Spirituality Therapists in Orem, UT
You may be an individual or a couple feeling stuck in cycles of conflict, disconnection, or emotional intensity that no longer feel manageable. Many clients I work with are navigating high-conflict relationships, uncertainty about the future of their partnership, or tension between personal values, faith, and identity. You may feel overwhelmed, unheard, or unsure how to move forward, yet still hopeful that clarity, connection, or peace is possible.

I work with nearly all presenting concerns but find particular joy in serving those with histories of adverse experiences, relationship and family of origin concerns, ADHD/ASD, and anxiety. I especially enjoy working with individuals from collectivistic cultures, various faith contexts, and high-responsibility roles such as parents/caregivers, first responders, and military personnel. Across all contexts, my goal is to create a space where patients feel safe enough to explore what’s hard and challenged enough to grow into more grounded, connected, and intentional versions of themselves.

My approach to therapy is one that centers you and your unique experience, as well as the goals and concerns that you are coming to therapy to address.

I believe that therapy is a tool to help people towards a meaningful and fulfilling life. In my professional experience trauma, depression, and various anxieties can make life feel overwhelming and lonely. However, we can reconnect with meaning and fulfillment through exploration and healing. My practice focuses on individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, trauma, and OCD. The experience and training that I have received and developed over the last several years include faith challenges and LGBTQIA+, focusing on self-determination and self-empowerment.

Life has a way of opening us to both wonder and hardship. There are moments when everything feels bright and steady, and moments when the ground shifts beneath us, when emotions feel heavy, old wounds resurface, or the meaning we once carried begins to blur. In those times, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed, shaken, or unsure of how to move forward. And yet, I believe those moments are also invitations: signals from within that something in you is ready to be seen, understood, and healed. When you come to therapy, I see a person with a story, a history, and a depth that deserves care.

I also enjoy working with clients who are seeking to heal and develop their relationship with their spirituality and religious practices.
We often have conflicting feelings within ourselves that create problems in our personal lives, relationships, and how we view ourselves. My goal is to help you identify and explore these core emotions, thoughts, and perceptions on a deeper level, develop coping mechanisms and communication skills, and find a greater sense of purpose and personal worth. I have a relationship-focused, empathetic approach, and believe therapy is meant to be a place of non-judgment, openness, and acceptance. I use multiple modalities including IFS, mindfulness, emotion-focused, and somatic approaches.

I help LDS teens and adults who are exhausted from trying to do everything right and still wondering if they’ve done enough. You may replay conversations, second-guess decisions, question your intentions, or worry that one mistake means more than it should. Anxiety, perfectionism, intrusive thoughts, or painful experiences can make it hard to trust yourself and feel at peace. I help you understand what’s driving these patterns and change them without asking you to set aside your faith or values. Therapy is active, practical, and focused on helping you move forward with more clarity and confidence.

Many adults come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in painful patterns, or carrying the lasting effects of difficult life experiences. Trauma can impact how you relate to yourself, others, and the world around you, often showing up as perfectionism, self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, disconnection, or relationship struggles. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore these experiences with care and begin to heal.

Together, we work to understand these patterns and build more meaningful ways of relating to ourselves and others.

At one time or another we all tend to lose our way. Finding our way back can be difficult. Courage is the ability to do the things we don't enjoy so we can then feel better and accomplish more. Talking about our issues and seeking help is not easy. There is hope and a safe place to share your worries, concerns, and to work on any issues. Finding a compassionate, supportive, therapist who believes in your abilities to overcome your issues with minor adjustments is why I became licensed. Give me a call and lets go to work.

Many of the people I work with are carrying burdens they have been holding on to, alone, and for a long time. They may be grieving a loss, feeling overwhelmed by worry, fear or saddness, strugling in relationships, experiencing spiritual distress, or simply feeling stuck and disconnected.

I believe healing is not always found in having the perfect answers, but in learning to look at ourselves, our experiences, and even our circumstances through a different lens. I have always been drawn to the quiet wisdom found in metaphors, poetry, and stories. There is something beautiful about the way a poem can put words to a feeling we could not name, or how a simple children’s story, carried with us from childhood, can continue to reveal new meaning as we grow. Sometimes, the stories we return to throughout our lives know something about us that we have yet to discover for ourselves.

Our lives are shaped by unique experiences, many of which include moments of hardship, loneliness, fear, and sadness. Part of being human is sometimes finding ourselves lost and in need of support. The beauty in this is the opportunity for growth and healing - an act of strength and self-compassion.
“To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.” – Lao Tzu. This quote serves as a reminder of the importance of cultivating stillness. By calming the mind through a variety of approaches in therapy, we create space to move through pain and foster self-love.

I thoughtfully tailor treatment using approaches such as EMDR and CBT most often, while also incorporating Reiki, energy clearing, and spirituality when appropriate to support healing on emotional, mental, and energetic levels.
I have over 10 years of experience helping adults and children heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I specialize in EMDR therapy, which helps reduce symptoms such as nightmares, hypervigilance (fight, flight, freeze), and emotional distress by reprocessing traumatic experiences.
I use an integrative, flexible approach that may also include CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and an understanding of epigenetics—the way emotional patterns can be passed through generations. Telehealth is available for added flexibility. I invite you to reach out for a free consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

I like to come at therapy kind of like I would a drummer at a jam session. I'm there to find a groove with another voice. I want to communicate with you and help you to open up and learn to express yourself. We will seek understanding first and then we will find a way to encourage healing and growth that is unique to you and builds a stronger identity. I am strengths-based and I like to find existing skills to help a client build a new way of thinking and interacting with their body. This is also a very effective way of beginning the process of healing symptoms of PTSD in conjunction with other evidence based trauma treatments.

Navigating life as a teen, college student, or adult can come with waves of anxiety, depression, disconnection, and self-doubt. You might be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward—especially if you're dealing with trauma, identity concerns, or big life transitions. My goal is to offer a space where you feel genuinely seen and supported as you sort through it all.

Spirituality Therapists
What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.
What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.
Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.
How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
