I'm passionate about helping people connect emotionally and find happiness through healthy relationships. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work to create a safe atmosphere where clients can heal from past injuries and develop tools to be successful in their life.

Hi, I'm Eileen! I'm a bi-cultural/bilingual therapist and dance artist based in SLC, UT. I've spent my career working with teens, adults, and families from many diverse backgrounds. The cornerstone of my small private practice is to support those moving through depression, anxiety, trauma, cultural based identity experiences, and life transitions. My personal and professional experience has lead me to develop an approach to healing that emphasizes the connection between the mind and the body. My hope is to maintain an equitable and inclusive practice by focusing on the strengths & interests of each unique individual I work with.

Do you feel like trauma is stuck in your body? Are you constantly in a state of hypervigilance, freeze or feeling numbed out all the time? Do you wish you could have more meaningful connection with the important people in your life (including yourself)? Talk therapy has helped you up to a point but now that you understand your trauma, you are ready to release it from your body and move forward with your life.

My approach to therapy is empathic, collaborative, and unique to each individual's own needs. I believe the most important component of effective counseling is a genuine relational connection. I strive to create a therapeutic environment in which clients feel comfortable, respected, supported, and understood so that they may actively explore personal issues and experiment with new ways of thinking and behaving. Too often we spend our lives living either in the past or in the future, and consequently struggling with feelings of depression or anxiety.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, and challenging life transitions. Common experiences include intrusive or ruminative thoughts; impulsive or compulsive behaviors that seem hard to control; challenging relationships; or simply feeling like day-to-day life isn't aligning with the life you envisioned. I appreciate the complexity and uniqueness of people and strive to utilize a non-judgmental approach. My style is open and easy going. Since 2011, I have been working with individuals, couples, and families dealing with a range of struggles. My approach is collaborative with a background in DBT, CBT, and Mindfulness.

I'm happy to partner with you wherever you are on your journey. Although change is a natural part of our lives, it's still often tough, especially if you struggle with depression or anxiety - or both. Whether you're facing transition within your professional life, from college into career, making your way towards graduation, or are experiencing challenges within your relationship, you don't have to do it alone.

Have you struggled with feeling good about yourself? How does your perception of yourself impact your life? Each of us have lived experiences that leave imprints on our lives sometimes impacting our ability to trust, and connect with ourselves and those around us. I aim to foster a space in therapy that invites room for curiosity, safety, and also bravery in order to encourage---growth, self-discovery and healing. I work with both young adults and adults who are experiencing never feeling enough, or have experienced: trauma, self-harming behaviors, eating disorders, body perception issues, perfectionism and negative self-perception.

I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression and other emotional difficulties that interfere with your daily life. Fears and worries, feeling unmotivated and distressed, all takes a toll on the ability to live the life that you want. Sometimes it is difficult to pinpoint the reason why you feel disconnected or how to best problem-solve and get back on track.

I am dedicated to helping individuals who struggle with addiction and co-occurring mental illness receive the help needed to recover and live happy, fulfilling lives. With over 60 years' combined experience working in the field of recovery, I and my Treatment Team offer exceptional care at an affordable price. 7th Street offers 9 consecutive months of Outpatient Program following Residential care. During that time, clients may live in our Sober Living facilities, with Salt Lake County rent support, based on individual eligibility. We help our clients form a strong lifetime sober support network of like-minded individuals.

In 30+ years as a couples therapist, I've helped many couples work through problems to create the kind of partnership they truly want. Most couples tell me that they want to feel connected with their partner again; to stop the 'same old arguments' from cycling over and over; to stop living like roommates; to end the painful silences; to feel heard and understood; and to feel hopeful, and happy again.

Psychotherapy is a way to learn more about ourselves, find options for change, and develop skills for managing difficult situations and emotions. While the "story" of pain is important, I offer clients the opportunity to better understand the roots of distress, ways in which bodies hold emotional pain, and clear options for enhancing natural resilience. For over a decade, I have helped clients manage anxiety and depression and recover from addiction and trauma. I work with LGBT clients around trauma and discrimination. With training in EMDR, Gestalt Therapy, and CBT, I offer a variety of therapies based on individual need.

I take a direct approach to treatment. Although eclectic in style, I am most closely attached to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). We will focus on the thought processes and behavioral responses that are contributing to the life dissatisfaction you are experiencing. I am solution-focused. The atmosphere will be empathetic, but our goal will be to effect change in your life. We may discuss your childhood, family relationships, or specific losses and grievances, only to the extent necessary to understand what is happening now.

At some point, everyone faces difficulty that can impact quality of life. I offer a safe and comfortable environment to explore and address issues which are keeping you from having the life you want. I believe that you have the ability to heal and negotiate these obstacles in a way that brings fulfillment to your life. I offer a collaborative approach to uncovering resources and discovering resolution with compassion and understanding. I have experience working with adults, and adolescents and have advanced training in EMDR. Licensed in Colorado and Utah.

I provide therapy to individuals, families, and groups. I have treated a broad range of diagnoses and ages. My diverse experience allows me to work successfully with a large array of clients. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed by life, family, a specific event, or have struggled to feel your best for a long time, we can work together to increase control, confidence, and peace. Currently I see clients virtually and will open up in person appointments in Jackson, WY only as needed.

As a Licensed Clinical Therapist I have worked with a wide clientele base; teenagers, adults, and families, many whom are from diverse ethnic backgrounds. My experience has reiterated to me time and again the uniqueness and great worth of each individual as well as the progressive capability innate within us all. As such my approach is to work along side each client, not as a director but in many ways a visitor and fellow journeyman on the path of life where I may be able to offer some clarity and illuminate alternative paths during disruptive times in their lives.

My practice is named En Route because in my experience all of us are on some form of journey. Sometimes our journeys are smooth, other times they're complicated and maybe frightening. Very few people create and sustain change all alone. Community is essential and it can be fun. There are so many directions to head and goals to accomplish on our journeys; it is my honor and privilege to join people and groups on their paths. Turns out a lot of us learn best by doing. Horses help us make real time change and offer instant feedback. It doesn't hurt that horses have much in common with people and act as great relationship role models.

As a result of my own personal and professional exploration over the last 40+ years, I work most effectively with individuals who have not succeeded in establishing and sustaining nourishing, satisfying, intimate, committed, relationships in their lives. At this stage of my career, I am interested in working with individuals or couples who want to enhance their capacity for meaningful, intimate relationships.

I am a strong advocate for social justice and mental health awareness and believe in the inherent worth of every person. I am passionate about helping others alleviate personal suffering and combatting pervasive systemic oppression that perpetuates suffering. My approach to therapy is person-centered, solution focused, trauma-informed, empowerment- and strengths-based. I integrate elements of humanistic, interpersonal, EMDR, and cognitive behavioral modalities.

Are you worried about your teen? Are they acting withdrawn or angry? Are their grades dropping? Are they excluded from their peer group or hanging out with peers that concern you? I will help you achieve your goal of restoring happiness and inspiration to your child's life. If your teen needs support with recovery from prolonged sadness, constant worrying, low self-esteem, drug abuse, sexual assault, self injury or family conflict, counseling can help.
