Codependency Therapists in Provo, UT

Every person has value and experiences challenges as part of living. I enjoy working with individuals helping with change and growth in their lives. I am excited to work with people in understanding challenges they face, helping them to work through these challenges in a more productive manner, and using the knowledge and tools I have to benefit their needs. I enjoy using the Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and Play Therapy; as well as Mindfulness techniques. Creating a safe place of trust is priority, a place where the client can open up and address their most sensitive and difficult challenges.

I believe that the body, mind & soul are intertwined. As a counselor & coach my purpose & goal is to inspire & empower you, teaching you the tools you need to interpret & respond to situations differently. I offer you the opportunity to learn different & new ways of understanding yourself & reasons for your feelings & thoughts. I will help you to see the situations you face as opportunities to grow & evolve. I will work closely & intently with you to encourage & offer focus & clarification on what steps to take to experience more peace, calm & good in life, improving you.

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 manged 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.

I have been working in the Mental Health field for over 20 years in a variety of settings. I have had several years experience working with teenagers in Residential Treatment Center's, and have worked with clients of all ages in day treatment, outpatient clinics, and private practice. I use an individualized therapeutic approach to help people work through their struggles, stress, and other issues that have caused problems in their day to day life. I specialize in working with teenagers, college-aged, and adults.

DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, & TRAUMATIC LIFE EXPERIENCES? Have you or a loved one ever experienced symptoms of depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress -- i.e. sadness, loss of pleasure in things you used to enjoy, hard time concentrating, irritable, racing thoughts, tension in your body, isolating yourself from others, or reliving traumatic memories? Are you looking for proven help that works? Clients that see me complete a pre and post test inventory so we can objectively track their improvements and they consistently report enjoying greater happiness, peace, & rest after our work together.

You are worthy and strong. Whether it’s your relationships, your mental health, or some other aspect of your life, I will work with you to find the missing piece and create solutions for what isn’t working. I work with people who struggle with depression and anxiety, helping you overcome trauma from your past and courageously confront your fears. I love working with couples and struggling marriages. I can help you break unhealthy patterns and reclaim the love and connection you once had. I specialize in treating trauma (including betrayal trauma), compulsive sexual behaviors and sexual addiction, PTSD, and perfectionism.

COME AS YOU ARE AND I'LL MEET YOU WHERE YOU'RE AT!

If you are struggling with stress, sadness, grief, worry, sleep, relationships, problems communicating, abuse, or a lack of meaning and purpose, I'm a compassionate and caring therapist who can help you. I'm available am & pm hrs to help during this national crisis and doing remote sessions via video. Do you need help learning a few things about how to get through this stressful time? Are your moods, emotions, and relationships feeling stressed or out of balance? I have worked successfully with hundreds of clients who lacked balance and hope, and I've helped them to break out of unhealthy thinking patterns, quickly and effectively.

A good therapist-client fit is essential to getting the help you need. I have a great deal of life experience and cultural awareness from growing up in a risky area of Los Angeles, serving in the U.S. Army (9 yrs), experiencing combat and loss, living through natural disasters, working with and supporting military veterans, working as a therapist with Juveniles for the State of Utah, and overcoming many of life's personal obstacles. I have a passion for working with people. I believe connecting with you is essential to treatment success. As your therapist, I promise to be there for you every step of the way.

I can help you work towards the real issue right away and help you start feeling better from the first session. First thing I want to say is that I am so sorry your heart is feeling a consistent pain...This pain is very important to me and I am here for you. We can make it. A broken heart is the root of most individual and relationship problems. The brains job is to reduce pain and numb the heart. I believe that you can learn all the coping skills in the world, however, if your heart is broken, those skills usually will not work. Once the heart feels soothed and understood then the mind may accept new solutions and skills.

In my mind, the ideal client is that person who has identified that some aspect of their life has stopped working for them. I enjoy helping with a variety of clientele, couples, and individuals. People who seek out a counselor to validate the fact that change is necessary, and desire professional help to collaborate in identifying their own natural strengths (or at least potential capabilities) towards overcoming difficulties seem to be very goal oriented. These people are exciting to work with. My hope is that my warm and inviting office atmosphere and my own upbeat attitude can motivate mental healing .

One of the most difficult experiences we have in our lives is recognizing we need help. Even the strongest and most healthy need a trusted mentor, healer, and guide in their life at some point, within a place where it is safe to bare their soul and share their innermost thoughts and fears. Our personal lives and experiences shouldn't be trusted to just anyone. It is difficult to find a qualified therapist who is skilled in their work, while equally connected to their clients in an empathetic way.

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness! It is showing inner strength and truly knowing yourself!

Life right now can feel scary. Changes occur everyday creating an increase of uncertainty, causing significant anxiety with the ambiguous nature of the future. In just a short period of time, your roles & responsibilities have shifted & you’re feeling overwhelmed & exhausted. Many of your usual stress outlets are now off-limits, people that depend on you are looking for answers & sense of security, neither of which you can give them. You may have started to feel isolated & lonely during social distancing restrictions, & the things you've been struggling with have been amplified.

My personal philosophy on trauma informed psychotherapy is based on western & eastern influences & focuses on a three phase model developed by Dr. Judith Herman-stabilization, reprocessing, & re-connection. In therapy with individuals, I work together to honor your unique life history & explore the impact it has on your functioning. In my work I have discovered that amazingly, the natural healing capacity of the human brain runs so deep that even the parts of our lives that are causing us difficulty can guide us toward healing.

I am a Marriage and Family therapist. I have counseled with families, couples and individuals about a wide variety of problems involving interpersonal and life issues such as addiction, gender identity, depression, sexual abuse or family conflict. Because I focus on solution building I believe it is most helpful and therapeutic when my clients focus on their desired future and how together we can make that possible.
