In Person Therapists in Vernal, UT

You have a desire to make changes and have gone as far as you can on your own. Your hard work and dedication is admirable. Maybe you have past experiences that continue to influence the present despite your effort to separate them. Low mood or high anxiety may be holding you back from living authentically. Maybe you have invested in others and it’s time to turn the focus towards yourself, you are ready to fully invest time and energy to your growth and healing.

Sometimes life throws us for a loop–we get into an unexpected situation, a loved one passes away, our relationships are fraught with contention–and we feel stuck. When this happens, you don’t have to figure everything out alone. Loneliness and isolation make things worse. When clients work collaboratively with me, I help them find hope, move elegantly through life’s obstacles, and rekindle their passions. I work with a variety of presenting problems, including anxiety, depression, couple and family issues, step-family issues, and parent-child relational issues.

I believe my role on this journey is to help you understand yourself better, provide support when times are hard, and help you figure out ways to make change by focusing on areas within your locus of control. Over the years I have worked with many children, individuals, and families from all walks of life; helping individuals and families along their journey of self-discovery and healing. I believe that individuals and families know themselves best and my role is to help increase self-confidence and self-awareness so they can figure out what is best for each individual and for families and their family systems.

I am located in Helper, Utah and provide services across Utah and Colorado through telehealth. I use several modalities including EMDR, ego state approaches, emotional freedom technique, breathwork, and connecting the mind and body. Since I believe individuals are the experts of their own narratives, I help individuals connect to a deeper level of themselves to access the infinite wisdom that is carried within. Clients are able to not only able to reduce and gain mastery of their symptoms, they also shift long-held negative perceptions and walk away knowing and loving themselves at a deeper level.
