Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Bountiful, UT

I am an Associate Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I work with older children, teens, and adults of all ages. My therapy focus is to help individuals who are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma understand how to cope with these symptoms. My goal is to help individuals develop achievable goals, learn communication skills, anger management techniques, and coping skills to best handle negative symptoms. Together we can navigate these symptoms and move forward towards a better life for themselves and the lives of those they care about.

If you, like many other people, are struggling with anxiety, depression, anger management or LGBTQ-IA related issues, you have found someone who can help! If you are struggling with long held trauma, and a negative core belief system, we will work together to process the trauma and allow you to live your healthiest life.

​Desperately wrestling the couch cushions into a configuration that won’t kill your back, you finally break down into helpless tears. Your marriage is in tatters and you’re hanging on by a thread. Between your children and your careers, you’ve had nothing left for each other. It feels like you’ve forgotten how to enjoy one another’s company. You feel like a stranger in your own home. It’s either constant bickering or frigid silence. Getting older, you realize you don’t have the energy for either – and this couch brutalizing your spine. You’d do anything to get your best friend back. You need help before this distance grows too great

Hello and thanks for stopping by. As a mental health counselor, I am grateful for and passionate about the opportunity I have to help others through difficult times. My specialized training and vast experiences have allowed me to help people and their families learn to make the most of difficult situations, specifically with an ADHD diagnosis, going through hard life transitions, and dealing with depression and anxiety.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages who have, or are going through challenging life experiences, and/or are looking to manage their ongoing challenges with mental health.

I love helping, and seeing my clients reach their goals.

I have extensive experience working with children, families, and adults who have a history of trauma. Many people have self-limiting beliefs and find conflict with themselves and others. I find meaning in my work by making sure all people feel valued and worthy independent of their life circumstances. I utilize a strengths-based approach that empowers the people I work with the see their own internal resources and follow their intuition. It stay critically conscious of people’s unique needs and diverse backgrounds. My approach includes perspective of curiosity and open-mindedness.

I work to help people get unstuck from the difficulties of life. Clients may be struggling due to addiction, past trauma, negative thoughts, negative self-beliefs, low confidence, low self-esteem, anxiety, nervousness, fear, depression, lack of hope, or any combination of these. I am also experienced in working with couples who are in conflict. I love to help people heal and am passionate about positive mental health. I know it is hard to make the decision to reach out for help that first time. I've been there; but it could be such an important step for your future. If I can't help I'll work with you to find someone who can.

I recognize that life is a challenge. I bring to therapy life experience and kindness. I have worked with a wide variety of clients and I am particularly passionate about those experiencing anxiety, depression, and loss. Therapy is a courageous step and I love to see the growth as clients take this journey. The gift of listening and caring is the key to good therapy and healing.

Tired of scrolling through these profiles, wondering who will even be helpful?! I get it, when I scroll on here, I wonder that too! So, let me get to it: I specialize in helping people during moments of existential crisis, sometimes called a life-transition. What does that really mean? If you’re feeling stuck, worried, sad, lonely, unmotivated, hopeless, if you’re working on identity challenges, had a loss of faith, going through relationship struggles, dealing with chronic health or pain, career issues, or grief/loss; i.e., dealing with anxiety and/or depression, it's time to make a change! Even if you’re just tired of feeling MEH!

I am passionate about helping those who feel or have felt hopeless at times in their life due to exposure to trauma and other lived-experiences which create pain, fear, and uncertainty.

I work with individuals and families utilizing attachment-based practices, and am passionate about providing a safe environment for each client that steps through my door.
