Life Coaching Therapists in Sandy, UT

People come to therapy when they are seeking support for problems that feel overwhelming, or when they sense they are not living the life they want. I work collaboratively with clients, walking alongside them as they seek new perspectives, helping them to examine old beliefs and approaches that are no longer working.

I have over twenty years experience working with adolescents. My primary expertise is working with teens, parents and family dynamics but I love working with anyone who is seeking to empower and better themselves. I have experience working with almost every problem and issue but I have found that what truly makes a difference is when people learn to be the most powerful element of change in their own lives. People get better when they become empowered and learn to help themselves. That's when they start to look beyond their own limits. I love seeing people make this step, those are the ones I love working with the most.

It takes a lot of courage to reach out and say "I'm struggling". I understand that. My goal is to create a healthy and supportive space for individuals and families to do just that. Once those words are spoken, we can then start working together to create a more peaceful life and environment. Often in communities, families, churches and organizations, saying that I am struggling is discouraged and possibly not supported. Living a more peaceful life is the goal. What would life look like for you? Be brave. Call, text or email me. Lets get started.

I am passionate about helping others regain their freedom through processing trauma. When I started my own addiction recovery process I had to heal my own traumas and wounds. In 2016 I started the UnashamedUnafraid podcast to be a voice of hope, speaking personally about sexual addiction recovery. Now I work with others to help them experience the freedom of healing. I also enjoy leading groups and individuals through life -changing workshops. My core belief about the healing process is that it comes from within. Everyone already has what they need to heal. Hope is possible for every heart no matter how big the trauma or hopeless.

Human struggles can prevent us from experiencing the sweetness of life . Sometimes we forget how powerful and significant we are while facing these struggles. Through a sincere therapeutic alliance, we will navigate the waters of cultural, intergenerational, external/internal environments, familial, and life experiences to cultivate a deeper awareness and reconnection with self and others. Navigating the depths of the “Dark Night of the Soul” can sometimes feel isolating and lonely. It takes great strength to call upon another to help guide us along and I want to commend you for taking that first step.

The first thing I want to tell you is that I truly love my job and my life . Here are some common questions my current clientele have come to me with: I think I am weird.

I often think to myself, I can't handle this, what's the point? I want to hit 'reset' and it scares me when considering all that could look like." When the head heals, so does the rest of your life .Come in and lets remind your head what bliss feels like.
