Therapists in Utah

I completed my Masters in Social Work at the University of Utah in 2000 and my LCSW in 2002. Since that time, I have worked in various clinical settings from school counseling, residential care, foster-care, outpatient clinics and private practice. My therapeutic style evokes the strength and wisdom already inherent within each individual. My role as a therapist is to guide and inspire clients through an empathetic, straight forward approach to learn coping skills and secure a foundation for truly lasting changes.

I believe that everything we do in life comes from experiences that’ve shaped us.Depending on the intensity of the event & how our body perceives it, it’ll be logged into our nervous system as a safe or an unsafe experience.Our bodies at the basic level want to feel safe and will create behaviors (healthy/unhealthy) to protect us.For most, when we feel bad later about our behaviors, this means our body perceived the event as a threat.We’ll explore with a curious mindset why this is happening and boundaries that can be put in place.We will evaluate /decipher what coping skills/behaviors are harmful and re-program them in your body.
