Emotionally Focused Therapists in North Logan, UT

I work with individuals, couples, and families to create new experiences that lead to healing, including healthier attachments and liberation from pain, shame, blame, sadness, fear and other painful emotions. As a marriage and family therapist, I have been trained in systemic therapy and include the context of relationships in my clinical work. My approach looks at the whole person and the whole system and involves Experiential, Structural, Emotionally Focused and Gestalt psychotherapy models. I am also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an eye-movement based therapy for the treatment of trauma.

People rarely come to therapy on a whim. Usually, there has been much deliberation and agonizing before an appointment is made. I have been working with people in a mentoring/coaching/therapy capacity for over 25 years and I know it is scary to begin a relationship with someone you don't know. I try to make it easier by being approachable and straightforward; Solas, my dog is there to engage as much or little as you wish. The consistent feedback I get from my clients and those I mentor is that they feel heard, honored, valued and safe.

Life can be full of unexpected challenges. Navigating those challenges alone can be overwhelming and sometimes debilitating. However, there is a way to find happiness and hope again.

NOTE: Currently only accepting past clients. I specialize working with people that struggle with feeling inadequate and undeserving of love. Self-destructive cycles may be the result of such and I can help break those with my experiences in similar patterns.

I hope to support healthy self-care, boundaries, and more effective interpersonal interactions.

Whether you are encountering personal problems, relationship issues, life adjustments, or confronting trauma; therapy has the potential to offer you support, consistency, and insight to help. I seek to address both the immediate presenting problems you are dealing with and the deeper, more long term issues that may be contributing as well. I value genuine connection, humor, suspending judgment, and supporting others in all phases of life in my therapeutic approach. Through the lens of these values I utilize a range of therapeutic modalities including; ACT, EMDR, Brainspotting, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and a humanistic approach.

Struggles in life are often related to the connections we have with ourselves, others, and how we make meaning.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges and struggling to maintain joy and peace in your relationships? Despite our best efforts, it's not uncommon to encounter obstacles that seem insurmountable. If you're finding it difficult to navigate through these issues, know that you're not alone.
