Cottonwood Heights, UT 84093
Are you experiencing stress, loneliness or emotional pain related to a major life change, a relationship crisis, or a struggle with anxiety or depression? I have over 16 years of experience working with people wrestling with these kinds of issues. I find great satisfaction in helping people navigate concerns related to spiritual questioning and transition. It is an honor to work with individuals healing from trauma or who are seeking relief from depression or anxiety. I find my work with couples who are having difficulty communicating, resolving conflict or repairing after betrayal very meaningful.

Sandy, UT 84070
Clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, boundary or relationship issues, or those in recovery will find Best Practice Counseling to be a safe, gentle landing place to wade through these issues and find solutions together.
Clients who come in ready to work on themselves are leaps and bounds ahead of clients who might be dragging their feet in coming to therapy. If you are ready to change and personally motivated, your progress will be quick and you will get a lot out of the therapeutic process. Brief, solution focused therapy is often the most helpful depending on the client, but my intention is always to start where each individual client is at and work to assist them in their goals and desires for change based on their own strengths.

Excessive worry and OCD don't have to control your life any longer.
You've started to notice your child seeking constant reassurance or engaging in repetitive behaviors, or perhaps you've noticed them avoiding social events or expressing excessive worry. Maybe you've noticed your child struggling after going through a difficult event and they are now struggling with nightmares, mood swings, and seem constantly on edge. As a parent, you're feeling lost, overwhelmed, and unsure how to help. Therapy can be the opportunity for you and your child to better understand these struggles and develop effective skills and long lasting solutions.

Whether you are dealing with OCD, anxiety, ADHD, hair pulling/ skin picking: You can do this!.
So many of us are trapped by our own fears, insecurities, and doubts.

You might feel overwhelming sadness, fear in social interactions, or constant anxiety from intrusive thoughts. You may even be avoiding social interactions, struggling at work, having difficulty in personal relationships, or a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. These fears might be stealing your laughter, freedom, and connection with others. In therapy I can help you or your child navigate these complex experiences.

Has it been a while since you've felt like yourself? Maybe you've been irritable, overwhelmed, depressed, tired, or anxious. Let's work together to deepen your capacity for true self-compassion, lasting growth, and help you to create meaningful, fulfilling relationships in every phase of life. As Dr. Brené Brown reminds us, we are wired for connection! When we are disconnected from ourselves, it can make connecting with others difficult and unsustainable. I am honored to support my clients as they explore, identify, and courageously express their desires from an increasingly secure place which is grounded in their values.

I personally know what it is like to struggle and how hard it can be to reach out for support. Frequently, we can find ourselves merely enduring our circumstances. Therapy can be seen as a catalyst for us to gain insight into the aspects of our lives that we may be overlooking. We often create subconscious strategies to manage our pain, anxiety, and trauma. Sometimes those strategies are helpful. Sometimes less so. Realizing that some of our strategies aren't as helpful can be the catalyst to pursuing therapy. I hope to help in creating something new and in helping us to better understand you and why you do the things you do.

Reaching out for help is uncomfortable! Coming to therapy takes a lot of courage. The world feels heavy and hard right now. Our relationships are suffering leaving us feeling anxious, lonely, or depressed. You may feel like no matter how hard you try, you just can't seem to communicate with your partner or family members. Maybe discussions turn into arguments that never seem to get resolved, leaving you both feeling hurt and alone. Perhaps you or your loved one are dealing with a faith transition and you feel lost and confused. It's hard to love so much and yet feel so distant and disconnected!

As a Certified Synergetic Play Therapist (SPT), I am passionate about working with all ages, but spend most of my time working with children, adolescents, and families on a wide range of issues including: trauma/PTSD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, sibling conflict, self-harm, struggles unique to neurodivergent individuals, and identity/self esteem issues.
There is nothing more powerful than trusting yourself, believing that you can handle the bumps and valleys of life. I believe every single one of us has this resilience inside of us and sometimes we just need some gentleness, play, and connection in our mind and body to get back there. I will sit, stand, and play next to you in these hard feelings and I will do my best to bring authenticity and courage to the room together as you learn to trust and love yourself wholeheartedly.

Anxiety Therapists
What are the most common treatments for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
