The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Therapists in Farmington, UT

I believe in a client-centered and client-directed approach in working with individuals, couples, and families. Anxiety, depresion, grief and loss, trauma, marriage and relationship issues, parenting issues, and adoption issues can all be barriers to living a fulfilling life. My role is to help you overcome those barriers blocking your progress, interfering with relationships, and holding you back. I have worked with families and children via the child welfare system - focusing on abuse, neglect, behavioral, and parenting issues for nearly 30 years - and began seeing clients in private practice more than 5 years ago.

I have worked in the Mental and Behavioral health field more than 7 years, serving in several settings including, schools, shelters, and medical offices. I have extensive experience working with children and their families to address their mental and behavioral health concerns. I like to joke that the scope of children's needs that I've worked with range from Major Depressive Disorders, to toilet training, and everything in between! I believe that every family is capable of reaching their goals for health and happiness and I am eager to help each family achieve this.

Currently accepting new clients. I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. I have just left the teaching profession where I was a teacher at a school that specializes in helping students who are neurodivergent become their best selves. While working with this population I found a passion for helping those that might need extra help navigating strong and confusing emotions, are neurodivergent, have disabilities of any kind and their families with their mental health journey. This could include trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues and other issues that can impact a person’s mental and emotional health.

I'm not the one looking down from the expert pedestal to instruct you in living a better life. Instead, you'll find someone to walk alongside you as a trusted voice in your life's journey. I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you yearn for while actually enjoying the growth process as much as possible. I know asking for help or calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I will be a safe, shame free, and welcoming support from the start. I hope you will take the time to call and see how I can help.

I believe that, as people, we are resilient and have an innate ability to weather life's storms. I also believe that we weather those storms better when we are equipped with tools, strategies, and support from others. I use a myriad of evidence-based approaches to tailor treatment to the unique needs of each client. I enjoy helping individuals to draw upon and discover their own strengths and abilities as they overcome challenges, and become stronger in the process. I have experience working with adults, adolescents, and children (ages 5 and older) in residential treatment centers, day treatment programs, and outpatient settings.

Now is your time. Depression, anxiety, anger, frustration, hurt, loneliness, etc. When emotional pain comes, there is help. For the past twenty years I have helped people understand and move through their emotional pain. Sometimes it's helping to cope with this pain in order to move through it, but often it's becoming free from it so you can live life with happiness, not survival. I love people and it is the joy of my life working with people wherever they are in their journey.

Feeling trapped, unable to navigate your daily life? Are your relationships and confidence suffering? Post-traumatic events can transform even minor decisions into daunting challenges. Clients I assist grapple with despair, anxiety, and loneliness, yearning for a life liberated from these struggles. Amidst it all, happiness may seem unattainable. Yet, resisting only prolongs the struggle. To embrace the life we desire, we must first confront and address our trauma, paving the way for genuine healing and the pursuit of a fulfilling life. I integrate IFS and parts work into helping my clients find hope and healing.

I have extensive experience working with children, families, and adults who have a history of trauma. Many people find conflict with themselves and others and struggle to manage it on their own. I find meaning in my work by helping all people feel valued and worthy independent of their life circumstances. I utilize a strengths-based approach that empowers the people I work with the see their own internal resources and follow their intuition. I stay critically conscious of people’s unique needs and diverse backgrounds. My approach includes perspective of curiosity and open-mindedness. I also conduct Hardship Immigration Evaluations.

We can’t predict all of the obstacles we will face in life, but we can be prepared with a toolbox of effective and practical skills. I believe in empowering individuals with the skills and mindset they need to face life’s challenges with confidence. You deserve to feel confident and empowered in your own life, instead of feeling like life is taking control of you. You have the ability to make lasting change! I value working together as a team to identify the areas you want to improve and help you learn and employ the skills necessary to see change.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years experience as a counselor. I specialize in helping women. Specifically, I provide counseling for women who are seeking to overcome trauma, anxiety, and depression. I also provide counseling and emotional support to women on the motherhood journey. I believe deeply in the importance of finding a healthy balance between lovingly caring for our children and for ourselves.

As humans, we are hard-wired for connection. Relationships shape beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world around us. These core beliefs influence our inner world (thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations) and our interactions with others.

I've seen how when one person is struggling in a family, everyone can feel it. I use relationships and effective communication to help people express their feelings and better their connections to find peace and happiness as they learn to navigate their emotions and hardships in life. Healing can happen, and it often comes through finding unity with others and within.

Do you have a teen or adolescent who feels like life's challenges are too heavy to carry on their own? Are you seeking to find support for your child struggling with OCD or ADHD? I believe that with the right tools, everyone can be happy and confident in their mind AND body. Clients I work with are seeking emotional support, healing, and self-discovery. Together, we can create a safe, empowering place where your teen can confront your anxieties, fears, insecurities, trauma, and more. How they feel right now does not have to be their whole story.
