Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

Throughout my experience as a psychotherapist I continue to see that mindful attention to our inner life yields healing and the ability to free ourselves from suffering. I'm committed to working with each individual's past and present experiences in order to understand the unique way each client interacts with themselves and the world around them. It is through this process of understanding and discovery, that we uncover options for enhancing and building a meaningful life.

I work with young adults, families, and couples helping them to shed light on themselves and the systems of which they are a part. I have worked predominately with clients experiencing symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety, bipolar, addictive disorders, and personality disorders. I have a background in wilderness therapy and experiential treatment and love to introduce creative, alternative modes of expression to my clients, including yoga movement, narrative, and outdoor based therapies (walk and talk). By the end of our first session, most of my clients feel relieved and hopeful for their next steps.

My office will be a space where you can feel comfortable and safe. Therapy requires vulnerability and sitting with discomfort. With me, you'll receive a lot of compassion and support. My expertise in processing trauma, as well as the coping skills I can teach you, will benefit your life in a positive way, if you choose to implement them. Do you ever have “big” reactions to things that don’t necessarily fit the situation? Does it get in the way of feeling confident in yourself or your relationships? That is an exhausting experience.

Are you struggling to connect with your true self? Do the beliefs you have about yourself affect your relationships? It can be challenging to embrace your core identity, and unpack the beliefs we hold about ourselves. Together we can learn to identify the ways in which you have protected yourself through relational patterns and coping mechanisms and create space to find who you really are outside of a history that may have left you feeling wounded, or not enough. As your therapist, I strive to create a relationship that provides the security needed to navigate these challenges, enabling you to find safety within yourself and others.

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.

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

Loss is hard. Change is hard. Relationships are hard. I offer a warm, safe, collaborative space to assist you on needs and goals, improve relationships, heal abuse and trauma, and go from surviving to thriving. Even though healing is hard it can also be an exciting, playful, and soul expanding journey! I am trauma trained and informed (ART, EMDR, Flash method, IFS) and approach therapy from an integrative and experiential standpoint. “If we climb high enough, we will reach a height from which tragedy ceases to look tragic.” (Yalom).

The journey to truly understanding ourselves can be a difficult and daunting task to navigate alone. In one moment, we may feel like the wind is in our sails, and without warning we may get caught up and trapped in the same familiar storms of shame, trauma, and pain. This can feel isolating and lonely, but you don’t have to be alone in life’s storms. As a therapist my aim is to help you reach self-acceptance, inner tranquility, and personal understanding to better endure and overcome any poor weather that life sends your way.

Have you been through mental health counseling for some time and are trying to figure our why things are not clicking yet? Do you feel like it is hard to talk about your life and trauma because of the reaction others may make? People come to focus on many different issues in their life that may be hard to understand or make work for you. Clients may need more time or financial support and Amethyst Center for Healing can provide a wonderful environment during your mental health journey.

I offer services via telehealth, and have found success with my clients in utilizing EMDR and an IFS approach to work through traumas. I also work with “late-in-life” diagnoses of Autism. As an individual who masked her autistic traits until age 30, I have a passion for helping people understand themselves and how their brain works, and accepting the whole self.

I believe healing is all about connection and integration. As a teen or adult, traumatic events, hard emotions, or living as a marginalized person in our societal structures can tend to leave us feeling defeated, isolated, and/or hopeless. Or, sometimes we just feel stuck in life. With a client-led approach, we can use a variety of interventions that you feel would help the most, including EMDR, DBT, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and spirituality development.

At Mind + Full Therapy our focus is to help people get to the root of their issues, not just managing symptoms. We take modern therapeutic approaches based in neuroscience and want to help people looking for alternatives to old, outdated, traditional talk therapy in order to create long-lasting changes. We works with adults and couples who are struggling with trauma or feeling stuck in life, have anxiety, depression, shame, relationship problems, and many other issues.

I understand that change is achieved through the creation of a safe, trusting relationship, making space to have your story heard, your strengths recognized, and your emotions witnessed. Creating that type of space requires lots of realness and a little time.

I work with individuals who have experienced trauma, are struggling with anxiety and depression, or are just feeling overwhelmed with the emotions and stress of the human experience. Using effective modalities, such as EMDR and IFS, together we uncover the root cause of distress and work to resolve issues. My clients learn the neuroscience of how the mind, heart and body are interdependent parts of our complex physiology, and use that knowledge to develop practical, tangible tools that create lasting changes. I aim to empower clients to take charge of their wellness so that therapy is not an endless endeavor.

If you are struggling with feeling connected to yourself, if you are afraid of your emotions or you are feeling "numb", and/or if you "don't know what to do" I believe that I can help. I work from a feminist/multicultural perspective because I have found that helping someone find the balance between choice and surrender lends itself to a more empowered and fulfilling life. I have extensive training and experience working with survivors of sexual assault and I believe when we can find our own sense of power, life overall becomes more satisfying.

It's okay to not feel like yourself. It's okay to not know what the next step is in your healing journey. What you are feeling is real and it is possible to feel better! I work with adults, specializing in trauma, sex therapy, postpartum experiences and life transitions. I am passionate about LGBTQIA+ individuals receiving queer-affirming therapy that empowers and facilitates self compassion and acceptance.

The privilege of a lifetime is to become - Carl Jung. ..... Becoming who you truly are can be near impossible when you're struggling just to focus and get through the day. Therapy is very much a process of developing a relationship with someone you can truly trust who takes the time to really get to know you and what you’re going through. Treatment depends on the cause, which could be related to trauma, temperament, biology, and relationships to name a few. We will work together to identify what’s causing your distress and develop a plan to fit your individual needs.
