Do you want more out of life but something is holding you back? The connection may be subtle, but the things that happened to you a long time ago may continue to effect you today. Have you lost your passion? Are you tense all the time, always on edge, maybe you struggle to get through the day because your anxiety is so bad. Replaying the same painful moments over and over again; it is interfering with your day to day life; it’s exhausting. Your friends and family may not understand what you are going through but I do. Maybe you know the direction you need to go but don’t know how to remove the hidden barriers. I can teach you how.

As we go through life we face challenges, from these challenges we may experience pain and suffering. As this pain becomes stored within us it creates burdens that may sometimes be too heavy to bear. As a result many may turn to temporary solutions. As I work with clients to explore and resolve pain and trauma more permanent solutions are often discovered and the burden of pain is reduced.

During times of struggle or change having someone to help you through is invaluable. An outside perspective can be beneficial in navigating through and overcoming challenges. As a team, we can get through those tough times. You are an individual and as such my approach varies with what works best for you. Empathy and compassion are key components of client care. My skills have a wide range of applicability and I am passionate about my work. Whether it is skill building, understanding oneself, trauma, human sexuality, or another mental health need; I can help. We all need a little help sometimes; all you need to do is ask.

I believe that each person has a desire to be better and can draw on their innate strength to overcome the challenges that life presents them. My goal is to provide you a safe space where you can share your deepest struggles and issues but know that YOU are seen and accepted. I currently work with couples using EFT therapy, young single adults, teens, individuals and families in crisis, and I specialize in working with those of the LDS faith struggling with many issues ranging from pornography to LGBTQ+ support, to missionary support. I combine my extensive training with my life experiences to help you address all your concenrs.

For awhile now you have felt like something is “off,” that something in your life you used to count on is missing. It’s terrifying to feel like the sense of who you are is now fundamentally different or even gone. Maybe there was a distinct moment or maybe it was more gradual, but you are now in a place that feels unfamiliar. Whatever your journey has been to get to this moment you’ve decided it’s not something you can continue ignoring. You want nothing more than to reclaim a sense of identity and purpose; a sense of control, to transition through your—health, faith, identity, relationship, and/or work transition—on your own terms.

I work with individual adults and couples from all economic, racial, sexual orientation and cultural sectors. I specialize in working with clients who have diverse backgrounds and relationship dynamics. It’s important to me that you feel safe, validated and supported in therapy. My goal is to help you realize your full potential and work through whatever it is that’s blocking you from achieving it. I use an action-oriented approach to therapy that uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies together with commitment and behavioral strategies to create life flexibility and long lasting changes.

It can feel very isolating to look in the mirror and not recognize the face staring back at you. Sometimes, you can feel so lost that you forget where your journey first began. Or perhaps, you never had the time to figure out the direction you wanted to go. Stress, loneliness, sadness, and pain have become your companions, and while you can feel your feet on the ground, more often than not, you find your heart and mind drifting elsewhere. Whether you are in the midst of a painful experience or have been fighting to survive for years, there is more to your life than hardship. There is hope. There is healing. And there is purpose.

Trauma may be a part of your story but it does not have to define you or leave you feeling anything less than a strong survivor. My passion in life is to help each individual to feel empowered, strong, worthy & successful. Each of us are impacted by life changes, emotional disruptions, traumatic events etc. My love is to step into your world, observe it how you see it & help you navigate it.

You might be feeling lonely, afraid, lost, confused, unhappy, sad, or abandoned; maybe even a combination. A belief about “not being good enough” or “that it was your fault” has controlled your life for way too long. Your struggle to make your own suffering and most hurtful beliefs disappear has left you feeling hopeless, guilty, and lost about the direction of your life. Some of your pain might be coming from being asked to grow up too fast or being asked to do things that were unfair or unrealistic; which leads you to lose your voice or direction in your own life. You may have been put in unbearable situations,

Hello! Perhaps you are a long-time member of the "going to therapy" community, or maybe this is the first time you've considered reaching out for support. Regardless, you are welcome here. Life can truly be tumultuous at times, especially when trying to navigate the unknown. Maybe you haven't felt like yourself in months, or you're experiencing a rift in an intimate relationship. Perhaps you feel like you just can't do it all by yourself anymore, or you are exhausted from this worldwide pandemic. You are not alone. Having a therapist to support, listen, affirm, encourage, and maybe even challenge you can be incredibly healing.

“When we deny our stories, they define us.  When we own our stories, we get to write a brave new ending.”  Brene Brown. This statement resinates in how I work with clients.  Owning your story allows you to stand in your own truth; owning your truths provides you power over them rather than allowing your pain, struggles and misconceptions power over you. Working together in a safe environment we identify and hone your strengths, as you shape your life into the story you envision and deserve, and you find peace in the midst of chaos. 

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.

Reconnecting to ourselves and our support structures in an ever changing environment can be challenging. We are surrounded by expectations and demands that at times feel overwhelming and out of reach. I work with clients on reestablishing these connections and instilling mental health empowerment. We are all capable of growth and deserving of the opportunity to reset and reconnect.

Hi! I'm Aleshia. I want to assist you in building a well-balanced life.

Sometimes life presents us with overwhelming, painful challenges. If you are experiencing unwanted symptoms such as anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or are coping with painful loss through death, divorce, illness/injury or life transitions; I will help you move through these difficult, painful challenges. If you want to improve upon an already successful life, we will work to improve it. I provide a warm and safe, non-judgmental environment. Through the process you will develop inner strength and resiliency; you will learn to take a pro-active stance in choosing and creating the life you desire.

My passion and specialty is working with children, adolescents and families with executive functioning disorders, attachment disorders, and adoption issues. Families who are seeking a strong behavioral approach will find practical and effective techniques to work on within the family, the couple, and for the child. My motto is if I can't track the efficacy of our work together, then I'm wasting all of our time. That being said, I will meet you and your family with an incredible amount of compassion and love.
