Grief Therapists in 84401

I am working on my master’s degree in clinical Mental Health Counseling and am due to graduate in May 2024. I continue to pursue my passion of helping others and am honing my skills with a focus on trauma, grief, anxiety, and depression.

I think we all want to find that balance in life; that wholeness and harmony we seek. One of the best ways we can give that to ourselves is through therapy. As a therapist, I get to help people heal from their past, find meaning in their present situations, and develop hope for their future. It’s a wonderful process to be a part of.

I work from a trauma-informed and client-centered approach, recognizing that everyone has a story contributing to who they are today and the decisions they make. I am skilled in the following: CBT, ACT, Trust-Based Relational Intervention, and Mindfulness.

Hey, lovely humans! Do you find yourself nodding "yes" to any of these? Do you constantly face the challenge of drawing the line, pleasing everyone, and feeling extra guilty for every little thing?

If you are a human struggling with intrusive thoughts, anxiety, OCD, mood disorders, or depression I am here to help! I love working with women in all stages of life.

I have always believed in the power of human connection and as a counselor I offer a warm and genuine environment to my clients as they work through their challenges, begin to understand themselves better and to become more resilient. I also believe that a person’s thoughts affect their emotions, that past experiences impact present situations and the importance of living in the here and now. I enjoy working alongside my clients as they heal, grow and change. I work primarily from a person-centered approach and pull from a variety of counseling theories to personalize the therapy experience to the individual needs of each client.

You've been pushing along for so long, just trying to get by. Struggling with managing your emotions, you find yourself withdrawing, having less patience for those you are closest to. Perhaps being intimate and close with your partner feels impossible, or is painful and unfulfilling. You've noticed yourself questioning if those difficult experiences you thought you had dealt with are actually impacting you. What you are feeling is valid and deserves a space to be heard and healed. Each person's path to wholeness is unique. Let's help you heal, feel more connected, and find the peace you deserve.

My therapeutic philosophy is an integrative and holistic approach. I tailor the therapeutic approach to the individual and uniqueness of each of my clients.

Individual, Couple, Family, & Child Therapy. Effective therapy starts with effective assessment. The greater my understanding of the family challenges/presenting problem the more likely I will be able to help the family/couple/individual find greater success and happiness.

Short term, effective, enjoyable therapy services is my goal as a therapist. Most clients report after a first appointment that they feel at ease with my gentle, kind, and supportive approach.
