UnitedHealthcare UHC | UBH Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

We all get stuck. "Stuck" could mean: a miserable job; a tough relationship; or difficulty adjusting to life-changing news, and not knowing what to do next. Therapy is a great place to find help getting unstuck and regaining your life's momentum. I help my clients move on from stagnation and help them reach a place that they feel is healthy. Every experience is different and therapy is appropriately designed according to the client's concerns.

We all need support at times to care for our internal and external worlds, and to dive into the depths of our often layered lived experiences. To care for ourselves in this way, we may need to pull up the weeds of adversities or traumas at a pace that feels right. I hope to offer a warm and compassionate atmosphere for you as you gently tend to the past while remaining rooted in the present. Through attention and intention in therapy, I believe that flowers of wisdom, curiosity, self-compassion, resilience, and hope can grow.

"Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." ~ Marilyn Monroe Do you want to make peace with, and move on from people or experiences affecting your happiness? I work with First Responders, couples, families, individuals, and those suffering from addictions. I partner with clients, developing a strong and trusting relationship as they navigate life's changes and transitions. Some choices are difficult to make. Through a colaborative approach, clients gain the confidence to live their lives whole heartedly.

Hello! First, I want to acknowledge what a brave, scary step it can be to begin therapy. I am passionate about mental health and want people to know that it really can get better. I work with mental health disorders in adults, especially anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I am particularly passionate about working with people struggling with past traumas or hardships that continue to affect their life in the present. Together we can work on issues such as understanding your mental health, coping with difficult thoughts & emotions, self esteem, interpersonal issues, managing your mood, and more.

I feel great privilege anytime someone chooses to consult with me in exploring the problems they are facing. No matter the issue, I believe that you are the expert of your own life and I view therapy as a collaborative process that helps individuals make meaning of life's experiences. Therapy is more than just talking, it's healing our past so that we can find joy and purpose in today. I have experience working with people living with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, addiction, sexual issues, and faith transitions. I also have experience in working with military troops and their families. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming.

Offering treatment for mood disorders, anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, addictions, and substance abuse. I work with people of all ages, couples and families, as well as specialized treatment for LGBTQ/Transgender health.

Life has become even more challenging since the beginning of COVID for so many reasons. You may feel like something is wrong with you. You may be sick and tired of being tired. After giving your best with life and relationships, you might be confused why you still feel so broken. Living with depression and anxiety, trauma or domestic violence, abuse and PTSD can make everything harder. Life can start to feel impossible especially when few truly understand. Others tend to give well meaning advice and so often it only emphasizes that there must be something wrong with you.

In response to covid-19, I am now accepting new clients either via video or phone session. Insurance will still cover these types of visits! I am committed to helping you build confidence and hope through developing credible plans and an understanding of your strengths and struggles. For many people, seeking counseling can be uncomfortable because it requires looking deeply at one's life, or because of uncertainties about counseling's effectiveness. In addition to relying on evidence informed practices, we are consumer centered and will partner with you to help find solutions!

Do you find yourself struggling with self-defeating thoughts, sad and anxious feelings, and behaviors that don't seem to bring you much joy? Do you feel stuck? Well, this can happen to anyone, even therapists. (And it's important to work with a therapist who has done their own therapy.) There's no shame in getting help. It's a sign of being real with yourself and a sign of strength to reach out for help.

I provide psychological and neuropsychological assessment for a variety of conditions including ADHD, autism, mood and anxiety, TBI, trauma, personality disorders, executive functioning, learning, intellectual disability, and cognition and memory difficulties. I have extensive experience working with parents and schools to access academic services for their children. I provide individual therapy specializing in trauma, mood and anxiety, and executive function difficulties. I also provide forensic consultation and assessment nationwide in civil cases with a focus in child abuse and trauma restitution.

I enjoy working with adults who are dealing with the after-effects of chronic trauma throughout childhood. This can mean high levels of emotional reactivity, intrusive memories of difficult past events, and difficulties in obtaining and maintaining important interpersonal relationships. My ideal client is looking for ways to feel safe and secure in the world and to, as Dr. Marsha Linehan would say, "build a life worth living." I also feel confident working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety and other interpersonal issues.
