Anger Management Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

I enjoy working with individuals as they navigate life challenges. Life can make anyone feel stuck at times, I am here to work alongside you to identify potential directions. I hope to assist you in navigating thoughts, emotions, beliefs, relationships, circumstances, and patterns of behavior that have interfered with your sense of well-being. I help those I serve master boundaries and emotional regulation. I help individuals learn to manage anger or intense emotions in the present moment to react in ways that align with their goals or desired outcomes. I believe in the importance of highlighting your strengths in our work together.

Are you feeling angry? Maybe in the dumps with little motivation? Is your mind often scattered or confused? Paralyzed by worry? Do you often experience conflict in relationships which mean the most to you? Does it seem like regardless of the efforts you make, returns are minimal to none? I have built my practice helping others reconnect to their innate place of clarity and well-being, to then resume life guided by their self-power and wisdom, experiencing a true satisfaction and success.

Every individual has inherent value, strengths and gifts. I use compassion and a variety of clinical interventions to help my clients work through the challenges that are preventing them from experiencing life in a more fulfilling way. Too often we succumb to the narrative that we are not good enough, flawed, broken. You may have suffered due to trauma and harm inflicted by others or a painful life event. We will work together to help you recognize their own resiliency, heal trauma and harmful messages and gain effective coping strategies.

“When we deny our stories, they define us.  When we own our stories, we get to write a brave new ending.”  Brene Brown. This statement resinates in how I work with clients.  Owning your story allows you to slow down and stand in your own truth; owning your truths gives you power over them rather than allowing your pain, struggles and misconceptions to have power over you. Working together in a safe environment we identify and hone your strengths, as you shape your life into the story you envision and deserve, and you find peace in the midst of chaos.

My areas of focus: 1) Individuals who have been unsuccessful in relieving anxiety, anger , or depression with other therapies, 2) Men who have been told they have " anger problems", 3) Faith transitions, whether staying or leaving, 4) Sexual health concerns, 5) Couples who are confused about what they need and where to get it, 6) Couples who are stuck in ambivalence about whether to stay and work on their relationship, or separate.

I have a caring approach, and rely on proven cognitive-behavioral methods (CBT), focusing on you as an individual or as a couple. I specialize in the treatment of stress and anxiety, which sometimes present in the form of overwhelming anxiety, panic, anger , OCD, PTSD, or depression. After careful evaluation of you and the challenges you face, we together begin a goals-oriented approach to life change and relief of the symptoms that can be so difficult to experience. Therapy means both finding solutions and change, and we set out on that journey from the onset of therapy.

Do you remember the last time you felt happy? LIT helps you look inward and find that happiness. For those who have never experienced true joy, LIT can help you discover it.

As humans, it is not a matter of ‘if’ we will encounter the less glamorous aspects of life, but ‘when’. Each of us has the innate capacity to work through moments of change and transformation although, at times, that truth may feel impossible, false, or inadequate. As a practicing clinical therapist, my intention is to collaborate with you to support your own inner power to regain control in your life within a nonjudgmental and confidential safe space. In fostering your unique abilities together through exploration, processing, and individualized modalities, it is my goal to empower you to aspire to your full potential.

I practice primarily from a compassion-oriented perspective. In my practice, I embrace vulnerability and lean on the power of human connection. My approach to this work centers on the mind-body connection, nervous system awareness + relational equity as the most valuable components in healing from trauma. All of the biggest emotions are welcomed in the container we co-create. Trauma can create an imbalance in power dynamics and rigid options in our lives, so power-sharing + access to choice will be the anchor we often come back to.

You’re here because being a HUMAN is hard work. You’re beaten down by the pressures of life, the people in it, and the things you have lived through. I get that. You’ve gotten yourself this far, and I know this can be overwhelming. So here’s how I plan to give you the tools to move from surviving to thriving in your badass life. First of all, the only way I know that therapy works is if you trust and connect with your therapist. So I show up in each relationship with authenticity, no bs, and no judgment. Because once you and I make an alliance-building connection, we have unlimited possibilities for producing really powerful work!

I provide therapy not only because I strive to support others, but because I believe therapy works. I admire the vulnerability and strength that go into the healing process. I know you have within you what it takes to heal, but that doesn't mean you have to do it alone. You deserve to feel safe enough in both your mind and body to fully engage in life. My clients are seeking out therapy for relief from their complex trauma, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and/or anger . I work with anyone ages 14 and up.

Sometimes life can be painful. When depression, anxiety, grief and loss or stress from a traumatic event interfere with your ability to function at your best, feelings of hopelessness and helplessness increase and self confidence all but disappears. This is when anger , fear, sadness and despair take a toll not only on you but on the relationships with those you love. I can help you examine these difficult feelings in a safe, non judgmental environment. As new ways of thinking and communicating are learned and practiced, your life and your relationships will be deepened and enriched.

Do you have anxiety or stress that is crippling your life? Depression that keeps you from connecting with others or thriving in your career? Anger that gets in the way of relationships? Or perhaps your marriage or relationship seems to be crumbling. If any of these hit home with you, therapy will help you.

Therapy is one of the best forms of self-love and self-care. I applaud anyone who sets aside time and makes space for working on their mental health, managing their stress, dealing with life transitions, improving their relationships, addressing past trauma, or any other things that might bring them to therapy. I believe each person is the expert on themselves and has an innate ability to heal. I want to meet my clients in a spirit of collaboration and respect.
