Therapists in Orem, UT
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. You aren’t alone if you feel like you’ve lost yourself to traumatic events, social expectations, and the stressors of everyday life. It is my hope that my therapy office can be a space where you show up as you are and take a break from questioning your worth.

My philosophy is that we don’t go to therapy to feel good; rather, we go to therapy to get good at feeling. Trauma, abuse, prejudice, shame, and mental illness can all lead to difficulties with experiencing emotions and being accepting of ourselves. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space to help you navigate, identify, and explore your feelings and behaviors. I specialize in working with women and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I am conscious of all my clients’ social identities and the impact of oppression and trauma.

When we feel trapped in unhealthy patterns, painful relationships, or overwhelming circumstances, we lose hope that things can change. In this hopelessness we may struggle in asking for help. Everyone encounters pain, feelings of failure, and hardships, but that doesn't mean we need to suffer. Our work will aim at building awareness of emotions and thoughts, reprocessing past traumas, exploring how we connect and/or disconnect from them, and change the patterns that entrench us. My hope is to help you access healing and the development of your inner self.

I believe in a collaborative approach, and my goal is to empower you with practical tools and strategies to manage anxiety, heal from trauma, and move forward with greater confidence and independence.

Can we change or not? Can things get better or will they always be this way? Whether you’re looking for help for yourself or someone else, the fact you’re here illustrates that you believe change is possible. I mention this because it is a vital beginning point to all successful outcomes, and the first step to internalizing change. Good start! We'll begin the therapeutic process where you are; this is your journey. I believe in a collaborative effort at therapy, and my goal is to help my clients understand their sticking/stuck points enough to be able to work through them independently.

We develop our interpersonal styles when we are very young. Moving into adulthood, people tend to keep doing what they’ve always done – even if it has stopped working. As a result, they may feel depressed, anxious, and blocked from having the rich life experiences that they crave. In my psychotherapy practice, I work with older adolescents and adults who are struggling in relationships – with parents, employers, friends, or intimate partners - and do not know why or what to do about it. My aim is to help people (1) develop an awareness of their interpersonal styles and (2) find ways to make adaptive change in their lives.

My personal philosophy is that therapy is a tool of empowerment and that the process of working through problems with an empathetic counselor can lead clients to new solutions and to new ways of meeting life’s challenges.

My ideal clients are adults, teens, and couples in Utah County stuck in patterns of shame, secrecy, or self-criticism, often tied to eating disorders, pornography or sexual addiction, or the overwhelm of ADHD. Many have tried therapy before and left feeling like they only talked in circles. Others are new to counseling, carrying anxiety, trauma, faith questions, or family conflict they've never said out loud. My approach is collaborative and connection-focused, but the goal is always forward motion: real, lasting change, so clients move past what's holding them back instead of revisiting it session after session.
