Whether you are looking for help with your child, your marriage, or your own personal healing, I am here to guide my clients as they find understanding, develop tools and skills, and facilitate their recovery.

I am the founder of the Igniting Change movement and counseling office. Our focus is on removing barriers to emotional healing, like shame and negative beliefs, to ignite positive change and connection to our best selves and others. As a therapist, I specialize in helping youth and adults to overcome compulsive behavior (i.e., "process addiction") and trauma. I believe that as we ignite loving, genuine relationships and heal from past scars, we become our best selves and lead happy, fulfilled lives.

I understand that when we meet for the first time you won’t be on your A game. That’s ok. I’m ready to give you and your family the benefit of the doubt and meet you right where you are at. I believe those things you may label as weakness or failure make sense in light of what you have been through. Don’t give up! Growth, change and healing are possible. I’ve experienced them in my own life, and I am privileged to watch them unfold in the lives of others every day.

Life presents challenges that can feel overwhelming and painful. You may need help moving through anxiety, depression, relational struggles, or loss.

I believe in the value of healthy, supportive relationships for ideal individual, couple and family functioning.

Asking for help can be tough, but it shouldn't be scary. It's not overreacting to ask for what you want and need - but it can be hard. Often, we are desperate for change but aren't sure what to do or how to get there. If you are dealing with the struggles of parenting, emptiness in your relationship, or find yourself in need of healing, I can help. I specialize in helping people navigate the stress, anxiety, and sadness of life to find peace, joy and meaningful connection.

It can be hard to know where to turn for help when you start to recognize that something is off in your life. My goal as a therapist is to help you get to the source of your distress and start seeing positive change. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Utah and California and have been providing therapy services to children ages 4 and up, adolescents, and adults. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are dealing with a range of difficult issues.

Tired of responding to different life situations and getting little to no evidence things are improving? How about unmanageable levels of anxiety disrupting your day to day concentration? Are you looking for relief and support to navigate these challenges?

I am a compassionate individual who is willing to sit with individuals in their struggles and pain to enable them to reach their optimal level of health.

I assist my clients in connecting with their inner strengths and seeing themselves differently and more clearly see their potential through a combination of compassion, insight, and utilizing the latest techniques in mental health treatment. I strive to create a safe space for kids and adults to come and be able to express themselves using art and play.

I would be grateful to be included in your healing process.

Searching for a therapist is overwhelming. You want to find someone who you can trust in what is likely one of the most confusing times in your life. After all, a deep part of you is feeling broken and alone in the world. Your mind won’t give you a moment’s rest. You feel unsafe in your own body and uncomfortable in your own skin. Your relationships are suffering—and with all this going on, you're now expected to choose a therapist.

We are professionals but we also "wear so many other hat" in our lives. We understand different dynamics in life, and of how challenging they can be. We also understand the joys life brings as well. We want to help you to find your best self, so you can create the life you desire. We strive to create an environment that is supportive of your journey, and a space where you don't feel judged and can work through some of your painful experiences.

If you want to get to the "why" of your addiction, get farther from the "want" of your addiction. I specialize in helping individuals gain tools to reduce the "want" and then find space to understand the "why". If you only have the hope for hope, that is a good enough place to start.

It’s my personal belief that relationships make the world go round – at least when they’re connected and supportive. Life is hard and relationships can feel very complicated sometimes. Others can say and do hurtful things and trust can be broken by the very people we care the most about. We internalize messages we learned at home or elsewhere and those impact how we interact and be in relationship with others.

My name is Giovanni, Gio for short. Odds are if you're reading this then something is up and you know something needs to change. However, figuring out what that is can be a challenge. Sometimes we are too close to the picture to see the frame, and this is where therapy can help you take a step back from the picture that is your life. Life can be tough but that does not mean you have to face it alone. Let's sit down together to find a different way of approaching life. I work with everyone regardless of age, race, sexuality, gender, etc because at the end of the day life affects everyone's mental health.
