Narrative Therapists in Juab County, UT

Sometimes our trauma and lived experiences can make us hide authentic parts of ourselves. Trauma can arise from various experiences in our lives, including the quieter, less obvious ones. It can be anything from shame, bullying, humiliation, and the stressors of our environment. Whatever the case may be, the effects it has on our day-to-day lives can feel crippling. One of my primary goals is to help my clients learn to embrace & welcome all parts of themselves, even the parts that are hurt & traumatized. Authenticity and advocacy are core beliefs I stand for and trauma work is something I am passionate about.

Therapy today is geared toward finding problems or issues in people. This approach tends to create an environment where we are made to be victims of our own challenges. Therapy with me is geared toward finding the strengths you already possess and maximizing the potential of those strengths. I am not here to fix you. I am here to empower you to be the best version of yourself. Find out how different therapy can be.

I believe that life can be meaningful and fulfilling. This can come from exploration and healing. The focus in my practice is on LGBTQIA+ individuals and individuals experiencing faith crisis, transition, and questioning. In my professional experience trauma, depression, and various anxieties can make life feel overwhelming and lonely.

Whether it's the first time or the hundredth, telling someone your story is daunting. Let's start wherever you are in the moment. I want to help you dismantle harsh narratives we often take on, sometimes without even realizing it. The stories we tell ourselves shape our behavior, relationships, physical health & entire reality. Along with Narrative Therapy, our work will include multiple evidence-based modalities— all proven to relieve symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, and increase self-esteem. I love working with both individuals & couples. I tell my clients all of the time, we heal within the context of healthy relationships.

Life is full of unexpected bumps, making handling the emotional and behavioral responses that follow them challenging. Many who walk in my door already know what they need and want.

I believe in tailoring my treatment to fit your individual needs and making building a solid therapeutic relationship a priority.

I believe in empowerment, healing and support and hope to provide such to all my clients. I have worked with children, teenagers, adults and families for the past three years. While I specialize in trauma focused work, I also love to help build resiliency and strengthen the protective factors we all need in our lives. I have a passion for helping parents to be more successful and helping children and teens to understand and cope with their emotions. I believe every person has the ability to make changes in their life to feel better; I can help support you through client-centered, strength-based, solution-focused therapy.

I am passionate about helping individuals, couples and families find their path to discovering better mental health, increased communication skills and sense of wellbeing.

My interest and experience also includes working with high school students, older adults and the acquired brain injury population.

I work with folks who are struggling with anxiety, stress, perfectionism, burnout, disordered eating, and trauma responses as well as those who are navigating life transitions and identity exploration. I am especially passionate about supporting folks in high-demand roles, including athletes, students, and healthcare professionals. My clients are often seeking to re-establish and engage in a relationship with their bodies, food, and movement; understand and honor their emotions; set and hold their boundaries; and identify and connect with their values and strengths. I also center consent, harm reduction, and community care.

Relationships can be complicated, challenging, fulfilling, and rewarding all at once. My role is to help you navigate these relationships in a way that makes sense for you. I am a non-pathologizing therapist, meaning I believe people are not defined by the problem they are struggling with. For me it is an honor to be invited into someone’s life story and to be trusted to help create their desired change. I understand that people have varied experiences and come in with different goals/expectations. It is my job to meet someone where they are, and to work collaboratively at their pace.

OPEN for May appointments! - I believe in healing that gets to the root - the best healing happens when therapy involves compassionate, deep self-reflection and honest, real conversations in a safe environment. I work with clients and their partners and family members to heal from difficult past experiences and current conflicts toward brighter futures, stronger relationships, and a more secure sense of self.

Life’s struggles don’t just go away or clear up on their own. I help people move toward their peak functioning: in academics, employment, or relationships. I focus on helping my clients gain tools, transformed perspectives, and the support they need to gain resilience so they can rise up to meet life as it is instead of hoping it will change for them. In the process, they change their life. Let’s address the root issues so you can move forward. Whether you’re navigating the effects of trauma, a college student debilitated by anxiety, or simply struggling with figuring out who you want to be, let's get to work!

I am passionate about walking alongside people as they navigate life’s challenges and hope to help them tap in to their authentic selves. I support others in achieving their definition of wellness by using multiple approaches including: EMDR, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and DBT all through a trauma informed lens.

I utilize various therapeutic approaches to assist my clients. Some of the approaches I use are psychodynamic, person-centered therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and narrative therapy. I work with people of all genders, orientations, ethnicities, races, and religions. I offer individual, couples, and family therapy. Some of my areas of special interest and ongoing expanding expertise include anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, low self-esteem, relationship/marital issues, grief, sex therapy, understanding sexuality, open/ Polyamorous relationships, transgender/gender non-conforming individuals, and faith crisis/ transition.

My focus has been on the way trauma, lived experiences, social systems, and substance use often show up and weave together in us. We all have trauma, regardless of how we take up our space in the world. I love to show people their inner strength and foster self-compassion through harm-reduction and specialized trauma treatment techniques. I strive to confront the often-overwhelming stigma and shame so many of us have surrounding mental health issues, sexuality, gender expression, race, ethnicity, and spirituality. If you feel scared or stuck, I am ready to help navigate your unique process and path.

I have extensive experience working with anxiety, panic disorder, depression, trauma, PTSD, childhood abuse/neglect, rape/sexual assault (women and men), self-harm, and developing/strengthening healthy relationships. The approaches used are client centered and include a combination of narrative therapy, CBT, DBT, EMDR, REBT, ACT, among others.

Pain, an intrinsic aspect of being human, at times dominates our experience, making it feel like the prevailing narrative. Despite repeated attempts to address and overcome it, the pain persists, leaving you with a sense that confusion and hurt define your story. Seeking clarity and a way forward may seem daunting when surrounded by the overwhelming presence of pain. Despite the desire for more, the starting point remains elusive. Let's navigate this complex terrain together, exploring avenues for understanding, healing, and ultimately finding the light at the end of the tunnel.
