Couples Counseling Therapists in Bountiful, UT

I am dedicated to assisting adults with life's challenges and transitions to improve their quality of life and help them meet their individual goals. For more than 20 years, I worked with adults and their families to navigate the challenges of aging as a professional geriatric care manager and dementia expert. Now as a therapist, I specialize in depression, anxiety, family/relational issues, and grief and loss. Though I enjoy working with adults of all ages, I continue to use my expertise in care giving, dementia, and resource and referral for older adults and their families as well.

Do you feel trapped, scared, or ashamed by your behaviors, yet confused as to why you cant stop? Do you feel betrayed or traumatized by the person you thought would love, respect, and support you the most? Are you overwhelmed with how your partner 's addiction and behaviors are high-jacking your lives? Have you experienced trauma and feel like you'll never recover? If you find yourself struggling with any of the above issues, I'm so glad you've found me. You do not need to navigate these turbulent times alone. Call me for a free and confidential phone consultation.

I believe that, as people, we are resilient and have an innate ability to weather life's storms. I also believe that we weather those storms better when we are equipped with tools, strategies, and support from others. I use a myriad of evidence-based approaches to tailor treatment to the unique needs of each client. I enjoy helping individuals to draw upon and discover their own strengths and abilities as they overcome challenges, and become stronger in the process. I have experience working with adults, adolescents, and children (ages 5 and older) in residential treatment centers, day treatment programs, and outpatient settings.

I have a passion for working with people from all walks of life. Oftentimes we may feel alone or like our problems are so great they cannot be overcome. Other times people feel a lot of shame about reaching out for help and see it as a sign of weakness or failure. I can assure you that you are not alone in your suffering or with your specific problems. Change, connection, and relief from mental and emotional suffering is possible. It is important to remember that we humans are social creatures and that reaching out for connection and support is built in to who we are, not a sign of weakness.

I recently started a private practice after working for UNI for 4 years, and previously practiced in Brooklyn. Most people think therapy is going to someone to vent at and receive endless empathy; that's nice, but where has that gotten you? I get to the root of the problem/s; my clients experience an interactive therapy that produces results. My methods are directive, down to earth, and engaging for both children and adults. We all develop habits that serve us in the moment, only to discover that those same behaviors and narratives are keeping us from getting what we want out of life and relationships.
