Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Provo, UT

I offer counseling to individuals and couples.

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.

I have over 10 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescence and adults. My areas of expertise include: trauma, anxiety and depressive disorders, maternal mental health (i.e. postpartum depression), grief and loss and issues of self-esteem.

Every person has value and experiences challenges as part of living. I enjoy working with individuals helping with change and growth in their lives.

I enjoy using the Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Art & Sandtray; as well as Mindfulness techniques. Creating a safe place of trust is priority, a place where the client can open up and address their most sensitive and difficult challenges.

"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom," (V. Frankl).

When experiencing burnout, acute/chronic stress, trauma, and/or chronic pain I work with you to restore balance in your life by processing stressors, trauma/triggers, and building in resources to increase resilience in the face of these barriers. This is achieved by working as a team: You are the expert of you and I bring the expertise of psychology.
