Asperger's Syndrome Therapists in Orem, UT

I love helping adults, children, teens, and their parents successfully navigate life’s challenges. My primary focus is on creating a safe space for people to process their struggles and discover and build on their strengths. I believe that people have what they need to thrive inside of them and my purpose is to help them access that through talk and play. I am familiar with and trained in using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Seeking out therapy can be nerve wracking; opening up to a therapist can be intimidating. I’m aware that this can be a vulnerable experience, and my priority is to make you feel safe and empowered to want to make a change in your life. My goal is to meet you where you are at in life, and provide you unconditional support during your time in therapy.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life! Start the journey to more peace and happiness in relationships with others and within yourself. Have you wanted to go to a therapist but felt apprehensive? I have seen and heard everything over the 20+ years in practice so nothing will shock me. addictions, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, communication and conflict resolution, as well as intimacy and sexual issues in couples therapy. also eating disorders and body image issues, grief and loss are just a few of the areas I specialize in. If your not sure where to start, I can help. I offer Saturday, daytime and evening times.

One of my all-time favorite quotes is “broken crayons still color”. To understand that you can feel broken and still have value is vital. It means that your worthiness is not based upon the things that have happened to you. Nor is it based upon your mistakes, your outward appearance, or your lack of friendships. The list goes on and on. My personal belief of worthiness means that it applies to ALL and bears no cost, much like the concept of grace. This is a belief I try to bring into all my sessions.
