Parenting Therapists in Holladay, UT

I can provide you with a variety tools to free yourself from unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. I use research-supported techniques within a warm, transparent, and active therapeutic relationship. Specifically, my approach integrates mindfulness-based and cognitive-behavioral therapies within a neurobiological framework for understanding and optimizing wellness. I work with each client to increase awareness, acceptance, and compassion. My therapeutic style is open, authentic, and self-disclosing.

I believe that each client is the real expert on their own life. I feel honored to facilitate and witness the hard work people do as they connect to themselves and deepen their capacity for true self-compassion, lasting growth, and create meaningful, fulfilling relationships in every phase of life. As Dr. Brené Brown reminds us, we are wired for connection! When we are disconnected from ourselves, it makes creating real connection with others difficult and unsustainable. I love supporting people as they learn to explore, identify, and courageously express their desires from a secure place which is grounded in their values.

Have you recently been diagnosed with cancer? Are you currently going through treatment or are you in cancer recovery? Do you feel like the trauma you experienced/are experiencing has not been addressed? Does the depression and anxiety feel like a quicksand trap? Let’s address the trauma that so often times is overlooked during your cancer journey. Beyond cancer and other chronic pain, . I am passionate about empowering women through relationship distress, co-parenting concerns, and menopause. As a Marriage and Family therapist I focus on attachment and emotional work to assist partnerships in addressing their concerns.

I have worked with clients in processing trauma, grief, and inter-relationship issues, such as emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, codependency, marriage/partner concerns, separation/divorce, parenting, sexual concerns, self-esteem, perfectionism, identity questions, and life transitions. I specialize in faith concerns, including religious trauma, faith crisis/transition, and shifts in faith or religious affiliation. I look forward to working with people on their faith journey, whether they wish to remain in their current faith or transition into a post-faith identity.

You're working long hours and still trying to maintain a sense of balance, or maybe getting pregnant is harder (and more isolating!) than you thought. Perhaps you're struggling as a new parent and finding yourself in frequent conflict with your partner. Or maybe you’re just feeling the weight of it all and not even sure who you are anymore. If this sounds like you, know that you’re not alone. Your needs are clear: you're ready to overcome obstacles, develop healthier coping skills, and build stronger, more meaningful relationships. Your goals to gain practical tools to navigate life's complexities are ambitious yet achievable.

Are you feeling angry? Maybe in the dumps with little motivation? Is your mind often scattered or confused? Paralyzed by worry? Do you often experience conflict in relationships which mean the most to you? Does it seem like regardless of the efforts you make, returns are minimal to none? I have built my practice helping others reconnect to their innate place of clarity and well-being, to then resume life guided by their self-power and wisdom, experiencing a true satisfaction and success.

My passion and specialty for the last 18 years is working with individuals and families with executive functioning challenges (ADD/ADHD, ASD), attachment development, and adoption related struggles.

Are you ready to embark on a path of self-discovery and empowerment? If so, you're in the right place. I'm here to guide and support you as you navigate life's challenges and unlock your true potential. My career as a therapist was inspired by my own struggles, and the transformation I experienced ignited my commitment to supporting others on their paths to healing and growth. I believe in the power of collaboration and the strength that comes from embracing vulnerability. If you're committed to personal growth and ready to work together, we can achieve incredible results.

If you are dissatisfied in your life or career, have difficulties parenting, or experience symptoms such as excessive worry, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, I invite you to contact me. Together we can identify strategies and build skills to give you the tools to live a more satisfying and productive life. The habits you developed and use unconsciously in your day to day life may not be serving you. Great news! You have the power to examine your tendency to repeat the same mental and behavioral responses that have led to your current difficulties. You can make positive changes in how you experience your life. Let's get started.

I believe people are understandable and once we reach understanding, solutions seem evident. If you have sought help before and just didn't feel you got to the bottom of the problems or if you are new to therapy and really want deeper solutions I can help you. Psychotherapy is the science and art of clinical work. We will collaborate: you being the authority of your life, and me the authority of psychology and human emotion.

Groups now available! Do you feel stuck? Are you having the same arguments over and over again, or setting goals that you don't achieve?

My clients tell me they appreciate my openness, non-judgmental stance, and sense of humor.

Have you ever wondered, "If people knew who I really am, would they still love me?" These and other (painful) questions and doubts can be the beginning of amazing journeys of self-discovery. Deep inner work can be both difficult and rewarding. I do my best to bring to therapy an attitude of deep respect for my clients and the challenges that life brings. I believe I can help make the journeys of self-discovery more rewarding and a bit less rocky -- whether the time we work together be brief or more lengthy.

If relationships are so great, why are they so hard?! We’re experiencing an epidemic of loneliness. Have you tried to change your relationships and are feeling discouraged by the lack of progress? The clients I work best with typically struggle with wanting more from their relationships, wondering why they aren’t finding what they are looking for, and then have fallen into a pattern of depression, anxiety, numbing, and maladaptive coping. They've been working incredibly hard, but want help working smarter. Our wounds change the way we show up, and if we don’t address our wounds we’ll keep getting the same results.

Do current events have you frazzled? Ever felt like you were in a relationship with someone who wasn't available?

Whether you are experiencing problems in a relationship, grief or bereavement, depression, anxiety, or a spiritual crisis, there is hope. I am trained in EMDR, CBT, ACT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, psychodynamic theory, and routinely learn from experts in the field. Perhaps most important though, is that I listen.

We all need support at times to care for our internal and external worlds, and to dive into the depths of our often layered lived experiences. To care for ourselves in this way, we may need to pull up the weeds of adversities or traumas at a pace that feels right. I hope to offer a warm and compassionate atmosphere for you as you gently tend to the past while remaining rooted in the present. Through attention and intention in therapy, I believe that flowers of wisdom, curiosity, self-compassion, resilience, and hope can grow.
