Therapists in Holladay, UT

Do current events have you frazzled? Ever felt like you were in a relationship with someone who wasn't available? Or are you trying to rediscover yourself after divorce, having a child go off to college, or death of a loved one? I help people with all kinds of situations. Whether you are experiencing problems in a relationship, grief or bereavement, depression, anxiety, or a spiritual crisis, there is hope. I am trained in EMDR, CBT, ACT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, psychodynamic theory, and routinely learn from experts in the field. Perhaps most important though, is that I listen.

We all need support at times to care for our internal and external worlds, and to dive into the depths of our often layered lived experiences. To care for ourselves in this way, we may need to pull up the weeds of adversities or traumas at a pace that feels right. I hope to offer a warm and compassionate atmosphere for you as you gently tend to the past while remaining rooted in the present. Through attention and intention in therapy, I believe that flowers of wisdom, curiosity, self-compassion, resilience, and hope can grow.

I am passionate about helping others. This passion led to years of study and becoming skilled in several effective forms of treatment. I enjoy working with people to create a shared vision and plan to achieve the changes they seek. I am committed to serving those I work with and to that end I believe in providing all of the information needed to make an informed decision about our approach. I endeavor to create an environment of safety and sincerity and to aid in developing increased self-acceptance and compassion.

Healing is real and possible. Suffering does not have to last. I help clients live authentically, find more peace, and connect more to self and others by increasing awareness and acceptance of emotions, increasing body discernment/somatic mindfulness, and enhancing the body/mind/spirit connection. Feeling better comes through learning to regulate the nervous system through the reprocessing of old trauma and healing one's attachment wounds, expressing emotions using expressive arts/music/movement/drumming/psychodrama/writing/etc., learning to re-frame negative thoughts, increasing shame resilience, and practicing self-compassion.

My role as a therapist is to create a space where you feel empowered to explore your thoughts and emotions, as well as find healing solutions to issues you may be facing. These issues may be depression, anxiety, a life change, or past trauma that you may now find yourself courageous enough to face. I have experience working with adults who live with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, maternal mental health, addiction, first responders, faith transitions, and gender transitions. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and sex positive.

I strongly believe that our life experiences shape our beliefs about ourselves, our relationships, and our world view. While we may not have a choice in some of these life experiences, we have the potential to meet these challenges head on and overcome them. I believe in the power of recognizing our own self worth and strength and how utilizing this power can help us to make positive and meaningful changes in our lives. I believe in the resiliency of the human spirit and using that to help clients find meaning and connection.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience working in various settings. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, couples, and complex family systems.

I truly believe everyone can find happiness in their lives through vulnerability and connection. I strive to create a safe space where you can tell me anything without fear of shame or judgement. I am here to listen so you can feel seen and heard.

V Frankl: “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” My passion is helping disrupt the habitual autopilot of life in order to gain a sense of resiliency, purpose, and vitality. When experiencing burnout, acute/chronic stress, trauma, and/or chronic pain I work with you to restore balance in your life by processing stressors, trauma/triggers, and building in resources to increase resilience in the face of these barriers. This is achieved by working as a team: You are the expert of you and I bring the expertise of psychology.

We provide a peaceful and supportive environment to explore past traumas, discuss current concerns, and plan for a more fulfilling future.

I enjoy working with anyone who is genuine, and has an honest desire to learn about themselves, and the courage to begin to make small changes. I fully appreciate clients who are teachable, and who have open minds to understand new concepts. Not all clients are able to identify their goals in the beginning of therapy. This is some thing I enjoy working with clients to determine what changes will create the most positive impact in their lives, or in the challenges they are facing I approach clients with a person centered orientation, and a strength-based approach.
