Pacific Islander Therapists in Kane County, UT

I am passionate about providing quality mental health treatment to individuals, couples, and families using a trauma informed approach. I have found in my clinical experience that many sources of wounding, disconnect, and suffering in relationships are connected to attachment injuries and trauma. Such experiences can leave us feeling anxious, confused, angry, stuck, and isolated. My belief is that therapy is a an important tool to regaining as well as reclaiming meaning and purpose in our lives.

Experiencing anxiety, depression or other emotional pain? Are relationships unfulfilling? Are you dealing with current or past trauma and abuse? Are you grieving the loss of a relationship? Are you unable to ask for what you want? I am a gentle and caring therapist who will provide a safe place to heal and gain tools. Treatment is goal oriented and client centered accessing strengths, creating awareness, educating, and skill building. I may also use a new technique called Lifespan Integration which promotes rapid healing in adults who have experienced childhood abuse or neglect. Treatment will help you experience yourself and life in a different perspective

Experiencing relationship struggles? Parent-child conflicts and efforts to keep the family united are proving ineffective, resulting in a deteriorating family life? Ongoing struggles with depression, anxiety, mood, stress, low self-esteem and self-worth issues? Are you a victim of dysfunctional family patterns and generational conflicts? Still working to cope with significant life transitions such as divorce, blending families, or loss? Are you exhausted from the endless cycles of substance abuse and addiction, or struggling to manage anger and impulsive behaviors? Need healing, harmony, support and guidance?

Why do you want me as your counselor? Because I believe what human intuition teaches us - that when you feel connected, heard, and valued then you find the strength to live your fullest life and make the changes necessary to achieve your goals. I am the luckiest counselor in the world because I get to wake up each day and do what I was born to do - to connect with people. This helps my clients to discover what they stand for and what gives them meaning in life.

3rd wave counseling and consulting consists of a team of counselors, mentors and practioners who utilize evidenced based treatments that balance acceptance and change. These strategies help people in all contexts of their lives to experience joy and build a life worth living.

Shopping around for a couples therapist who’s going to be the right fit for both you and your partner is a daunting task for most folks.

Many people come to counseling feeling hopeless, believing that their lives or relationships are past healing. However, as individuals learn to love themselves again and families and couples begin to turn towards each other and re-discover what holds them together, a powerful healing experience takes place and the promise of having a lasting, fulfilling life and relationships becomes reality. At RISE Therapy and Coaching, we have a passion for working with individuals, families, and couples, helping them heal from the life and relationship challenges they so often face.

Through thick and thin the longest relationship you will have is with yourself, yet so often we give so much to others and forget to give to ourselves. We may not realize this until life piles up and feels hard to carry on our own. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed, confused, or like it's time to put yourself first, now is the time. Therapy can be a place to deeper understand your experiences, foster your relationship with yourself, and heal. Together we can identify what you're experiencing, process historical and current contexts, and move through it to a place of healing.

I believe that within each individual lies the answers they are searching for and that therapy provides the “sounding board” to find those answers. In my 20 yrs as a therapist providing mental health and addiction counseling, I have found success in helping my clients discover their true potential and find inner peace amidst uncertainty and conflict; and the key ingredient to my success is recognizing each individuals potential for healing, developing a “connection”, and using an empathic, client-centered approach.
