Domestic Abuse Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

At Amethyst Center for Healing we are dedicated to helping individuals, families, and communities recover from trauma and abuse , so that we may all live peaceful, empowered lives. We understand that sometimes people go through things that never should have happened and that those circumstances can be damaging for everyone involved. As trauma informed, solution oriented therapists, we will explore your circumstances with you and help you find a plan for what is going to work best to get you moving forward to the healthy, productive life you want to live.

Working from a Solution-Focused approach I find that helping clients find alternative ways of handling all they struggles of everyday life.

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.

I provide individual, couple and family therapy as well as substance abuse and mental health evaluations. There are many different methods I may use to work with the particular problems that you are addressing. The length of time you spend with me varies depending on the particular problems that you are experiencing.

Over the last 10 years I've specialized in working with teens, young adults and their family systems. It's hard to find a good therapist who can sincerely help those struggling with depression, anxiety, failure to launch, oppositional defiance, substance abuse , relationship difficulties, lack of motivation and emotional regulation. If you're feeling stuck, angry, lost or confused, it can be helpful to meet with someone who can meet you where you are at and help you create a better life though understanding, compassion and confidence. I work especially well with parents and teens who have tried other options and ready for progress.

Trauma may be a part of your story but it does not have to define you or leave you feeling anything less than a strong survivor. My passion in life is to help each individual to feel empowered, strong, worthy & successful. Each of us are impacted by life changes, emotional disruptions, traumatic events etc. My love is to step into your world, observe it how you see it & help you navigate it. I am passionate about helping individuals heal from the wounds that events leave upon us. I believe our bodies carry our traumatic events, physically & emotionally. I believe in healing the mind and body, all aspects of life, from the inside out

Throughout this human experience, we often need support when we feel lost, afraid, or stuck. I believe in every client's ability to connect with their inner wisdom, identify their strengths, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves.

I know what it's like to struggle with the challenges of family, parenting, aging, grief, employment, marriage, life transitions, career loss, self fulfillment and purpose. Married for over 42 years, having owned a family business, I learned firsthand how to find purpose and peace in the midst of stress, depression, loss, anxiety and grief. I draw on personal experiences of raising children, marriage, owning a business, aging parents, chronic pain, major life transitions, loss, depression, anxiety, addiction and stress. These life experiences give me a unique understanding and ability to help clients overcome similar challenges.

Do you worry that you may be in a toxic relationship? Is your relationship filled with euphoric highs and devastating lows leaving you with a gut feeling that something is not right? Do you want to leave the relationship but feel trapped and don't know how? I have specialized training that can help you learn and identify how you are being emotionally manipulated as well as how to leave a toxic relationship. If you choose to stay we can work together to help you find healthy ways to cope with the ups and downs and patterns in the relationship.

I don’t believe any of us get through this life without some trauma. That could be a trauma with a small or big “t.” Regardless, it is my belief that everyone who walks through my door has most all the answers to their issues already. My role is to remove the barriers and roadblocks that prevent an individual from progressing and improving their self worth, and self efficacy. I employ a variety of interventions, including trauma-informed CBT and trauma-focused mindfulness. I believe strongly that finding the right therapist is about feeling comfortable and trusting in the therapist’s knowledge and skills.

I am a relationship-based psychotherapist who approaches therapy from a place of collaboration and a belief that we are each the experts on ourselves. I am especially interested in issues of diversity and inclusion, and exploring the impacts of oppression and discrimination on those who feel marginalized. I use a feminist - multicultural lens to create a safe place for exploration, to increase empowerment, and to live a more authentic and satisfying life.

Living during times of crisis can be more stressful and overwhelming, which can make dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship issues even harder. Asking for help, and taking time to take care of you is a healthy and important part of handling it all. With all of us going through so much, it's even more important than ever to take good care of ourselves. My specialties are healing CPTSD, LGBTQ+, relationship issues, recovering from narcissistic relationships, emotional abuse , and gaslighting. LDS faith and religious crisis/transition, and living a life of authenticity are also a big part of my work.

Investing time to tell someone your story can be daunting. Let's make this comfortable - come as you are. I want to help you dismantle the harsh narratives we often take on, sometimes without even realizing it. Stories we tell ourselves shape our behaviors, relationships, physical health, & entire reality. Along with Narrative Therapy, our work will include multiple evidence-based modalities— all proven to relieve symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, and increase self-esteem. I love working with both individuals & couples. I tell my clients all of the time, we heal in the context of healthy relationships! Let’s grow together.

It takes courage to seek the help of a therapist. My primary concern when I first meet a client is to respond with empathy and sensitivity to the distress which brings you to my office. In an atmosphere of genuine safety and acceptance we can begin the process of collaborating to understand and resolve your concerns. I draw on a number of theoretical perspectives and more than 20 years of clinical experience to provide therapy that is as effective as possible, in a compassionate, confidential and comfortable setting.
