Teletherapy for Salt Lake City, UT

Life is a challenging adventure. I work best with people who are curious about getting unstuck and pursuing their goals. Whether it is stagnation in your career, challenges in your relationship, or anxiety about the many "what ifs" we face each day, asking questions and exploring possibilities provides a way forward. Learning more useful strategies to cope and engage with challenges will be a cornerstone of our work together.

I work with people who are trying to reclaim the story of their lives. Some of us lost years preparing for a life we would never live. The lessons and milestones of our childhood were meant for someone else's future. Now, we have a chance to be the person we are, not the person others expected; to determine the genre of story we live in, and the type of hero we become. This creative task is fraught with the peril: on one hand, feelings of meaninglessness; on the other, the pressure that everything we do is of infinite heaviness. I work to help people balance the infinite potential of their lives with the pressure to live perfectly.

Depression triggered by feeling hopeless and helpless, High anxiety triggered by work stress and feeling overwhelmed with projects , Anger issues because people don’t understand you and you don’t understand people, Trauma because of your experience with abuse and neglect is currently affecting your life, Infidelity because you lack spontaneity and adventure in your relationship, Marital issues because your spouse is not actively listening or validating your feelings, Men issues because you feel nothing is going right in your life, and women issues because you put family/friends needs before your self-care

Do you have previous treatment trauma? Had a bad experience with the traditional service delivery system? Need help de-consuming from unhelpful consumables including psych meds? Looking for Medical Cannabis? Ready for more holistic health and wellness? Are you experiencing signs of unresolved trauma, loss/grief, or shame? OBH is a liberation clinic, that is anti-racist, and focuses on the underlying traumas related to health & abilities, gender, sexuality, race, immigration, religion, etc. that forms to express as anxiety, depression, bi-polar disorder, addiction, and ADHD. We can help with FMLA and student registration appeals.

For me it comes down to living POWERFULLY by accepting full responsibility for our lives. In that comes freedom. Freedom from addiction and compulsion. Freedom from self hate. Freedom from toxic relationships. Freedom to "respond" rather than "react". Freedom to live in accordance with our OWN values such that, at the end of the day, we're good with ourselves. I'm inspired by such COURAGE on a regular basis. We've all got "stuff". At some point, the question is, "what're we gonna DO about it?" It's a great privilege to do this work. Note: I am not in a position to provide crisis services.

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.

I work with individuals and couples who desire to move beyond their past, create the love they know is possible, or overcome anxiety and depression. You have the capacity for true happiness. You can have an incredible relationship. It is time to work through self doubt, a major life transition, or a growing apart. Why work with me? Because you need a therapist that wants to understand you. You don't want judgement, you want direction. You deserve to feel comfortable and unafraid to embrace who you are right now, with confidence that a happier life is waiting for you.

I provide online psychotherapy for adults struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, ADHD, and OCD.

Are you looking for a sex therapist to help you navigate issues like sexual frequency, sexual shame, relational communication, infidelity, and sexual disorders (i.e., erectile dysfunction, painful intercourse, anorgasmia, low sex drive/arousal, out of control sexual behaviors)? I work with individuals, couples, people navigating non-monogamy, and other sexual minorities who often feel there are things about sex and their sexuality that they should know but haven't been able to ask or explore. It is important to me to create a safe space for you to learn the information that will enhance your sex life and relationship.

If you are struggling with feeling connected to yourself, if you are afraid of your emotions or you are feeling "numb", and/or if you "don't know what to do" I believe that I can help. I work from a feminist/multicultural perspective because I have found that helping someone find the balance between choice and surrender lends itself to a more empowered and fulfilling life. I have extensive training and experience working with survivors of sexual assault and I believe when we can find our own sense of power, life overall becomes more satisfying.

Life seems extra challenging these days and it's easy to feel overwhelmed and stuck. Seeking support is the first step in choosing yourself and a step closer to living the fulfilled life you seek. So congratulations, you're already on your way! I strive to facilitate a welcoming space where clients may feel safe and understood while we work together to integrate your personal strengths with research proven therapeutic practices propelling you towards your unique goals.

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.

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.

The clientele I specialize in are those who struggle with depression, anxiety, body-image /self-esteem, disordered eating, and OCD. Most importantly, I work with those who struggle with showing themselves compassion and grace as they navigate the hardships that life often presents to them. The clients' primary goal is to create a life that brings them joy and happiness, as well as the self-confidence and knowingness that they can manage hardships and regain control in creating the life that they want.

I’ve found most people are tired of listening to their shame voice. It’s the voice of “should” and “must”, which says if you don’t do as is expected, you aren’t good enough, you’re broken, or you’re unlovable. And many have lived with that voice for so long, they’ve assumed it to be an authentic voice, rather than an outside one. You want to be free of the unrealistic expectations put onto you by others that have been internalized. You crave a little more connection, and a lot less judgment.
