Therapists in Gunnison, UT

Most people would rather hide from change than embrace it. When we do, unseen opportunities aren’t realized. We encourage our clients to focus on positive change- more on strengths than on weaknesses, the solution instead of the problem.

I specialize in working with children and their families, ranging from children with behavioral problems, anxiety, parent-child conflict, and other mental health concerns to those who have experienced trauma (abuse, neglect, divorce, betrayal, etc). I help couples work on their own relationship to improve the family environment and functioning of children.

I consider the therapy process a courageous and hallowed experience. It is not easy to share pain, life struggles, and vulnerability with another person. I try to make that process as safe as possible while also facilitating a brave space where one can courageously face difficulties in healing ways. The framework of my practice is honoring and developing compassion for all diverse lived experiences. Every person has a diverse heritage, background, and identity and I strive to work within that context to aid people in their healing process.

I cannot promise you that your trauma will magically be lifted off your shoulders after our first meeting… But what I can promise you, is that you have a strength within you that you are not seeing right now.

Religious trauma. Spiritual abuse. Religious deconstruction. Recovery from purity culture. I have specialized in women with complex trauma for the last eight years, and in the last few years have added a religious trauma certification (from GCRR) to my list of specialties. Like other forms of trauma, religious trauma often manifests as anxiety, depression, and troubled relationships. I mostly work with women, but I am an ally to the LGBTQ community as well. My goal for my clients is to help them untangle the web of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that keep them feeling stuck.

I love meeting with people of all genders, beliefs and personalities! I specialize in treating adults with traumatic origins within organizations, families and relationships.

I have an affinity for working with individuals who are longing for change, meaningful connection, and internal safety. Many have gone through life feeling unseen, at the mercy of, or in the shadows of others making it difficult to establish boundaries, self-compassion, and authentic connection. If you can relate and are having a difficult time with anxiety, depression, complex trauma/developmental trauma, ADHD, Adult Autism Spectrum, religious/spiritual wounding, sexuality, and/or other situations that have left you feeling disconnected from the life you want to live, you are not alone, it can be different.

I have learned through my experience that life is full of obstacles. For most of us, admitting that we might need support can be difficult and frightening, but I truly believe that talking about what is going on in our lives, learning to own our own story, and digging down deep and unearthing our fears is the most courageous thing that we can do. I offer a safe, non-judgmental environment with someone who will listen and honor your experience and who believes in your ability to choose your own life path.
