Therapists in American Fork, UT

Life's challenges can sometimes leave us wondering‌ ‌“what‌ ‌is‌ ‌wrong‌ ‌with‌ me?“ I believe a better question is‌, ‌“what‌ ‌happened‌ ‌to‌ ‌me?” ‌ ‌Everyone‌ ‌has‌ ‌a‌ ‌story‌ ‌that‌ ‌makes‌ ‌them‌ ‌unique. ‌My interest is in understanding what the story is and helping my clients navigate how to use a‌ ‌story‌ ‌as‌ ‌a‌ ‌strength‌ ‌rather‌ ‌than‌ ‌a‌ ‌fault. ‌I work with children (3+), adolescents, adults, and couples and families to help them navigate the hard parts of life so they can live happy, fulfilling, and connected lives.
