Public Employees Health Plan Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

We are a group of LGBTQIA affirming clinicians that are dedicated to meeting our clients where they are at and supporting them with exploring their unique identities, hardships, strengths and personal goals. We are honored to serve and support the dynamic young people of our community by giving them a safe space to process past trauma, grief, interpersonal challenges, family issues and more. We use a person centered and strength based approach to building positive relationships with our clients that allow them to feel seen, appreciated for who they are and supported with building a stronger sense of self, purpose and value.

I work with individual adults and couples from all economic, racial, sexual orientation and cultural sectors. It’s important to me that you feel safe, validated and supported in therapy. My goal is to help you realize your full potential and work through whatever it is that’s blocking you from achieving it. I take an action-oriented approach to therapy. I use EMDR, acceptance and mindfulness strategies to create life flexibility and long lasting changes.

I work extensively with adults, adolescents, couples and families addressing the challenges in creating a satisfying and meaningful life. Often times we can feel stuck in our lives, using emotion-regulation and relational skills that served us in the past. Like outdated software, these skills no longer serve us as we have matured, as our circumstances have changed or as we have developed relationships with others who bring a different relational culture. This sense of stuckness may lead to depression, anxiety, addictions, compulsions and/or relational difficulties that leads people to work with me.

I work with adults who are struggling with feeling stuck in life, have anxiety, depression, shame, relationship problems, trauma and many other issues. My treatment style is attachment-based to help clients better understand the root issues related to thoughts, behaviors and relationship patterns. I incorporate neuroscience to target the whole individual: the body and mind.

I believe that therapy is a journey that the therapist and client travel together and am passionate about empowering my clients to find their own unique strengths as they work toward their goals. I offer multiple therapeutic modalities and customize sessions to best fit my clients’ needs. These include (DBT), CBT, and Motivational Interviewing. Together we can help you discover and work toward what is most important to you.

If you are suffering from your mental health, therapy can help. You may feel worried about the future, stuck in the past, dealing with a lot of stress, or grieving something or someone you have lost. From your perspective, it can feel like a part of you is lost and the world feels different. It’s really hard right now. People don’t seem to understand. Your heart is heavy yet shattered at the same time. Life isn’t slowing down, and you can’t seem to catch up. It all seems like too much to carry… and it is.

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.

I am passionate and excited to engage in collaborative therapeutic processes that leads to discovery, awareness, and greater self-worth. She is passionate about the evidence-based treatment as a therapeutic modality due to the focus on noticing thoughts and emotions and the impact on behaviors leading to self-discovery, awareness and greater overall worth. In her work, Jessica emphasizes social justice, feminist theory (looking at systems), strength-based, and CBT.

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.

Life seems to have a way of throwing curveballs that even with best effort and resources aren’t resolvable on one’s own. Therapy can be a place to understand and work through the sticky issues. It is a way to: build resilience, develop or learn new skills, challenge perspectives/ thinking patterns, grieve, change behaviors, align behaviors with values and move toward positive change.

After living and working in UT for 17 years, I have relocated to CA and am providing telehealth, with in person visits every 6 weeks. I have 20 years experience treating eating disorders and work within multidisciplinary teams to provide a high level of care, outpatient. My practice has consistently been 95+% eating disorder clients, who also present with anxiety, depression, self-harm and related behaviors, PTSD and/or relational trauma. I approach eating disorder treatment with a strong focus on both physiological and emotional recovery, and am able to treat those with mild to severe eating disorders within the outpatient setting.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages, especially related to anxiety, depression, OCD, identity exploration, suicidal ideation, and trauma processing. I am passionate about LGBTQIA+ individuals receiving queer-affirming therapy that empowers them to find a community who will support and celebrate all aspects of their identity. I use an eclectic, trauma-informed approach drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, and principles of mindfulness and self-compassion.
