Therapists in Sugar House, Salt Lake City, UT

As a licensed psychologist and clinical social worker I have over 20 years of experience providing therapy to a wide variety of clients. I have special proficiency in what is called high performance psychology, which includes helping people with mental health concerns as well as reaching an optimal level of performance/happiness. I enjoy helping people develop a mindset that sets them free from self-doubt, fear, or anxiety. I will work with you on helping identify the barriers to achieving your goals, such as personal desires, athletic achievements, or professional/career goals. I look forward to working mindfully with you.

Queerness, faith transitions, religious trauma, and sex. I can (and do) talk about these topics all day. Any one of these issues can seem overwhelming and impossible to deal with. As a therapist who has dealt with these issues myself, I bring both professional and personal experience to help you move forward. I know every person's story and life is unique and I won't project my experiences on you. However, you won't have to explain the "Mormon lingo" or worry that I won't understand the unique issues queer individuals face in a heteronormative and cisgender world.

As your therapist, my intention is to create a safe environment for you to be and explore yourself.  Together we'll bring awareness to your thoughts, feelings, emotions, body sensations, values, desires, memories and more, to deeply understand what its like for you to be you. Awareness opens the door for understanding, self-love, and change. To support your therapeutic journey, I use Transpersonal therapy, Gestalt therapy, Somatic-based trauma therapy, Process Work, CBT, dream work, inner child work, and shadow work. I specialize in LGBTQ+ affirming therapy and affirming letter writing.

At Green Willow we specialize in working with teens and adults who are struggling with childhood trauma and abuse, PTSD, relationships, women's specific concerns, depression, anxiety, stress, LGBTQ, and life adjustment concerns. We work with adolescents and adults who are struggling with mood disorders, family dynamics, coping skills, and emotional dysregulation. We provide a peaceful and supportive environment to explore past traumas, discuss current concerns, and plan for a more fulfilling future. We believe that each of us has the capacity for healing and growth, and that within us we contain the answers for a more joyful life.

Have you struggled with feeling good about yourself? How does your perception of yourself impact your life? Each of us have lived experiences that leave imprints on our lives sometimes impacting our ability to trust, and connect with ourselves and those around us. I aim to foster a space in therapy that invites room for curiosity, safety, and also bravery in order to encourage---growth, self-discovery and healing. I work with both young adults and adults who are experiencing never feeling enough, or have experienced: trauma, self-harming behaviors, eating disorders, body perception issues, perfectionism and negative self-perception.
