EMDR Therapists in Layton, UT

"It is not uncommon to feel alone in our challenges, I believe it is important for us to feel that we are Not alone." I love the opportunity to help those individuals and their family members who are ready for change, whether that be in day to day living, problem solving, thinking patterns, relationships, resurfacing memories, repetitive behaviors, anger or mood imbalance. I have been a practicing therapist since 2004 and have treated multiple types of anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment issues, abuse/neglect, PTSD and other mood and behavioral disorders. I also work with first responders and veterans.

Life can be challenging. The situations that it presents often feel overwhelming and knowing where to turn and what to do can feel as though it is consuming our energy, thoughts, time and happiness. As a therapist I have focused on developing skills to assist in overcoming these challenges that often take the form of anxiety, depression, and trauma. When we struggle with these conditions it negatively affects our physical health, relationships and self-image while leaving us with pain and suffering.

I am passionate about working with people who are trying to overcome trauma, self doubt or unhelpful thought and behavioral patterns. I am passionate about and have an extensive background in working with poly/ENM, kink, LGBTQIA and other alternative lifestyle communities. I am currently in an AASECT sex therapy training program. I am an approved adult and youth trans provider and work with adults and youth in gender affirming care and letters of support.

The best part about being a therapist is seeing the positive emotional and physical responses my clients gain from therapy. I think of myself as a guide in helping people navigate challenges in their life. Everybody has challenges and obstacles they must face in their lifetime. But not one experience is the same. How we process our emotions, how and what we believe about ourselves and the world around us is as unique as we are. It’s an emotional fingerprint. I want to hear about the emotional fingerprints, both good and bad so I can better understand how to guide you away from the bad and onto a path of self-healing.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience. I want to help people live their authentic lives. I’m a good listener with judgment-free regard for others. I have been trained to treat trauma from a variety of sources i.e. military, police, first responders, abuse and grief, using EMDR and ART. I work with couples, adults, and adolescents with many issues including depression, anxiety, personality disorders, grief, ADHD, body dysmorphia, gender dysphoria, LGBTQ+ and addiction. I use several modalities including CBT, ACT and Gottman strategies.

I believe in empowering and encouraging clients to meet their goals and be the best version of themselves. I provide a stable and safe environment for clients to address their past and current challenges. I do this by being compassionate, non-judgmental, and direct with all of my clients. I believe in meeting people where they are at and working together to get where they want to be. I believe that there is no “right way” to achieve your goals or solve problems, which is why I am adaptable and utilize multiple methods of therapy in order to take an individualized approach for each client.

I have a passion for working with people from all walks of life. Oftentimes we may feel alone or like our problems are so great they cannot be overcome. Other times people feel a lot of shame about reaching out for help and see it as a sign of weakness or failure. I can assure you that you are not alone in your suffering or with your specific problems. Change, connection, and relief from mental and emotional suffering is possible. It is important to remember that we humans are social creatures and that reaching out for connection and support is built in to who we are, not a sign of weakness.

I believe everyone is doing the best they can with the knowledge they have. When we know better, we do better. I see my job as walking with client's through their personal healing journey as they learn new truths and new skills to improve their relationships with others and themselves. I am honored by the trust clients put in me to witness and assist in their healing. My ideal client is the one who is willing to look at their behaviors, patterns and face difficult truths about themselves in order to find a better way to thrive.

When we fall short of the successful lives we imagine it is often because we lack in a skill set or have something specific holding us back. Lucky for us- humans are adaptable! We can change the way we think, feel and behave and learn new skills that better serve us. As an EMDR therapist I strive to connect genuinely with my clients in order for therapy to be a safe space for change to take place. I prioritize meeting my clients where they are at while still empowering them to grow. I am kind but direct.

My hope for working with the clients I do is to help them with insights and tools for whatever isn't working in their life in order to empower them to have the most effective experience in life that they can. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been certified for the last 7 years. I have been involved with treating addiction and mental health on and off for the past 16 years.

As a thriving mental health therapist, I have a great deal of passion for helping others navigate their lives.

I utilize the empathy gained through my own lived experiences to create a safe space for healing and transformation. I'm currently utilizing EMDR, CBT, DBT, ACT and other forms of therapy to decrease levels of distress, improve the client's overall well-being and sense of self as well as assist them in living a richer quality of life.

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.

Did you know that most men who struggle with addiction have a history of trauma? Finding a Trauma-Informed practice is important for recovery and a better quality of life. I use EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Emotional Parts Work, DBT and NLP to help my clients through treatment-resistant problems. Many of my clients have had previous treatment, so we work together to develop an individual plan to find success. It doesn't matter how long you have struggled, or what you have done. You can find healing and peace. You deserve it.

Feeling stuck? As an EMDR therapist, I am committed to helping you find the real reasons that you are struggling to get to your goals. Together, we will find the root of the problem so that when you change you won't go back to where you were before. Whether past trauma or current life situations are holding you back from living your best life, I am here to be your ally. I am comfortable with online or in-person sessions- whatever style fits you best.
