Therapists in Garland, UT

My passion is helping children, teens and young adults successfully navigate life challenges & learn to thrive. For me, there is nothing more rewarding than embarking on a journey of self-discovery & empowerment alongside my clients. My therapy approach centers on creating a safe, empathetic, & non-judgmental space where clients can openly share their thoughts, emotions, and concerns. When you choose to work with me, you can expect a warm & welcoming environment where everyone's unique experiences are valued & understood. From the very first session, my aim is to establish a genuine connection, built upon trust and mutual respect.

Reality is, feelings of anxiety, pain, sadness, and uncertainty surface for many individuals. Trauma, loss, transitions, relationships, and much more could be bringing these to the surface. Reaching out for help is your first step, and one that I admire greatly. Working along side animals in my office, you will find compassion, love, and understanding. My goal is to help you build skills that allow you to relate more authentically to the world around you. We will spend time reflecting and opening understanding around how you are in relationship to the world, other, and your self. I want to help you feel better, that starts with you.

I believe that each person possesses the resources to change before coming to therapy. My job is to guide you in accessing your own personal resources for change while introducing skills you desire to learn. Some of the issues I specialize in are birth trauma and perinatal struggles, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, chronic health conditions, disabilities and physical limitations, and eating disorders. Together, we can forge new roads or clear lost paths, so you can move toward your ideal self.

We ‌like‌ ‌to‌ ‌meet‌ ‌people‌ ‌where‌ ‌they‌ ‌are. ‌Trauma can sometimes leave us wondering‌ ‌“what‌ ‌is‌ ‌wrong‌ ‌with‌ me?“ We believe a better question is‌ ‌“what‌ ‌happened‌ ‌to‌ ‌you?” ‌In our practice, we view clients in that way. ‌Everyone‌ ‌has‌ ‌a‌ ‌story,‌ ‌a‌ ‌story‌ ‌that‌ ‌makes‌ ‌them‌ ‌unique. ‌Our interest is in understanding what the story is and how to use a‌ ‌story‌ ‌as‌ ‌a‌ ‌strength‌ ‌rather‌ ‌than‌ ‌a‌ ‌fault. ‌Even though it seems easier said than done, and it also takes time, we believe any client, from kids to adults, can get there with patience and understanding. Play therapy helps that healing process.

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “How did I get here?” Sometimes life feels hard, overwhelming, and chaotic. Maybe you just don’t know where to start or you feel lost. Maybe you’re embarrassed that you can’t handle things on your own or like you don’t know who to ask for help. Perhaps you're going through a rough patch or you're looking to improve your relationships with friends, family, or partner. Or, maybe your child is struggling with anger, sadness, or anxiety.

I am very passionate about the experiences of people. I am a firm believer that people can overcome difficulties and challenges, but may need some assistance. People are a passion of mine. Each person is unique and therefore needs a unique perspective on their specific situation and experiences. Each person I work with is unique to me and the centered focus will be on that person's needs and how they personally can reach their goals.

I specialize in Trauma, Couples Counseling, and Self Worth. My therapy style is intuitive and grounded in a gentle approach using Internal Family Systems (IFS). I don’t just want to help you by listening, but by helping you get curious about your thoughts, emotions, body sensations and limiting beliefs. In couples work, the quality of our relationships with other people is very dependent on the relationship with our own self.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges? Are you struggling to make sense of your thoughts and feelings? Are you ready to cultivate a deeper sense of self-compassion, self-awareness, and self-acceptance? My goal as a therapist is to create a safe and empathetic space where individuals can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. My approach is deeply rooted in humanizing each person who walks through my door, seeing them not as a diagnosis or a label, but as unique individuals with their own stories, struggles, and strengths.

My therapeutic approach is to help you start where you’re at and help you develop the skill sets you desire to create a meaningful life. I work with children, teens and adults. Working together in a safe environment, free of judgment or bias creates an opportunity for openness and the ability to create the clients desired change.
