Therapists Beginning With A in Utah
Have you ever wondered what it takes to create REAL long-lasting change? In today's information world, many of us know "what" we need to do, but few of us know "how" to implement and stick with it. The clients I work with are motivated to change so they can have a greater impact but have trouble executing consistently. These could be health-related habits like building a new workout routine, work-related tasks like avoiding distraction to increase productivity or catching destructive negative emotions. I'll teach you scientifically proven tactics to implement permanent change, overcome emotional barriers, and hold you accountable.

Not accepting new clients
Note: I am not currently accepting new clients. I admire your courage in taking the first step in your personal healing journey. I understand that making the initial call, and attending the first therapy session, can be a frightening prospect. My primary objective is that you leave your first session feeling understood, accepted and validated.

Have you found yourself dealing with depression, anxiety, or the complexities of traumatic experiences? Do you desire fulfillment and peace in your life but find yourself stuck in old limiting relationship and belief patterns no matter how hard you try to break free? Through a sincere therapeutic alliance, we will utilize the tools of Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, and other trauma-informed modalities to address deeper issues that contribute to the symptoms of mental health and heal them at their root.

Are you looking for a sex therapist to help you navigate issues like sexual frequency, sexual shame, relational communication, infidelity, and sexual disorders (i.e., erectile dysfunction, painful intercourse, anorgasmia, low sex drive/arousal, out of control sexual behaviors)? I work with individuals, couples, people navigating non-monogamy, and other sexual minorities who often feel there are things about sex and their sexuality that they should know but haven't been able to ask or explore. It is important to me to create a safe space for you to learn the information that will enhance your sex life and relationship.

Pain from trauma does not need to rule your life, nor does trauma always come from a catastrophic event. Often my clients come to me in pain, feeling lost and suffering with symptoms of anxiety and depression. During therapy, I often hear, “I finally have space in my head to think and energy to do the things I want to do.” Therapy is at its best when you are listened to in a deeper way. I have been told by clients that they feel I “make room” for them with a kind and personal approach. Imagine yourself feeling lighter, feeling joy, and having more energy. It is possible.

Trauma can encompass many different experiences that can continue to affect us long after they are over. Anxiety, depression, panic attacks, dissociation, and many other symptoms can accompany experiences of trauma. These symptoms can take their toll on our ability to function in our lives and in our connections with others. It can be difficult to walk this path alone.

I believe that we are all doing the best we can to find connection and peace. Despite our best efforts, many of us can still reach points where we feel stuck. We may even start to believe that there is no way forward in a tricky relationship or getting through a personal struggle. I believe that therapy is one of the most powerful tools for getting “unstuck”, healing, and creating the relationships we want with ourselves and others.

I’ve always had a desire to help people. I love meeting people and hearing their stories, victories, and failures. When my family went through a hard time growing up, we sought out a therapist. I saw first-hand how valuable it was to have an outsider’s perspective to help learn new strategies of coping. We all have experiences that leave us needing extra help to get through. Between my excellent education and varied experience as a therapist I have the tools to help you navigate the rough patch you may be experiencing.

I believe that we could heal the world if we would only first seek to heal ourselves. Some of the most life changing moments come when we decide to sit with our discomfort and ride that wave to healing. Though the pain and anguish can make these moments feel unconquerable, taking the steps toward your own healing allows these obstacles to become a period of transformation, growth, or liberation. Together we can explore your journey and the answers that you hold within.

My hope is to help. Whether you are dealing with challenges as an individual, a couple, or a family, we will work together in creating the changes you seek. You may have a specific goal in mind, perhaps even a fairly good idea of how to get there, but maybe not - maybe you're only aware of what you don't want and what's not working. That in and of itself is a perfectly acceptable place to start!

Many people are finding that they are facing challenges that were unexpected. For many of us, continuing on without changing is likely to result in developing meaningless habits, alcohol/substance abuse, ignoring work/relationships, or engaging in self-sabotaging behaviors. Often times there are internal barriers, patterns, or ways of thinking that prevent us from making the changes in our lives. Through understanding our defenses and patterns of behavior, I believe therapy can help to assist in uncovering hope, insight, and develop new skills so you may move forward with passion and purpose.

As human beings, we all have an innate desire to give and receive love, as well as to feel a sense of belonging. When these basic needs are not met, we can experience a feeling of being lost and disconnected from the world around us. However, we have the power to overcome these challenges. By acknowledging that we are not alone in our struggles and by taking conscious steps towards leading an authentic and fulfilling life, we can restore our sense of purpose and inner peace. No matter how difficult our circumstances may seem, there is always hope for a brighter tomorrow.

I believe that within each individual lies the answers they are searching for and that therapy provides the “sounding board” to find those answers. In my 20 yrs as a therapist providing mental health and addiction counseling, I have found success in helping my clients discover their true potential and find inner peace amidst uncertainty and conflict; and the key ingredient to my success is recognizing each individuals potential for healing, developing a “connection”, and using an empathic, client-centered approach.
