Teletherapy for Provo, UT

Each person’s story has successes and struggles, and I believe every individual has what it takes to find healing and growth. As an Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed therapist, my efforts focus on accessing that healing and growth by exploring underlying beliefs, wounds, and fears that get in the way of you feeling connected with yourself and the important people in your life.

Are you or a loved one dealing with a difficult situations in your life? Is your marriage struggling, do you struggle with "Nice Guy" issues. Does your child struggling with anxiety, depression? Addictions to pornography, drugs and alcohol, or just feeling overwhelmed by life? Call today for an appointment. With a little help and guidance, you can make the changes in your life that have been causing so much pain. I am a License Clinical Mental Health Counselor with over 15 years of experience. With a little help and guidance I'm confident you can be back on the path to connection, health and happiness.

There is a pathway forward through the distress of disconnection, grief and loss, faith transitions, and anxiety. Transforming painful feelings and meeting unmet needs occurs through creating connections and emotional processing. Therapy is tailored to your specific goals and needs: deepening relational connection, working through anxiety, overcoming addictions, processing grief/loss, faith transitions, emotional challenges, or engaging in family therapy. Creating a validating and respectful therapeutic experience is central to inviting growth and change.

You are worth it. I can help you find healing, peace and happiness. I work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, identity struggles, betrayal trauma, pornography addiction, marriage issues, spiritual identity, faith crisis, mixed faith marriages, and problematic patterns that prevent you from being happy. I work particularly well with teens and their parents–and have experience working in adolescent residential treatment. I also work well with issues relating to adoption and attachment.

Your story is integral to our therapeutic process and will help me understand exactly how I can help you achieve the growth and change that you come to counseling in search of. My clients find a safe space where they can address difficult things as they face life obstacles. It is a brave step to attend counseling and I value the commitment that my clients make by making that first phone call. My goal is to guide you as you work toward your goals and create positive experiences. I specialize in working with infidelity, pornography use and partner trauma, life transitions, relationship improvement, depression and anxiety.

I am accepting new clients! I recognize the importance of connection, safety and trust within the therapeutic relationship. Brene Brown wrote, "Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light". Shame diminishes that light within us and tells us we are not worthy. We feel broken. It is in this brokenness that we can find strength, just as the Japanese art of Kintsugi does. We can find ways to work through depression, grief, and anxiety with courage and start to find what matters to you and work toward it together. I can help you find hope and meaning in your life again.

I absolutely love what I do as a therapist. I am collaborative, working with your strengths and helping you access your own skills and resources to overcome your challenges. I believe in empowering you to take action and I love to create a safe environment to explore difficult emotions, beliefs, and behaviors. I believe in you. I am a person-centered therapist. I feel strongly about the inherent capacity of humans to heal and grow.

I can help you find what you're looking for. We know that no two people are exactly alike. I believe you need a customized therapy approach that works just for you. I can use your unique personality, goals, and beliefs to help you become your best self. I will treat you with compassion and help you use your strengths to achieve your goals. The truth is that sometimes good people get stuck in patterns they just can't fix on their own. I'll help you find a fresh perspective and find new ways to solve old problems.

Hey there! Glad you are here. Searching for a therapist can feel like an overwhelming process, and I'd love to help make it easier. I work best with issues related to trauma, some including anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, abuse, self worth, etc. You may be telling yourself that you aren't good enough, capable, or loveable because of your life experiences. I admire the courage and vulnerability it takes to make the first steps towards healing amidst those heavy narratives, feelings, and experiences. I am here to walk that path with you, help you accomplish your goals, and find whatever healing looks like for you.

I’ve helped many people in my career who have struggled with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationship difficulties because of trauma, abuse, loss, or other high-stress experiences from their past. It’s not just the events we’ve experienced, but rather the result of how those events continue to affect us. I help patients retain learning and wisdom from their past but lose the pain. Everyone who steps into my office will be valued, heard, and respected no matter how difficult the issues may be to talk about. I respect and treat each person as I would want my own family member treated.

Counseling has always been that one unique ability of mine that I felt was a higher calling. The encouragement I get from watching clients meet major milestones continues to increase my passion as a therapist. I am a firm believer that there is no shame in asking for help. Regardless of how major or minor your struggle may be, having someone to talk to makes a massive difference. As a therapist, I strive to provide a nonjudgmental environment that allows clients to feel safe and secure. I work with anxiety, depression, loss, and trauma, in addition to youth, couples, LGBTQ+, and individuals.

My ideal client is willing to talk about and feel their feelings and the way they affect their lives. Not all of my clients can talk about their feelings quite yet, or even identify them. That’s okay. Some are absolutely terrified to acknowledge or address feelings, and that’s okay too. It’s only when clients are unwilling that I personally run into a wall with my work.

There is no shortage of problems or stress in today’s world. You deserve to be able to work through yours with someone by your side. I’m a firm believer that therapy needs to be tailored for individual experiences. I always strive to provide my clients with the best possible approach in a welcoming, relaxed environment where you can truly be yourself. I’ve found that humor can be a powerful tool within the healing process when used appropriately. Working on yourself is never easy, but you should be able to enjoy the smile-worthy moments.

By the end of each appointment with me, I want you to feel like you’ve been heard and that you’ve gained something valuable, whether that’s new coping skills or an improved sense of peace or strength. Your trauma is stored in your nervous system, so I utilize therapies like EMDR to work to relieve you of your burden. My training is in grief and trauma-related symptoms like anxiety, depression, PTSD, self-harm, and suicidality. I provide trauma-focused therapy to support you as we work together to reach your goals.

My goal is to enable my clients to better navigate the world around them and live more authentic and fulfilling lives. My treatment approaches is based in research on what produces the best outcomes in therapy, and our job in your therapy sessions is to help tailor that approach to your specific needs. I believe that the connection and trust you feel with me in therapy is the strongest predictor of how much you will benefit from our meetings. I will walk your path alongside you and help you work toward greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, resilience, and personal growth.
