Brainspotting Therapists in Springville, UT
I am certified in TF-CBT, DBT, and have additional training in Brainspotting.
I believe that life circumstances, whether emotional, physical, mental, or spiritual, can create obstacles that interfere with growing as a person. Some stressors don't resolve easily or at all, and need some coaching to get around them. My goal as a clinical mental health counselor is to assist in helping my clients get closer to healing, matching what steps they are ready to take and offering encouragement for a full healing process. I see my role as a therapist as guiding people to their own inner guide, offering clarity, and giving insight into their own lives.

I am accepting new clients and offer Online Counseling via Telehealth. I've provided over 10,000 hours of therapy and like Confucius said, "Choose a job you love, and you will never work a day in your life." I managed LDS Family Services for 13 years and loved directing the 12-step Addiction Recovery Program in Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania. I've been recruited by multiple residential treatment centers, a hospital, a skilled nursing facility, and by an IOP program assessing and treating substance abuse and domestic violence.

I work with adults who feel emotionally stuck despite being highly self-aware and insightful. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, shame, grief, or distressing experiences that continue to affect daily life and relationships. They are often looking for more than a space to talk — they want a focused approach that helps them process experiences, create meaningful change, and move forward.

In our work together, I use Brainspotting, a powerful brain-based method that helps release trauma held in the body and mind.
Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, burdened by the weight of depression, past trauma, or patterns of behavior they don’t fully understand but deeply want to change. Some are navigating the complexities of adoption or foster care—questions of identity, belonging, and attachment that can echo throughout life. Others struggle with problematic sexual behaviors that bring shame, secrecy, or strain to relationships. My ideal client is someone who’s ready to look beneath the surface, who wants to heal—not just cope—and who believes, even faintly, that life can feel lighter, more connected, and more whole.

I work with adults who are ready to better understand themselves, heal from difficult experiences, and create meaningful change in their lives. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or frustrated by patterns they understand intellectually but have difficulty changing.
Together, we work to understand what is happening beneath the surface—not just manage symptoms. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can slow down, gain insight, process difficult experiences, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

Brainspotting Therapists
How does brainspotting work?
Brainspotting works by using eye positioning to identify and process traumatic memories so that a client is better able to move forward and live with less fear. The theory behind brainspotting is that by identifying where a person looks when thinking of traumatic memories, a therapist will be able to guide them to focus on that spot and work with the client to get them out of the “fight, flight, freeze” response associated with the traumatic memory.
Is brainspotting an evidence-based therapy?
Brainspotting is a theory-based alternative therapy. It is one of the newest forms of treatment, so very little research has been completed that examines the mechanism by which it works. The theory behind brainspotting is that eye position can be linked to areas of the brain that store and process memory.
How effective is brainspotting?
Because it is such a new treatment, the effectiveness of brainspotting cannot be quantified. Some people have found it to be effective on its own, or in conjunction with other types of therapy. It is considered an alternative therapy, and it is popular with people for whom more traditional therapies have proven ineffective.
How long does brainspotting take to work?
A typical brainspotting session will last between 60 to 90 minutes. There is no required number of sessions needed to complete brainspotting therapy, but in many cases it is delivered over the course of about six sessions. Clients are encouraged to rate their level of distress prior to a session and again following a session, and to track progress.
