Family Therapy in Lehi, UT

In life, we often feel overwhelmed, depleted, and in need of support. Maybe it is a struggle with anxiety or depression, a negative belief, an addiction or perhaps you have been hit by a marital betrayal or loss of connection. No matter the cause, therapy can be a means to hope and healing. According to Dr. Peter Levine, “Trauma is perhaps the most avoided, ignored, belittled, denied, misunderstood, and untreated cause of human suffering”. He describes trauma as “anything that is too much or comes too fast” or is hard on your body physically or emotionally. I believe we all have the ability to heal, grow, and transform.

Do you find that you are especially hard on yourself? You've done everything you know how to have a satisfying life, but can't seem to feel confident with what you have going for you. Perhaps you've been in a relationship where you felt it was wrong to have wants and needs. Or maybe you fear that someone will discover you as a fraud at work. Perhaps your parents understand you about as well as most understand Latin. In any case, it scares the pants off of you to think about standing up for yourself. You are certainly not alone in the struggle.

Each client who enters my office desires deeper personal connections, less stress and more hope. When tragedy strike, and you find yourself facing depression, anxiety, or dark thoughts, then I'd like you to begin a mental health journey with me. We're all part of the human condition and we have to learn how to keep our brains healthy and heal when needed.

How can we have more peace, resiliency, and deeper connection in our relationships? How do we reduce anxiety, depression, harmful or addictive behaviors? We often wonder how or if it is even possible to change life-long patterns that have limited our potential and growth. Research indicates (as well as my personal and professional experience) two, very powerful approaches to change and healing that provide long-term results: the spiritual Recovery model and Emotionally-Focused therapy. Both approaches, coupled with an honest willingness to change, and an experienced therapist, hits the "bullseye" on the target for effective change!

In the Disney Movie, The Lion King, Rafiki the wise monkey says, “Oh yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it.” Being an avid Harry Potter, Disney fan has taught me a lot of things in my life. I have been a therapist for over 10 + years. I specialize in all types of traumas (i.e. family or origins, bullying, chronic health, divorce, adjustment issues, life change, grief, to all types of abuse and harm), depression, addiction, and anxiety. I work with individuals, families, couples, the LGTBQIA+ community, first responders/military, and ages 6-96+.

I believe everyone has the capacity to change, grow, and adapt. The power of connection cannot be understated. I consider the opportunity to join with someone on their journey an incredibly humbling experience, one on which I am honored to embark with them. Working together, and starting wherever my patients are, we explore their world and work to move them to a happier, healthier and more peaceful place. As a therapist, I believe my role is that of a consultant, partner, and unconditional supporter.

You are worth it. I can help you find healing, peace and happiness. I work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, identity struggles, betrayal trauma, pornography addiction, marriage issues, spiritual identity, faith crisis, mixed faith marriages, and problematic patterns that prevent you from being happy. I work particularly well with teens and their parents–and have experience working in adolescent residential treatment. I also work well with issues relating to adoption and attachment.

Therapy is a transformative experience for both the therapist and the client. I have transformed as I strive to embody compassion, empathy, and kindness working alongside clients who suffer through challenges of addiction, trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, OCD, relationship discord, betrayal, grief, and loss. I aim to provide a safe space for clients to explore their struggles and pain. I myself am no stranger to pain, health challenges, heartache, loneliness, grief, and loss. As a therapist, I have been privileged to help individuals, relationships, and families discover how they can show up more meaningfully in the world.

I am a therapist because I believe everyone deserves to be truly seen, heard, and healed. Life might have taught you that you are unworthy, incapable, or unable to experience peace. I hope to guide you through your journey of healing and growth. I believe that the resources you need to find that peace and healing are inside of you–after all, you know yourself and your needs better than anyone. It can be hard to ask for help and be vulnerable with a stranger. I do my best to cultivate an environment where you feel safe to share not only your struggles, but also your joys and laughter.
