Trauma Focused Therapists in Holladay, UT

Providing individual psychotherapy to adults in person and online, I am dedicated to providing an affirming and inclusive space for all. I specialize in treating trauma, suicidality/self-harm, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Everyone has issues & problems. Healthy people admit it. I grew up with debilitating anxiety & OCD. In life, you can choose passion or fear. I chose fear for 30 years. I was a prisoner to anxiety when I found myself at the end of my proverbial rope. I began working with a therapist who helped me to understand the root causes of my fears, but I still felt stuck. I started working with a somatic coach who taught me about mindfulness & body work and took me on a life-changing journey to India, where I trekked in the Himalayas & discovered my life's purpose - to turn my trials into triumphs so that I can help others to do the same.

Private Pay, not accepting insurances. Death, loss, and grief are natural parts of life. But when death arrives suddenly and unexpectedly, such as with suicide, accident, or overdose, the overlap of the traumatic experience and the grief of the loss can overwhelm us. At such a time we can experience symptoms of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). With PTSD, we may experience flash-backs, hypervigilance, increased startle reactions, and nightmares.

Whether you (or a partner) are going through a life transition (faith, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital), experiencing relationship struggles, or hoping to gain a deeper understanding of your inner world, I welcome people to show up however they're feeling and work at their own pace. Goals can include anything from developing healthy coping strategies, increasing self-esteem, and practicing self-compassion to learning the value of boundaries, working through relationship struggles, or healing from trauma. I hope my clients find therapy a tender space between their daily grind and larger aspirations.

I believe that every person has within them the capacity for change and healing. I focus on using a person-centered approach to therapy, to help each individual find their unique path to healing and growth. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment in which you can feel comfortable being yourself, and uncovering your own personal strengths. I strive to be a supportive listener to help people improve their lives through better understanding of themselves, and stronger coping skills.

Life can be a puzzle, As a therapist, I work with children, adolescents, adults and families to help identify their strengths and help with solving their life puzzles. I have a wealth of experience with mood disorders, anxiety disorders,marital issues, childhood mental health disorders, as well as foster care and adoptive issues. I use individual, family, and couples therapy as needed for the situation. Give me a call and we can discuss if I can help and if not I can find a suitable referral for you.

Do current events have you frazzled? Ever felt like you were in a relationship with someone who wasn't available? Or are you trying to rediscover yourself after divorce, having a child go off to college, or death of a loved one? I help people with all kinds of situations. Whether you are experiencing problems in a relationship, grief or bereavement, depression, anxiety, or a spiritual crisis, there is hope. I am trained in EMDR, CBT, ACT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, psychodynamic theory, and routinely learn from experts in the field. Perhaps most important though, is that I listen.

Are you stuck in a picture you created as a child? A picture with children and a blissful relationship? As women, we strive for the "what should be". Sometimes those pictures need to contain fluidity and movement and morph into something that we never expected. Many women experience infant loss, infertility, child loss, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and don't know where to go, who to ask, or if something might be wrong with you. Some women experience the trauma of the NICU life, a medical termination, and so much more.

I offer an empathic, client-directed approach and love helping clients build better versions of themselves. I meet clients where they are and provide a space where they can explore their unique life experiences and find their path forward. I have worked in the mental health field for 8+ years, beginning with getting a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from BYU.

I am passionate about helping others. This passion led to years of study and becoming skilled in several effective forms of treatment. I enjoy working with people to create a shared vision and plan to achieve the changes they seek. I am committed to serving those I work with and to that end I believe in providing all of the information needed to make an informed decision about our approach. I endeavor to create an environment of safety and sincerity and to aid in developing increased self-acceptance and compassion.

Hey there. I'm a huge believer that by looking at strengths, open to finding blind-spots (we all have them), willing to do uncomfortable work and open in therapy, you can find relief and feel better in the areas that bring you to searching for a therapist. Everyone has a story and everyone has the capability to find resilience and strength to let go of the burdens and amount of discomfort you may be feeling.

Available state wide through video conferencing. Many people struggle with feeling different, strange, or like others do not relate to them well. Many people feel like they have to hide who they are and have no place to be themselves. Many new clients worry about being pushed to confront truths and emotions before they are ready. I seek to first get clients ready to change then support them as they lead the way. This goes for the person with depression who needs to reshape their relationships; the person with PTSD facing their painful past; and the gay person grappling with the consequences of coming out or not.

I work with young adults, adults, and couples to create healthy changes while diving into deeper work for long-term healing. I feel that a lot of issues that trouble us are related to trauma, dysfunctional relationships (both with the self and others) and problematic patterns that develop from trying to cope with issues without the proper tools. I work with clients to help strengthen their identity, heal trauma wounds, and form positive relationships and connections. I have experience with family and relationship conflict and provide help with parenting challenges, couple’s issues, grief and loss, and self-esteem.

I am a first-generation Asian immigrant in the U.S. with over ten years of experience in the mental health field, helping teens and adults find stability and a greater sense of self. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, isolation, life transitions, and relationship issues. In a world where we struggle to communicate and find clarity, understanding, and meaning, it is crucial that we progress together and discover what it means to live with purpose, freedom, and a meaningful sense of self.

Life offers us challenges and opportunities. Often courage emerges when we reach out for help when life seems overwhelming. I offer my clients a safe space to explore their emotions, relationships, and goals. In my practice, I partner with my clients as they discover insights, access the power of hope, and explore their vulnerability. I work to develop a trusting non-judgmental relationship that allows clients the space to uncover insights that lead to growth and resilience. I enjoy walking with my clients as they discover paths to peace and creativity in their lives.

I specialize in working with individuals living with challenges related to trauma, grief, separation and loss, as well as sensitive sexual and relational issues. I use a great deal of sensory-integration and brain-based approaches providing a non-threatening, safe, and inviting relationship with which to share some pretty "scary" stuff. I help individuals improve their relationships with themselves and others, while feeling safer, feeling better about themselves, and feeling empowered in their own voice and actions.
