Marriage Counseling Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

Relationships can be difficult, and the effect of relationship distress on you, your partner, and your family can be profound. I offer help for relational distress, specializing in couples counseling, and marriage and relationship therapy. My therapeutic work is guided by the idea that relational distress is couple specific, often presenting as a break-down in communication arising from difficulty in bringing one’s authentic self to the relationship. Addressing that difficulty can lead to a greater understanding of self, other and relationship, empowering partners to be in relationship in more positive, genuine, and satisfying ways.

Life is a journey and along the way there are often circumstances that create great pain and trauma that often redirect us down the wrong path.If we try to ignore the pain it only gets worse & the cycle of dysfunction begins! I have learned that we all need help navigating though life's trials, and yet it takes a lot of inner strength to even ask! As a therapist my goal is to allow you to reach your greatest potential during this journey and gain the right tools to navigate through anything that comes in your path!

I provide counseling to individuals and couples in the Salt Lake City area. I work with my clients to identify issues clearly and help them to create lasting change. Once this change occurs, problems will be seen as opportunities, rather than failures. I am often told by my clients they feel a level of trust, acceptance and comfort that has been missing with other therapists. When working with individuals, I use acceptance and mindfulness based approaches to manage anxiety and other symptoms you may be experiencing. I will help you look at negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a fulfilling life.
