Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

We are an inclusive, somatic, neurodiverse, trauma informed, and sensitive therapy practice nestled in the Liberty Wells area of Salt Lake City, Utah working with couples, adolescents, and adults.

Are you stuck feeling like you want to change but can't? If you're struggling with patterns related to anxiety, disordered eating, or relational concerns my approach is to help you address them in the way that fits your life. If your goals include: changing behaviors that are hurting your functioning, navigating important life changes, or increasing well-being in relationships (with yourself or others), you are my ideal client.

A compassion based approach that honors and collaborates with your own, innate strengths and healing abilities. For some, the work may be learning new skills to better manage and enjoy the challenges of every-day life. For others, it may be the deeply spiritual work of learning to heal the parts of themselves that were wounded in the past.

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.

I invite you to experience a cooperative therapy relationship in which you have the freedom to be yourself, to be imperfect, to laugh, and to evolve. Do you look like you have it all together, but inside, you struggle to enjoy life? Despite your best efforts at change, do you feel stuck? People who reach out to me are high achieving and high functioning adults often with successful careers, families, and/or social lives. Despite their accomplishments, however, they struggle privately with emotional concerns including anxiety, grief, self-doubt, unresolved trauma, perfectionism, chronic pain, and relationship problems.

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.

Do you struggle with ongoing patterns of behaviors and/or thoughts that you know aren’t helpful, but you can’t seem to change them? Perhaps you’ve even been to therapy before, but the patterns continue. You didn’t “failed” at growth or healing, you just need a different approach to addressing core issues. I take a modern therapeutic approach based in neuroscience, offering alternatives to old, outdated, traditional talk therapy in order to create long-lasting changes. I work with individuals who are feeling stuck in life, have anxiety, depression, shame, trauma, complex trauma, relationship problems, and faith crisis.

I am passionate about helping people find a deep connection to themselves. I specialize in helping teens and young adults heal, grow, and move through life’s difficulties. My ultimate goal for my clients is for them to develop a strong sense of self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-compassion, build healthy coping strategies, enhance their emotional intelligence, and foster positive relationships with themselves and others. I can help you navigate through this critical phase of life with a sense of balance, inner peace, and a clearer direction for their future.

Therapy can be a significant help in finding relief from difficult feelings such as anger, grief, or sadness. Therapy is also an effective tool in finding solutions and confidence in difficult relationships, or with behaviors that you or a loved one may be struggling with. I acknowledge the courage it can take to seek assistance, as a therapist I always focus on clients strengths. I often work with adults coping with anxiety and depression, relationship difficulties, or various types of PTSD. I take a special interest in working with various types of trauma, dissociation, and dissociative disorders in adults.

Seeking assistance with anxiety, depression, self-worth issues, substance use issues, or trauma can feel overwhelming. It takes courage to reach out for help. If you want to break the cycle and change the patterns that are keeping you stuck let us work together. I work with individuals struggling with addictive behavior and family members caught in enabling and codependent cycles. Understanding addiction and the importance of love and compassion with boundaries is essential in this process.

We all want fulfillment or to be content and we often struggle to be that way. Our life experiences, culture(s), and development contribute to ways of thinking, feeling, and living. Add adverse or traumatic experiences to those influences and we seldom escape without reinforced negative beliefs about ourselves or the world. These beliefs can be right in our faces or very subtlety prodding at our subconscious. Either way, this is where we all need help and guidance.

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.

My purpose and passion is to help people who have experienced addiction and mental health issues (like myself). Let's transcend your painful experiences together so that you can achieve genuine and lasting fulfillment in life. My therapeutic approach is derived from several evidence-based and trauma-informed models of intervention. I believe in a highly-collaborative approach, and will individualize therapy to suit your specific needs and preferences. I utilize a strengths-based perspective to assist you in addressing whatever challenges you're facing. Come embark on a journey of discovery with me, to expand your own capabilities...

We all know life can be overwhelming and full of challenges—I believe we all can benefit from a little help at times; someone who listens without judgment and encourages personal growth. I understand that taking care of yourself and your relationships is the most important thing you can do. I believe that people have an innate potential to grow and heal. I strive to pinpoint the issues and address them directly with clarity and compassion.

When certain challenges arise in life, it can be difficult to figure out what the next step is. It can be especially difficult to deal with life's circumstances when you feel like you have to do it on your own, or when you're not really sure where to look for answers. What would it look like if you could find yourself fully empowered to find those answers within yourself? As your therapist, I will stand alongside you and work to help you find healing. Together, we will identify and work through the barriers keeping you from feeling whole and complete... whether those barriers exist in the past, present, or concerns about the future.

What does healing mean for you? That is usually where I start in therapy. I work with the individual in a person centered approach where I collaborate with clients to give them a therapy plan just for them. My clients are the experts of their own life and experience, I approach my role as a therapist as one to empower and help guide my clients as they pursue goals we come up with together. I began working as a therapist in 2019.

Are you worried about your teen? Are they acting withdrawn or angry? Are their grades dropping? Are they excluded from their peer group or hanging out with peers that concern you? I will help you achieve your goal of restoring happiness and inspiration to your child's life. If your teen needs support with recovery from prolonged sadness, constant worrying, low self-esteem, drug abuse, sexual assault, self injury or family conflict, counseling can help.

While I support clients of all identities and ages, I specialize in working with clients who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, might be experiencing life & faith transitions, or have been impacted by health conditions or disabilities both personally, professionally, or familial. I also have over 10+ years of extensive experience working with children and adolescents. I have supported young adults through feelings of anxiety, depression, self-harm, and identity exploration. I hope to offer my clients a corner of the world that provides a space of connection, curiosity, and healing.
