Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Provo, UT

I am passionate about 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).

I am accepting new clients and offer Online Counseling via Telehealth. I've provided over 10,000 hours of therapy and like Confucius said, "Choose a job you love, and you will never work a day in your life." I managed LDS Family Services for 13 years and loved directing the 12-step Addiction Recovery Program in Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania. I've been recruited by multiple residential treatment centers, a hospital, a skilled nursing facility, and by an IOP program assessing and treating substance abuse and domestic violence.

I offer counseling to individuals and couples. The most important trait I believe a therapist can bring to a person who is suffering mentally, emotionally and or spiritually is unconditional positive regard. I welcome the opportunity to help you navigate the complexities of your mental health. Together we can determine a treatment plan that meets your specific needs. Nothing is more rewarding to me than helping clients overcome challenges and increase their joy, satisfaction and qualify of life.

In-person and teletherapy appointment options available. Life is full of challenging and painful experiences. These stressful, sometimes traumatic events can create suffering, grief, and emotional upset. You may lose focus on your goals. Your relationships may be negatively affected. If your life plans go off course, get pushed aside or delayed, you may need help getting things back on track. I am passionate about empowering clients to find peace and self-compassion, reduce distress, and reclaim their lives. I work with teens and adults helping them bravely transition from a state of survival to one of thriving.

Do you often have difficulty falling asleep or find yourself awake at night struggling to fall back to sleep? These are common symptoms of insomnia that can negatively affect work performance, quality of life, and emotional health. Insomnia is often accompanied with other psychological problems, including depression and anxiety. Many individuals with insomnia deal with symptoms for decades, unaware that there are evidence-based and effective psychological techniques that can help.

There are many reasons that life can feel overwhelming or difficult to manage. Feelings of hopelessness, loss of control, fear, anger, shame, or sadness often lead to negative thoughts about self or the world around us. Sometimes we may find ourselves in situations because something happened to us that is outside our control. Things can be different. Together with clients I work to create a safe, trauma-informed, collaborative workspace for you to develop the skills needed to find hope and healing.

My practice is focused primarily on working with young adults. I am particularly gratified by watching young women find their true identity and recognize their own capacity for love and strength.

As an adoptive parent of a child with RAD (Reactive Attachment Disorder) and suspected FASD (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder), for over 14 years, I have had a front-row seat to how trauma penetrates and impacts a person in every aspect of their life as well as those around them. Helping people make sense of their trauma and helping them gain back joy in their life is a passion of mine. I am passionate about helping children through the hard times in life, such as divorce, the loss of a loved one or school feeling really difficult. These stressors add to the overall stress of a family and make even smaller tasks harder.

People who choose traditional methods are often not able to make significant progress even after years of therapy because they focus on symptoms and coping/suppressing/denying their emotions. My clients tried EMDR, talk therapy, CBT , and others but continued to struggle to resolve their anger, sadness, fear, numbness, negative self talk, broken relationships and isolation. I use legal psychedelic medicines (cannabis and ketamine) with a patent pending somatic processing technique (SLIP) to facilitate the healing of deep emotional, attachment, and core belief wounds. Most, within 3 months are living the best lives they ever have.

Do you have a strong desire to fully love and be loved?Do you find that something always gets in the way of healthy relationships, whether that’s with romantic partners or friends and family?Maybe you have a partner, but find that you’re always fighting or keeping your distance from each other. Perhaps you feel lost and alone, without purpose or meaning in the world.Many people I work with have struggled with distracting behaviors, like sex or porn issues, which are really about anxiety and a fear of true connection. I help people overcome challenges, so they can find loving connections with themselves, with others, and their faith.

I am passionate about breaking down the stigmas surrounding mental health. So often we find ourselves with negative thoughts and beliefs about ourselves, others, or the world around us that hold us back from understanding and seeing who we really are and what we can become. I seek to help individuals to break down their negative and distorted thinking so they can see themselves and the world around them in a more healthy and positive way. I enjoy working with older teenagers to young adults who struggle with a range of anxiety, depression, and negative views of self.

Does life feel exhausting and overwhelming? Do you feel like you’re drowning and are having difficulty coping? Do you feel stuck and wonder when you will feel like yourself again? Asking for help does not make you weak; in fact, I think you are incredibly brave!
