Therapists in American Fork, UT

I believe the power to heal and understand is within our reach, sometimes we just need a reminder of our potential. I have experience working with all ages from school age to adult. I believe in empowering others by helping them gain confidence in themselves through knowledge and skill building so they have the power and courage to conquer their challenges.

Each client who enters my office desires deeper personal connections, less stress and more hope.

We as people tend to become comfortable with behaviors that make us uncomfortable. As strange as it might sound, we are drawn to the easy and familiar instead of things that might be good for us.

Sometimes parts of our life can feel overwhelming and debilitating. It can be difficult to know who to turn to and what to do. I recognize how important it is to have someone to provide tools and techniques to reach a point of healing. My approach to therapeutic treatment is to work collaboratively with my clients. I have worked with adults, couples, college students, and teens with a range of experiences including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, marital or relationship issues, family relational concerns, grief support, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts. No matter what you may be battling, there is hope for healing.

I have worked with many adolescents, adults and families across the U.S. to create a more peaceful and content life for the last 7+ years. I have a particular interest in helping people work on their relationships with others (to include family members, friends, coworkers, significant others).

Therapy can be intimidating - you may be going through the hardest time of your life and struggling to know who you can talk to as you go through this process. Rest assured, you are not alone and help is available to and within you. Working together, I hope to bring back the parts of you that may feel a little lost but were once full of hope, joy, and peace. My therapeutic style is collaborative and tailored to each of my clients to meet their specific needs whether you are currently going through tribulations or dealing with the aftermath of a big life change.

Working with those feeling overwhelmed by perfectionism, grief, life changes, or a traumatic event is such important work. You might struggle with feeling tired and have an overwhelming sense of anxiety and/or depression. Those who have always felt strong and independent cannot understand why they are unable to do this one thing on their own - why they continue to feel so alone. Please know, it is totally okay to NOT be okay and that you don't need to go it alone.

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.

I approach treatment holistically and utilizes different therapeutic elements, techniques, and theories to tailor sessions to each client's individual needs. I am passionate about personality theory, emotional connection, functional medicine, and whole-body wellness. I enjoy incorporating these elements into my practice as much as possible.

As we navigate this human experience, it would seem that the only thing we can count on is change. Change can come in the form of major life adjustments such as employment, death and loss, deployments, school, being pushed outside of our comfort zone, as well as a variety of other circumstances that can turn our world upside down. What is important to remember is that you are not alone, and there is support to help you navigate through these challenging times. I am here to support you on this journey, and allow you to find solace and closure where needed.

As you may be struggling through feelings of doubt and hopelessness, we can help move you past these emotions into a brighter future. We understand that for some, taking the step to seek help through a professional takes courage and we want to be the one to help. It's our honor to have assisted many clients in a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, sadness, grief, betrayal, personal and relationship issues etc.

Do you have that constant voice in the back of your mind that tells you how awful you are, that relentless one that won't go away? Sometimes in life we feel overwhelmed, detached, and unable to take care of our needs. We take these feelings out on ourselves and others we love. It can be difficult to face things, even if we want to. Regardless of our best efforts, we find ourselves feeling defeated and fear we are failing. This might be because you have difficult things in your life that are preventing you from being able to make the changes you want. Seeking counseling is a courageous way to find healing and peace in your life.
