Therapists in Utah

Trauma and EMDR are my passions due to personal experiences with PTSD and the healing I’ve witnessed and experienced through EMDR. I have worked with individuals in a generalized practice experience including anxiety, depression, OCD, suicidality, childhood abuse, etc... Am gaining an increased skill level with those who have experienced PTSD, complex PTSD, Dissociative Disorders (general), & Dissociative Identity Disorder. Attachment Theory, Adaptive Information Processing Model, Polyvagal Theory and Systems Theory are the bases from which I work.

My approach to psychotherapy is centered around you, the client. Together we address emotional distress caused by relationship conflict, grief, addiction, sudden/chronic illness, life adjustments and trauma. Each person is unique, therefore we explore your needs and goals to promote growth, empowerment and lasting change. I have experience treating depression, anxiety, PTSD , mood dysregulation, personality disorders, substance abuse and other addictive behaviors. I have worked extensively both with survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence as well as First Responders.

We don't typically change until the pain and discomfort of staying the same becomes too much. I believe there is hope. I believe it is possible to make lasting change. I believe you already have what it takes. Together we can uncover the problems of your past & work to gain positive, healthy change. With a trustworthy ear, I offer a pathway we can walk together in creating a sustainable & structured path for lasting recovery. Navigating the wake of shame & uncertainty from unwanted compulsive sexual behavior & betrayal trauma is difficult. Creating safety & trust are a priority.

I am accepting new clients and offer Online Counseling via Telehealth. I've provided over 10,000 hours of therapy and like Confucius said, "Choose a job you love, and you will never work a day in your life." I managed LDS Family Services for 13 years and loved directing the 12-step Addiction Recovery Program in Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania. I've been recruited by multiple residential treatment centers, a hospital, a skilled nursing facility, and by an IOP program assessing and treating substance abuse and domestic violence.

Addiction and its accompanying issues make life a struggle for both the client and for those who love them. Those in active addiction intuitively know there is a gap between the life they're demonstrating and the possibilities their potential affords - if they could only get out of their own way. My methods promote profound fundamental change: the shedding of self-destructive attributes, the definition of a clear, compelling vision for the future, and the tools clients need to implement strategies that will enable them to become the best possible version of themselves.

Relationships are one of the most important things in life. Whether that be with a partner, spouse, parent, child or other family member. We understand that strengthening and maintaining those relationships is at the top or your list. It’s at the top of our list too! Change is possible if you have a desire to learn and apply the skills and knowledge you will acquire through participating in therapy.

Voted Utah's Best Therapist 2022 + 2023. My approach centers the wisdom of our body, nature + relationships as the most valuable components in healing. Under enough stress, all humans make adaptations to survival. These survival strategies do a great job when they are first learned, but when continued outside of the context of their creation, they can reenact + reinforce patterns that are no longer helpful. It’s in this understanding that we work together to identify where patterns began, what behaviors were learned for emotional and physical survival + how we can create new ways of interacting in the world that feel more whole.

My purpose and passion is to help people who have experienced addiction and mental health issues (like myself). Let's transcend your painful experiences together so that you can achieve genuine and lasting fulfillment in life. My therapeutic approach is derived from several evidence-based and trauma-informed models of intervention. I believe in a highly-collaborative approach, and will individualize therapy to suit your specific needs and preferences. I utilize a strengths-based perspective to assist you in addressing whatever challenges you're facing. Come embark on a journey of discovery with me, to expand your own capabilities...

I believe the story you tell yourself about yourself and your relationships is far more meaningful and descriptive than a diagnosis or other label that may have been placed on you. My goal is to assist you in gaining clarity about that story, who you are and where you are in life – your aspirations, talents, skills, obligations, and needs – so you can move confidently into the future, staying connected to those you love and the things that bring you joy. Don’t be a victim of fear, insecurity, or disappointment – harness your natural abilities, virtues, and powers to be the hero of your life.

Friends and family are great resource. They care about you and are often so uneasy with seeing you upset that it's difficult for them to help you address the hard areas in life. Because they don't want to see you unhappy, they often tell you 'want' to hear when a good therapist will help you discover what you need to hear. Whether it be situational (relational issues, job-loss, unexpected death) or something more long-term like trauma, addiction, depression and anxiety. Investing time with a licensed therapist can help. You are stronger and more resilient than you realize and I look forward to working with you.

Feeling stuck in life? Struggling with compulsive behavior? Battling sexual addiction and the shame that accompanies it? Suffering from traumatic betrayal in your relationship? These are heavy issues for most therapists to treat, much less trying to navigate them on your own.
