Life experience paired with my education allows me to relate and feel deeply as I connect with my clients, especially through the difficult and dark moments we all find ourselves in. I believe the smallest positive steps forward can change our life trajectories in a meaningful way. I have always been passionate about relationships of all kinds, especially marriage and parent-child relationships. I focus my work with clients struggling with relationship difficulties, anxiety, OCD and depression.

If you find yourself struggling with the same issues over and over in your parenting, in your marriage, in your work and social life; if your child is continually frustrated, in trouble or alone at school, or has sustained a mTBI or TBI; if you see your parent or grand-parent having difficulties with expressing themselves, remembering things about their loved ones, their activities or other changes in their abilities, a neuropsychological evaluation may be exactly what you need. An evaluation gives a clear picture of what your cognitive functioning is like, and allows for specific and tailored treatment recommendations.

Life is beautiful and we are capable of exploring all aspects of it: the good and the difficult. Both things are necessary to become a strong and better "us"! Though there is so much good, life also comes with unanticipated 'rocks in our backpack'. This can leave us confused, hurt, and feeling displaced. Effective therapy is about several factors: experience, client healing, a clear diagnosis, concise and appropriate goals, and the tools needed to effectively navigate difficulty along the journey of life. We love what we do and we are good at it! Visit us at GOLDWELLNESS.COM

My goal is to help LGBTQ+ individuals and their families thrive. As a queer man who grew up in Utah, I often help clients build and maintain healthy relationships, work through depression, stress, or anxiety, navigate relationships with less accepting family or friends, deal with difficulties surrounding coming out, overcome sexual challenges, and manage shame, discrimination and stigma. I regularly write letters of support for trans and nonbinary individuals looking for hormones or surgeries. I see adolescents, adults, couples, and families in person in Salt Lake (Kaysville) or Logan as well as online throughout the United States.

Let's have a cup of tea, get comfy, and have a chat. Therapy can be intimidating, but it can also be a treat. I want to provide a space that is free of judgement and foucses on client empowerment. A place where self love and compassion can thrive. A place where you can be yourself or where you can find yourself. If you're wanting support, compassion, and a bit of a push towards your goals, you've come to the right place!

Human connection is a fundamental aspect of well-being. Your ability to connect within relationships can be hindered for multiple reasons which can affect your well-being, and create confusion, anxiety, and depression. You may be limited by how you are seeing a situation. One of the greatest benefits of connection to your own internal world and connection to others is the safety it can create to explore and enjoy life. I specialize in healing relationships and unblocking areas that contribute to disconnect within oneself and within your relationships using Family Systems Theory, CBT, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and mindfulness.

Have you been avoiding, ignoring, suppressing or dreading that internal call for help? Has it been more difficult, and tiring to meet the expectations the environment around you calls for?

Therapy is: Creating desired changes which improve our lives. My goal is to help identify the obstacles which are impeding your happiness and assist you in making changes that will bring a greater level of joy and fulfillment to your life.
People enjoy my warm, easy going, supportive nature as they work through life's struggles. Clients progress as they overcome fears, anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, addictions, relationship problems, old/new emotional wounds.
Success in treatment comes as the barriers to my client's "desired life" fall, one by one, and they become independently prepared for new functioning in life.

When you have experienced overwhelming life challenges, and feel stuck, there is still hope. You are bigger than your circumstances. Therapy is a place to create healthy thoughts, beliefs, habits, and relationships. Therapy is instilling confidence, empowering, creating resilience, and marking the changes. Therapy is a place to gain insight, change patterns of behaviors, and learn skills to create a life you love. I have a calming compassionate presence. I am easy to talk to, and I have a curiosity for others.

As a therapist, I recognize that every journey is unique and important. I have learned that everyone has a story that deserves to be told. Currently I work with people from all walks of life helping them own their story, recover from past trauma and move toward a bright future. I provide tools necessary to cope with what life brings, recover from their past stories, and create a new future where they are able to thrive. I previously worked as a trained advocate in domestic violence and sexual assault. While in graduate school, I worked with vulnerable youth in a high school setting and find joy in working with adolescents.

Things have felt "off" for a while. While part of you wants to withdraw, the other part wants to yell. None of this was part of the plan. The excitement, laughter, and connection you once felt are replaced with the complications and stress of life. It seems like any attempt to make changes just prove to make things worse. Any decision feels like the wrong decision. The fear, anxiety, disconnection, resentment, and frustration are overpowering. You're stuck; uncertain about what to do next, and deeply in need of guidance. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space, to be honest with yourself and your partner.

Because each person has value, valid experiences, and needs, therapy can become a healthy and safe space to continue that positive movement forward. All individuals can learn from one another and be better because of it; if we are willing to slow down and pay attention. We are all a success in progress, no matter where we are in life.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
