Therapists in Utah

I specialize in helping families, couples and individuals. I am also trained in helping single adults, adolescents, children and those in emotionally abusive situations. I am trained in many therapy techniques including EMDR, DBT, CBT, DNMS, IFS and attachment based therapy among others. I use a variety of tools and techniques to ensure each client has a personally tailored experience. Therapy doesn't have to take years - you can be on your way to a healthier happier way of relating to people and the world around you sooner than you may think.

Have you ever felt ashamed? Ever felt like others don’t understand you, but say they do? Those have been my own experiences and have led me to work with people in recovery and their families, survivors of domestic violence/abuse, minority communities and teens. I come from a multi-cultural family with an immigrant parent which has both enriched my life and created unique struggles for me. These experiences, however, have helped me empathize with a wide variety of people and situations. My goals are to support my clients as they navigate their struggles and find hope and strength within themselves.

One of my personal mottos is “I am still learning” and I use the same perspective with clients as we work to address your needs in therapy together. Through the therapeutic process, I hope to empower you with greater understanding and compassion for yourself and for what you are learning from your experiences and choices. I am an advocate for educating the general public about mental health. I believe in the power of an individual to make personal and global change. I love helping individuals gain greater insight into thought, feeling and behavior patterns that you feel are no longer serving your best interests.

Welcome to my practice! The world is changing in profound ways. I am here to help you navigate these new realities in your family, work and love relationships. My therapy style with both couples and individuals is warm, collaborative and nurturing. For couples, I will help guide you out of distress and back to loving connection, paying close attention to emotional intimacy, differences in sexual desire, chronic fighting, communication breakdowns and infidelity/betrayals. For individuals, I will help you find your way back from depression, anxiety, grief and relationship challenges. Let me help you grow and flourish.

Are you struggling right now? Are you feeling discouraged or hopeless? Whether its trauma, faith crisis, depression/anxiety, difficult relationships, or problems with pornography, there is hope and healing! I believe that all of these struggles are opportunities in disguise and that every person is given the very challenges that can lead to the highest growth. I love my work helping people find their unique path of healing. I use a person centered, attachment based, mindful approach to therapy with a specific focus on client strengths and positive psychology. My goal is to create a safe place of support and healing.

How often do you get curious about the difficulties you face? Have you ever sought support, understanding, or another perspective from someone you feel safe with or trust? The beauty of the therapeutic relationship is that it is a secure space to explore this curiosity about your feelings and whatever you are facing in life.

I love working with clients (especially children, adolescents, and families!) from diverse backgrounds who are looking to find answers and solve any issues they may be struggling with. I am passionate about my work and believe in radical acceptance of all people. I am an LGBTQ+ affirmative psychologist. As a mother of five children, I understand many of the issues that families face and I strive to be a caring, upfront, and empathic psychologist who helps clients work toward achieving their goals. I also offer psychological testing.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience working in various settings. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, couples, and complex family systems. I have extensive experience working with co-occurring disorders. I utilize concepts from DBT, MBB, ACT, MI, psychodrama, and experiential techniques to assist you in positive changes and life outcomes. I truly believe everyone can find happiness in their lives through vulnerability and connection. I strive to create a safe space where you can tell me anything without fear of shame or judgement. I am here to listen so you can feel seen and heard.

My practice is about creating and enhancing a meaningful life. Through a belief that our disturbances--about ourselves, others or life in general - lead us to the doorway of toward wholeness, we work together to unfold the seed of the solution from within the problems. Thus, I approach each client with a desire to follow and facilitate their unique healing process. Through deep compassion toward self, dreamwork and process work, I identify lesser conscious aspects of one's self, which we work together to bring into awareness. With this awareness one can find more meaning and a stronger purpose in life.

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

Specializing in attachment-based, client-centered, and cognitive-behavioral approaches, I guide clients through shifts in beliefs, purpose, and identity. My therapeutic approach includes attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Whether questioning faith, exploring sexual or gender identity, or re-evaluating relationships, I provide a judgment-free space to understand and process these changes.

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 have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2019, and I have experience supporting young adults and adults with concerns such as addictions, substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship/ family issues, and anger management. My ideal client would like to resolve these issues by empowering themselves to learn how to counter negative thoughts, regulate emotions, tolerate moments of distress, communicate effectively, and mindfully stay within the present moment. My ideal client would like to learn these skills in order to manifest their ideal life and be the best version of themselves.

I specialize in re-empowering women who are experiencing disconnection from the authentic self & strained mind & body connection. My work includes right-paced exploration of trauma, depression, anxiety, low self-worth, body loathing, body transitions, & life transitions. I am dedicated to supporting the exploration of health holistically: the mental, emotional, physical, & spiritual factors that impact identity & lived experience. My intentions are to support insight on when to 'sit with' and when to be in action & to offer a safe space where exploration of all aspects of self can be experienced.

Do you ever feel stuck in a body that doesn't feel, act or look the way you want it to? Does it feel like your brain and body are out of sync? Whether it be chronic pain, sexual difficulties or gender incongruence - I'm here to help you get your mind and body back into alignment. When working with me, I will tailor therapy to meet your unique needs, and offer the tools and support you need to feel less pain, more sexual freedom and gender affirmation.

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 specialize in trauma, domestic abuse and addiction. I also help clients that struggle with depression, anxiety, relational issues and interpersonal struggles. I use a comprehensive, integrative approach to healing (EMDR) as well as CBT, DBT and Mindful practices.EMDR is a systematic process of healing that promotes emotional stability by helping to free the mind from past thoughts, memories and behaviors that are present in daily life. The mindful approach to emotional healing works through conscious change in perspective. Being consciously aware of unconscious thoughts helps in the process of change. This mindful practice changes how you view yourself and the world around you.

I welcome individuals experiencing depression, anxiety and need a place to discuss their sexuality and gender identities who want to work from a strengths based perspective. Using compassion and mindfulness practice, and a feminist multi-cultural lens, I encourage people to work in a focused and positive way in order to find authenticity. In the past several years I have worked extensively with gay, lesbian and transgender people and am open, affirming and inclusive. In my experience, everyone has a creative spark that nourishes positivity and engagement.

I can help you feel understood especially when you feel like you struggle to understand yourself or you feel that no one else understands you. I can do this by compassionately listening to your life experiences and helping you feel validated and accepted. Having been through relational, religious, military and familial trauma I have a place in my heart for those of you who have struggled with this.
