I specialize in working with couples across the relationship journey, from preparing for marriage or a new baby to improving communication, rebuilding trust after betrayal, deepening intimacy, or navigating separation with care. My heart is for couples who do not want to simply coexist, but want to feel known, loved, understood, and emotionally safe with one another. I help partners slow down the cycle, understand what is happening beneath the conflict, strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and find a clearer path back to connection.

I understand that exploring unfamiliar or uncomfortable parts of ourselves can feel daunting. During our sessions, I provide a supportive and nonjudgemental space where clients can safely examine patterns, behaviors, and experiences that may no longer be serving them. Together, this awareness becomes the foundation for developing new perspectives, healthier coping strategies, and lasting growth.

You may be someone that others rely on–capable, driven, and used to handling a lot. Internally, things can feel more complicated. It might be hard to fully relax, your mind is constantly busy, and it’s difficult to unwind. The stress starts to show up in your relationships, causing you to feel more distant, less patient, and not as present as you would like to be. I’m Peter, a licensed therapist in Utah, Idaho and North Carolina. I specialize in working with professionals who are navigating burnout, ongoing stress, and the subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) ways it impacts their relationships and well-being.

Most people with anxiety or depression don’t realize how their negative self-talk keeps them down and actually deepens their anxiety or depression. After working with me, my clients identify and reverse the effects of their negative self-talk, start feeling energized and motivated to do the things they used to enjoy, and are able to experience the simple joys of being alive again.

Hi there! I'm Jared and I recognize that managing life with or without mental health issues is hard enough & too many people feel alone in their struggles. My biggest focus is helping you not feel alone. The clients that need a warm therapist, want a deeper understanding of their problems, and want to actively change will find me a good fit. As a systemic therapist, I try to understand all the aspects of your life and how they impact your situation including how your unique identity (race, gender, culture, etc.) shapes your life. Originally from Idaho, I love the outdoors & potatoes almost as much as helping my clients.

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work together effectively, but, especially for those whose concerns relate to their religion or cultural background, a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond, even if they do not have an extensive history with or understanding of their client’s background before therapy begins.

Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Church of Christ/Latter Day Saints values?
Each individual brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of therapeutic modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition such as LDS that strongly influences the conduct of everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process.

Why might someone feel comfortable with an LDS-attuned therapist?
While qualifications and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic effectiveness. It is wise to find a therapist who is responsive to your questions and concerns and with whom you feel you can establish a rapport. A therapist who is sensitive to LDS values and beliefs and the role they play in the lives of Church members can offer Mormon clients a welcome sense of safety, assurance that their community and culture will be understood, and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, all of which support the therapeutic process.

How do I recognize a good LDS therapist?
LDS therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Mormon principles and values. They have an understanding of the culture and the important role the Church plays in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of emotional difficulties those raised in the faith can be prone to. Like all effective therapists, a good LDS therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of everyday life.

Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Mormon/LDS therapists?
The directory of LDS therapists includes therapists who have shared their cultural background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information; these individuals would not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with LDS clients and/or communities, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
