Deseret Mutual Benefit Advisers Therapists in Syracuse, UT
My ideal client is someone who feels motivated to find empowerment over their own life. My ideal client is someone who wants to use therapy as a space to explore, express, process, brainstorm, feel, connect, and create. Therapy is a resource to them to assist in the ongoing challenges that arise as a result of being human. They want a therapist who will both support them and challenge them. They may have a background of traumatic experiences, they may have an official or unofficial diagnosis of neurodivergence, or they may be someone who simply feels like we would be a good therapist/client match.

I am in network with most Select Health commercial plans, PEHP, DMBA and BCBS and some U of U plans.
Do you feel like you’re your own worst enemy?
Maybe you procrastinate, overthink, or numb out—even when you know it keeps you from the relationships, opportunities, or peace of mind you want. Or maybe you push yourself to impossible standards, chasing perfection while quietly abandoning your own needs. On the outside you look capable and put-together, but inside you feel stuck in cycles of self-sabotage, self-abandonment, and perfectionism. You may wonder: Why can’t I just get it together? What happened to the version of me I thought I’d be by now?

Hi, I’m Chris. My path to becoming a therapist wasn’t traditional. I earned my bachelor’s degree in music education from Utah State University and taught junior high music for three years before becoming a school counselor, where I worked with students from kindergarten through 9th grade for five years. These experiences showed me the value of having someone to talk to. I pursued a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy because I’m passionate about helping people grow and heal in their relationships.

I am in-network for Regence BCBS, PEHP, Select, Optum, United Healthcare, DMBA, EMI, Cigna, Quest Behavioral Health, UMR, Oscar, and Oxford health plans, but I can also provide a superbill for my out-of-network clients.
If you've been in a slump, need answers, or your life feels out of control, speaking to a therapist may be just the thing to get you through this time of your life. Therapists are not alike. We bring with us our personalities and skill sets, and that's ok! Maybe you've never been to a therapist. Maybe you've been to several. My focus is on your goals (so, start thinking about what you want out of therapy). I use a very cerebral approach to your healing. We will identify, dissect, and reformulate the way you see the world around you in a loving and compassionate environment. If you're ready for change, then I'm your gal.

Do you find yourself stuck in a cycle of using substances to cope with overwhelming emotions, stress, or trauma—only to feel worse afterward? Maybe you’ve tried to stop or cut back, but keep returning to old patterns. Do you feel shame, isolation, or frustration, wondering if lasting change is even possible?

You don’t have to have it all figured out to start therapy. I work with people who feel ready for something different, even if they’re not sure what that looks like yet. My clients often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves and others. They want to feel grounded, confident, and more at peace in their relationships and daily life. Together, we create space to untangle old patterns, process emotions, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

Do you ever wonder why you feel the way you do, or wish someone could help you untangle it all? I'm here to walk alongside you. This is a safe space to explore your experiences and discover your path forward, free from judgment.

Do you feel like you're carrying your load alone? I believe one of the most powerful tools for building change in our lives is connection built on collaborative conversation and through working together.
As a therapist, I believe therapy works best when it is built around you. I will your lead and offer support, clinical insight, and practical skills as they align with your needs and progress. I value making therapy approachable and accessible—this means there is room for laughter and lightheartedness, but never at the expense of the crucial space needed to sit with life's harder, more complex moments.

Trauma may often leave us feeling disconnected—from ourselves, and the inner wisdom that guides us. While I believe in our innate ability to heal, life experiences can sometimes cloud that connection. My passion is working with those who have experienced trauma, helping them rediscover self-trust, reconnect with lost parts of themselves, and move toward healing with greater awareness, empathy, and compassion. It’s my mission to guide you on this journey with care, helping you reclaim a sense of wholeness and connection.

I believe that good therapy can provide a renewed sense of hope and purpose in today’s world and I am passionate about helping people make positive, meaningful changes in their lives. I provide a safe and empowering space as I listen to your story and collaborate with you to move towards improved self-love, acceptance, healing, contentment, and purposeful living. I utilize Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Inner Child connection, and other modalities to help you heal from trauma and/or various limiting, negative core beliefs about self.

I dedicate my practice to working with individuals and couples navigating difficulties in their relationships, as well as those coping with family of origin dysfunction, anxiety, perfectionism, poor body image, depression, overwhelm and perinatal mental health. As a therapist, my mission is to support clients in creating more peace and joy in their lives. I help clients by helping them better understand and improve how they show up in their lives and relationships. This can help you learn how to thrive, rather than just get by, regardless of the challenges you face.

I am a dedicated social worker with a rich history of helping others, spanning from adolescent psychiatric support to crisis intervention. I specialize in LGBTQ issues, especially those related to religion and spirituality. I am passionate about helping people find their paths to healing, growth, and self-acceptance. I enjoy assisting others in excelling in life and relationships.

I believe every woman, man and child has infinite value and worth. Whether we have experienced feelings of worthlessness because of our own actions or because of the actions of others, developing self-love is the pathway toward true joy. When we experience trauma, we develop false ideas about ourselves and the world that keep us in a place of fear, anger, and hopelessness. We make decisions based on those beliefs that cause ourselves and others despair. When we learn to love ourselves completely, we can find true healing within ourselves and the world in a deeply powerful way.
