Therapists in Midvale, UT
I have specialized training in treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and grief. Clients who work with me develop a greater tolerance for uncertainty and feel equipped to see the opportunities in unplanned and unwanted events.
Our sessions together go beyond a "vent session," and include psychoeducation and challenges given between sessions, most of which are fun as I believe creativity is a powerful healing modality.

Life can present us with difficult challenges that leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or hopeless. My goal is to help individuals in those circumstances overcome the barriers they are facing to live a happy, healthy, and purposeful life. I value and celebrate people from all walks of life.

You know you want to make changes, but you can’t make sense of your own behavior. You're worried that you may be getting in your own way. Maybe you feel driven by perfectionism, or maybe you can't figure out why you are stuck on something that seems obvious. Do you need another mind to show you different ways to move forward? I can help. There's a great metaphor in the Japanese culture, where they practice a form of ceramics, kintsugi, that repairs cracks with gold to create a new work of art. If you find your mind or life in pieces, let’s make sense of the pieces, build your confidence, and create something new together.

I believe vulnerability, connectedness, worthiness, self-love, and authenticity are critical to self-actualization and happiness. If you're feeling blocked in any of these areas by grief, trauma, anxiety, life or faith transitions, attachment and relationship problems, or just feeling stuck in general—I can provide a safe, supportive, empowering space to help you.

Every person (including you!) has value and worth. It doesn’t matter who you are, how old you are, what you have done, or what has happened to you. You are valuable, just because you are here. Secondly, know that your life has value and a meaning – even when you are in pain. Many of us at various times of life need a little extra help-whether to process “stuff” that happened, or to figure out why we do what we do – I have a lifetime of experiences and training to help you do just that!

You're sitting, talking with a group of friends in a place you have been a hundred times before. Suddenly, everything starts getting far away, feeling unfamiliar, voices muffling. Your heart starts racing. You clench your hands together to keep them from shaking and realize they are clammy. You're looking for the nearest exit; looking at the faces around you to see if anyone notices that you are off. The internal terror and turmoil are rising and you know it's only a matter of time before you completely lose your mind.

Meet Our Therapists
I find that when people have someone who is non-judgmentally supportive, who holds hope for them, who sees them and hears them, and believes in their worth and abilities, they can have the space to finally breathe. And thrive. I am a direct and curious therapist, and I love to dismantle shame, ease the burden of anxiety, support neurodivergence, and help people step into their truest selves. I look to bring helpful dynamics into relationships of all forms and dynamics. I empower my clients to trust themselves enough to enjoy their lives again (or maybe for the first time) through skills, processing, and a therapeutic relationship.

Are you tired of hearing clichés like "just think positive" to solve your problems? Positive thinking has its place, but it won’t bring back loved ones, break addictions, or make anxiety vanish. Life is full of emotions—both good and bad—and believing we should only feel "good" ones is unrealistic and can add to our suffering. My goal as a therapist is to help you navigate challenges in a way that aligns with your values. Together, we’ll focus on taking meaningful action, no matter what life throws your way.
