Brad also works with individuals struggling with grief and loss, depression, anxiety, PTSD and abuse, faith/spiritual crisis, self-harm, addictions, parenting issues, marriage counseling, etc.
Working to improve mental health, creating positive changes, and increasing feelings of peace and happiness in one’s life and relationships can be one of the most difficult things anyone undertakes. I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey from where we are to where we want to be. After having walked with so many people navigating this road of personal growth for over 20 yrs I have become comfortable having those uncomfortable conversations it requires. Deseret Counseling understands the path as well, having been voted best counseling in Utah County the last 10 yrs and counting.

As a Mexican American marriage and family therapist, I offer compassionate support to individuals, couples, and families facing various challenges.
Whether you are a therapy veteran or have never sought mental health services before, I hope to support you as you navigate the collision of your internal experience with real-life challenges. For clients that don't even know where to begin with issues in the family, parents that are struggling with their child's transitions, and couples seeking clarity on "communication," I imagine that obtaining help can feel like an uphill battle.

As a mother/foster mother of seven with a marriage of nearly 40 years, I bring a wealth of experience with family challenges and the realities of what happens in families.
Many people feel unhappy and disconnected from themselves and the people they love. If you are wondering if there is anything you can do to strengthen yourself and your relationships, there are answers. New coping skills can help you see yourself and your relationships differently, new brain techniques can help resolve old traumas, and current research can bring understanding. It's never too late to look at your life differently and change what's happening in your world.

I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist working under the supervision of Marty Erickson, PhD, LMFT.
Are you struggling with a critical voice that says you are “too much” or “not enough” for those around you? Are you tired of people pleasing or defensiveness taking the lead in your relationships? As a recovering perfectionist with late-diagnosed ADHD, I am familiar with the work of building self-compassion and a growth mindset.

Marriage Counseling Therapists
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
