Male Therapists in Murray, UT

As someone who has lived with the symptoms of anxiety and depression for years, I know how difficult life can be when these things weigh you down. Fortunately, this doesn't have to be so. I am experienced in applying therapeutic skills that I personally know to be powerful in alleviating suffering and improving lives. While my therapeutic background is in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), I am experienced in working within an eclectic therapeutic framework, and I call on various methods as necessary. I enjoy working with both teens and adults, and I also work well with LGBTQ+ clients.

Welcome! I understand how difficult life can be when you're feeling constantly overwhelmed, burdened by worry, or stuck in a cycle of sadness or emptiness. Sleepless nights, lack of motivation, and a sense of disconnection from others can make finding joy and meaning in everyday life seem impossible. You’re not alone, and there is hope. Imagine feeling more grounded, at peace, and in control of your thoughts, emotions, and life. Together, we can transform your struggles into steps toward a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life. Trauma, anxiety, and depression can stop being your problems and can be your opportunity to grow.

One of the most challenging and stressful things we face in life are the emotional and behavioral problems of our children. These difficulties impact not only the success of the child but the overall happiness within our home, our marital relationships and life itself can become wearisome and unmanageable. We may begin to wonder if there is “hope” for improvement or even may feel like “what’s wrong with us.” In the effort to find relief or comfort, we may find ourselves drawn to self-defeating and even destructive behaviors that offer immediate yet temporary relief. There are other options. I offer just this to my clients.

Together we can work to untangle the anxiety, depression, and/or trauma of life and bring about hope for a brighter future.

Along my career in human services that started in 2017 as a volunteer at a psychiatric hospital, I developed a passion for psychotherapy, emphasizing existential and spiritual components.

I have worked in the social work field for more than 30 years. I have worked with adults and children in inpatient psychiatric hospitals, hospital emergency department crisis, and 21 years in the juvenal justice system. I believe in Self-Determination Theory, an individual’s ability to make choices and manage their own life, and Person-Centered Therapy (a form of talk therapy) where the client (you) is believed to be the expert of your life and therefore you lead the direction of your therapy. I use many different modalities of evidence-based treatment including CBT, motivational interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

I had the experience that many others have had of going to therapy at a young age and finding it to be lacking. Very rarely was I asked what I wanted or what I believed would help me. For a long time, no one taught me how to trust my own voice. Now, I believe the greatest goal of counseling is to achieve a stronger relationship of trust and love with yourself. That is why I use evidence-based & trauma-informed therapy models to guide our work together, but you will always remain the expert of your life. I want to help you learn to hear, understand, and trust your own voice.
