Marriage Counseling Therapists in Utah County, UT
Marriage and Family therapists are highly trained to improve relationships and sometimes will include family members in the healing process.
How can we have more peace, resiliency, and deeper connection in our relationships? How do we reduce anxiety, depression, harmful or addictive behaviors? We often wonder how or if it is even possible to change life-long patterns that have limited our potential and growth. Research indicates (as well as my personal and professional experience) two, very powerful approaches to change and healing that provide long-term results: the spiritual Recovery model and Emotionally-Focused therapy. Both approaches, coupled with an honest willingness to change, and an experienced therapist, hits the "bullseye" on the target for effective change!

I want to help people navigate trauma recovery, depression, anxiety, grief, loss, marital and relationship problems, spirituality, and life changes.
Life can get out of control pretty quick, and having somebody to help you sort through the good, the bad, and the weird can be the difference between a beautiful existence and an awful one. I’d love to be that helper for you. You can trust that no matter what you say or what terrible thing is happening in your life, I will treat you with kindness, respect, and care. You live a perfectly unique life that no one else has ever had, and I want to hear your story and work toward wellness together.

I am LGBTQ+ friendly and commonly work with clients experiencing faith crisis or transition, anxiety, depression, relationship or marriage dissatisfaction, and addiction.
I have experience working with young children, pre-teens, teens, young adults, couples, parents, and adults. Each phase of life has its own nuances, and I love to walk alongside my clients as they navigate the difficult and unexpected circumstances that can occur. As a parent myself, I am particularly passionate about empowering parents, addressing child-parent attachment, and treating child behavioral concerns. I have also been trained in EMDR and have experience working with both complex trauma and single incident traumas.

With a marriage that spans over 3 decades, I understand the ebb and flow of relationships and the important role that connection plays in our lives.
As a therapist, I take joy in helping individuals discover their own unique healing journeys, and in crafting their own solutions. I believe that satisfaction with one’s life is rooted firstly in connection with self, and then, with others. Whether you are navigating the complexities of singlehood, dating, marriage, stepfamilies, divorce, parenting, or faith transition, self-awareness and healing form the cornerstone of our responsibilities to ourselves.

I have developed several pragmatic models using empirically sound theories to help individuals with pornography addiction, depression or anxiety, marital distress.
No one seeks counseling just to seek counseling. People seek counseling to bring about change. At Family Transitions Counseling we don't just provide counseling. We provide tools for helping you to change: changing perspective; changing behaviors; changing how you think; changing your life. I work hard to empower clients who have trusted me with their care to find solutions to their problems by building their own strengths and by focusing on new ways to behave and think. We move forward towards an improved life rather than dwelling on problems and the past.

I also offer pre- marital counseling and believe every couple can greatly benefit from having a secure emotional foundation.

I have also lived in California , Arizona, Washington and I currently live in Provo Utah. I have worked with a wide number of different cultures and people of different beliefs. I adhere to a humanistic model of Psychotherapy in that no one person is the same and everyone deserves to be treated with empathy. I focus on each individual's potential and stress of growth and self-actualization.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults facing challenges with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, emotion regulation, marriage relationships, trauma, and PTSD.
I strongly believe in the facet of the human spirit which is indomitable. This quality traverses culture and ethnicity, and so often plays a major role in recovery. The concept of radical acceptance invites individuals to embrace a regret of the past and fear of the future as part of the human experience while discovering what they truly value as they achieve treatment goals working toward sustainable mental health. As individuals learn to accept the fear that accompanies risk, the journey towards healing is a remarkable one to witness and, for me, is the true payoff as a therapist.

In life, we often feel overwhelmed, depleted, and in need of support. Maybe it is a struggle with anxiety or depression, a negative belief, an addiction or perhaps you have been hit by a marital betrayal or loss of connection. No matter the cause, therapy can be a means to hope and healing. According to Dr. Peter Levine, “Trauma is perhaps the most avoided, ignored, belittled, denied, misunderstood, and untreated cause of human suffering”. He describes trauma as “anything that is too much or comes too fast” or is hard on your body physically or emotionally. I believe we all have the ability to heal, grow, and transform.

I enjoy working with relationships, and relational difficulty, because they affect every part of our lives! Family relationships, marital or dating relationships, friendship or professional relationships.
Life is messy. Relationships are messy. Taking care of your mental health is messy. Challenges and set-backs are messy. Living your faith and navigating your faith is messy. Pain, loss, anger, grief, betrayal, heartbreak, confusion, addiction, and disappointment are messy. Happiness and living a fulfilling life is also messy. I am no stranger to the mess that makes up our life's journey, and I believe that therapy can help us to navigate through and make sense of the mess. I also believe that when given the right tools and support, we can even turn the mess into something spectacular.

Marriage Counseling Therapists
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
