Therapists in Box Elder County, UT

I'm an experienced child and family therapist ready to assist you in dealing with life challenges that come your way. As a parent and professional, I understand the many struggles attached to this journey through life. I also work with adults in helping to discover a place of healing and happiness. I love connecting with others and creating a safe and trusting environment to feel heard or understood. I'm humbled when individuals, both children and adults, open their hearts and allow me to support them along their treatment path.

Are you exhausted from battling the complex effects from trauma, which are preventing you from living life to the fullest? I encounter individuals seeking support as they heal from trauma, rebuild their sense of self-worth, and reclaim their power. I strive to provide a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered and safe to explore past and present conflicts. As we work together, painful emotions can be released and coping skills developed to help you live the life you want and deserve.

I believe that each person has the potential to live the life they truly want and that lasting change is possible. As a strengths-based therapist, I help a client find their strengths are built on and utilized in therapy to help the client work through the difficulties they are experiencing. I create a space where you can tell me anything without fear of judgment or me telling you how you should live life. Therapy is an interactive process and it shouldn’t look the same for each person. I love helping people build their confidence and becoming more assertive. I want to help you build the skills to live your life to the fullest!

In life, difficult situations occur. These experiences can make us anxious, question ourselves and our self-worth, and affect our ability to connect with others and plan for the future we desire. Through EMDR, ART, and a mix of other empirically based modalities, it is possible to heal from past trauma, feel more empowered, and increase life satisfaction generally. I have been in the field for twenty years and a therapist for thirteen. I have also been an administrator, supervisor, and trainer for therapists. During that time, I have come to appreciate how change is possible in our lives and in our relationships with others.

I believe that we could heal the world if we would only first seek to heal ourselves. Some of the most life changing moments come when we decide to sit with our discomfort and ride that wave to healing. Though the pain and anguish can make these moments feel unconquerable, taking the steps toward your own healing allows these obstacles to become a period of transformation, growth, or liberation. Together we can explore your journey and the answers that you hold within.

My passion lies in providing support for those grappling with depressive and anxiety disorders, diverse forms of grief, and various personality challenges. Additionally, I specialize in aiding survivors of domestic violence, especially those who have endured physical, sexual, and emotional trauma. My experience also extends to assisting individuals dealing with developmental and complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, often compounded by substance and behavioral addictions. Moreover, I have had the honor of working closely with military families across different contexts.

I specialize in working with teenagers and adults who are experiencing various mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, grief, trauma and PTSD, and life and faith transitions. My approach is to create a collaborative, trusting therapeutic environment where individuals feel safe and comfortable discussing their experiences, thoughts, and feelings.

As a therapist, I am constantly in awe at the bravery and courage it takes to come to a session and face the painful parts of yourself and your past. I have sat in your seat and know how difficult yet rewarding that hour can be. My approach is supportive, collaborative, and client-led. I am easy-going, non-judgmental, and here to be your ally on your therapy journey. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and am primarily available to see clients in person. By employing the principles of vulnerability and earned trust, amazing things can happen in the therapy room.
