EMI Health Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

Do you want to get better but don't know how? You're the kind of client I want to work with. I work with adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and substance abuse. I help clients gain insight into their issues and recognize what they're already doing that's working. I believe you have all the tools you will need to cope with life, we just need to work together to discover them. Ultimately, I want you to practice good self care, have tools that work for you, be assertive, have compassion for yourself & others, and make choices based on what you value.

As a licensed clinical psychologist since 1995, I have years of experience working with individuals across the range of life’s problems—from coping with current situational stressors to addressing more serious, longstanding difficulties. I pace therapy to ensure that our work matches what you need and want within your current circumstances, balancing between emphasizing your strengths and improving coping with exploration of more difficult issues. Whether you are seeking brief assistance or more in-depth therapy, I will work with you in a respectful, empathic, and collaborative manner.

Everyone comes to therapy for different reasons and in different places in their life. My goal is to provide a welcoming, non-judgmental, and supportive space to my clients that allows for the creation of a healthy therapeutic relationship. I work with adolescents, adults and couples who are struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, bipolar, trauma, OCD, and borderline personality disorder (BPD).

Healing is real and possible. Suffering does not have to last. I help clients live authentically, find more peace, and connect more to self and others by increasing awareness and acceptance of emotions, increasing body discernment/somatic mindfulness, and enhancing the body/mind/spirit connection. Feeling better comes through learning to regulate the nervous system through the reprocessing of old trauma and healing one's attachment wounds, expressing emotions using expressive arts/music/movement/drumming/psychodrama/writing/etc., learning to re-frame negative thoughts, increasing shame resilience, and practicing self-compassion.

Full Circle Yoga and Therapy is a trauma-informed space facilitating life transformation through evidence-based therapeutic interventions, yoga, & mindfulness. We offer individual, group, family, and couples therapy/counseling and can usually schedule new clients within 2 weeks for an initial intake appointment.

Everyone can struggle at times with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, traumatic experiences or other mental health issues. I believe that each of us have the ability to work through pain and uncomfortable experiences with the right tools. We can progress together by identifying obstacles and problematic behavior, increasing coping skills and resilience, and promoting change in line with individual goals. My approach considers the entire individual in their complexity and humanity. With a holistic perspective on counseling, I aim to incorporate the mind, body and spirit of those I work with.

I am an Associate Clinical Mental Health Counselor (ACMHC) and a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) through the Association for Applied Sport Psychology. Together we can work on what you as the client are looking for; either clinical mental health or sport and performance. My goal as a counselor and consultant is to help you improve your life and performance. Life is difficult, and together we can create a space for you to heal, cope with life stressors, and improve overall mental health.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space to explore issues that have created significant barriers to growth, healing, and change. If you've experienced a stressful, troubling event that's left you feeling powerless, you may have been traumatized. I utilize the latest research to help those affected to not only begin the process of healing, but learn how to engage and effectively diminish and manage symptoms. I am trauma-informed, with training in mind body bridging, a holistic therapeutic approach incorporating the mind, body, spirit, and emotions that support the healing process. I am also trained in IBSR, and EMDR.

I have a strong belief in the possibilities of healing, growth and change within an authentic collaborative client/therapist relationship. I have over 18 years of experience working with individuals and families recovering from trauma, living with chronic illness, working through relationship concerns and facing the challenges of mental illness. Taking the first steps to heal is often difficult, or even painful, however in doing so we can create a "path with heart" and meaning. I take a mindfulness based, goal oriented and active approach to therapy with focus on developing critical life skills.

I'm incredibly devoted to assisting you in finding ways to make life more enjoyable while still acknowledging the daily ups and downs. If you come to me, my end goal is to help you rediscover who you are by rebuilding the relationship within yourself and moving forward through the struggles you've encountered through your life.
