ideation/intervention/attempt, LGBTQ issues, Veteran specific services and place an emphasis on using the most advanced evidenced based modalities in my practice with clients.

I strongly believe our attachment and trauma play a role in our day to day functioning. My goal is to create a safe space for exploration and through clinically tested evidence-based interventions help people heal and integrate any unresolved trauma. This will help alleviate symptoms and improve life. Everyone deserves to be fully present in their life without the burdens and pains of the past or worries about the future weighing them down. I have a strong interest in depression, anxiety, and recovery from abusive relationships.

I like to come at therapy kind of like I would a drummer at a jam session. I'm there to find a groove with another voice. I want to communicate with you and help you to open up and learn to express yourself. We will seek understanding first and then we will find a way to encourage healing and growth that is unique to you and builds a stronger identity. I am strengths-based and I like to find existing skills to help a client build a new way of thinking and interacting with their body. This is also a very effective way of beginning the process of healing symptoms of PTSD in conjunction with other evidence based trauma treatments.

Anxiety sucks! I've watched anxiety almost destroy my children and their friends. Is anxiety controlling your life? I've put together a team of therapists that care about you and your situation. Did you know there are hundreds of ways to manage anxiety, stress, depression and compulsive behaviors? My team and I want to help you discover hope and acceptance while managing your anxiety. When you have the right tools and techniques in place, you can live life without fear and panic. We can help you find purpose in the midst of all the anxiety you're experiencing.

As a therapist, religious educator, and army chaplain I have a unique background and passion for helping families, couples, and individuals cope with life's stress. I specialize in helping teens, young adults, and their families overcome anxiety, depression, and conflict. With my training in marriage and family therapy I love helping couples reduce conflict and increase marital satisfaction.

My approach to therapy is deeply collaborative, intensive and dynamic.  We will work together to get to the heart of the impasse that you’re experiencing in your life, no matter how debilitating or serious it may be.  I will help you to develop the awarenesses, the confidence and the tools to not only move forward, but to unlock a whole new realm of possibilities for you and those you love.  What I’ve been told often throughout my 18 years as a therapist is that I am direct and honest in a way that is refreshing, while unwavering and unrelenting in my compassion and care.

I provide counseling to individuals and couples in the Salt Lake City area. I work with my clients to identify issues clearly and help them to create lasting change. Once this change occurs, problems will be seen as opportunities, rather than failures. I am often told by my clients they feel a level of trust, acceptance and comfort that has been missing with other therapists. When working with individuals, I use acceptance and mindfulness based approaches to manage anxiety and other symptoms you may be experiencing. I will help you look at negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a fulfilling life.

Are you dealing with a lifestyle change or transition? I specialize in assisting individuals and families who are going through a transition in their life. These transitions could include; divorce, job loss, re-entering the work force, becoming a teenager, becoming an adult, leaving or changing your religion, relocating to a new area, entering a new relationship, navigating parenthood, losing a loved one, getting sober, exploring gender identity/sexuality and more. If you are feeling stuck or finding it difficult to cope with your current situation now is the perfect time for action and I'd be honored to help.

The decision to seek out a therapist is an important first step towards positively addressing conflicts, managing distress, and learning to cope with negative or overwhelming feelings. Our team of therapists bring years of therapy experience. We work with children, adolescents, adults, and families who are Deaf or come from Deaf families (includes hearing family/friends who sign). We provide a supportive, nurturing environment. We use a multimodal approach incorporating mind-body therapies with evidence-based treatments. We also offer forensic-clinical services and applied behavior analysis treatment.

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.

My office will be a space where you can feel comfortable and safe. Therapy requires vulnerability and sitting with discomfort. With me, you'll receive a lot of compassion and support. My expertise in processing trauma, as well as the coping skills I can teach you, will benefit your life in a positive way, if you choose to implement them. Do you ever have “big” reactions to things that don’t necessarily fit the situation? Does it get in the way of feeling confident in yourself or your relationships? That is an exhausting experience.
