Child Therapists in Orem, UT

I utilize EFT and the Gottman Method with couples; I focus on family work with children because individual play therapy is often unhelpful, in the long-term; Filial Play Therapy and PCIT are my favorites models for parents with their children.
I believe in people’s own wisdom and listen with the intent to help people follow their own values. I believe in empowerment and practice therapy in such a way as to help my clients lead therapy with guidance and input from me but where they are the decision-makers. I work within parenting, couple, and intrapersonal relationships to reconcile and unify.

I specialize in working with individuals, couples, young adults, and parent- child relationships.
In my mind, the ideal client is someone who has recognized that some aspect of their life is no longer working and is ready to take steps to restore balance. This person is seeking help to get their life back on track. I enjoy working with a variety of clients, including individuals, couples, and families. The people who seek counseling to validate that change is necessary, and who desire professional guidance to collaborate in identifying their natural strengths (or at least their potential capabilities) to overcome difficulties, tend to be goal-oriented. My hope is that my warm and inviting office atmosphere, and a safe space.
