How often do you get curious about the difficulties you face? Have you ever sought support, understanding, or another perspective from someone you feel safe with or trust? The beauty of the therapeutic relationship is that it is a secure space to explore this curiosity about your feelings and whatever you are facing in life.

I believe in the power of healing and growth through connection and self-discovery. In my practice, I work with people of all ages to help them find their inner peace and happiness. I also believe in the importance of balance and slowing down to fully enjoy the human experience. Life can be hectic and overwhelming at times, but taking a step back to breathe and appreciate the present moment can make all the difference. Together, we can work towards finding that balance and creating a brighter future.

If you’re reading this, you’re probably experiencing a period of sadness, trial, loss, hopelessness, frustration, anger, relational struggles, feeling lost, or failure just to name a few. During these moments of turmoil, when we feel most vulnerable and isolated, asking for help may seem intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. I am particularly passionate about helping people who are or have encountered trauma, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, faith transformations, and the intersection of sexual orientation and religious experiences.

I believe there is a purpose in everything that we do and in everything that happens to us. “As soon as we are able to find meaning in suffering, then the suffering is over.” A big part of my approach is helping you find peace in the midst of the suffering. A lot of the time we cannot change our surroundings or the world around us but we can find peace in ourselves and change within. Healing is a personal journey that can be extremely painful. My main focus is walking with you as you feel what you need to feel and to find meaning to help you move forward.

I offer counseling to individuals and couples. The most important trait I believe a therapist can bring to a person who is suffering mentally, emotionally and or spiritually is unconditional positive regard. I welcome the opportunity to help you navigate the complexities of your mental health. Together we can determine a treatment plan that meets your specific needs. Nothing is more rewarding to me than helping clients overcome challenges and increase their joy, satisfaction and qualify of life.

Do you feel like you need direction, knowledge, or compassion to get you back on track? Do you feel like your relationships aren’t where you want them to be and you don’t know what else to try? Therapy is work, but changes that we want to make in our life come from small, focused efforts every day. It is an honor to be a part of the change process in people’s lives. I work with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and general life stressors with couples, teens, and adults to empower them to lead a fulfilling life in whatever areas they desire to see change.

I was born and raised in Las Vegas but relocated to Utah with my wife in 2014. I have spent most of my career as a business consultant and enjoy helping others simplify complex issues. After my own struggles, I realized that these skills could easily be transferred to individuals who had challenges in their personal lives. I am drawn to working with others who are overwhelmed by all the demands life places on them.

What is gestalt therapy?
Gestalt therapy is based on the idea that to address unresolved negative feelings, emotions must be not only discussed but also actively expressed in the present moment. The term is from a German word meaning “whole,” and gestalt therapists believe that people should be considered whole entities made up of mind, body, and emotions. Gestalt sessions are rooted in the notion that a client’s total self must be discovered, explored, and confronted, so that they can take greater responsibility for themselves and their behavior, learn to satisfy their own needs while still respecting the needs of others, and reconnect with feelings they might otherwise deny.
How does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy sessions do not just involve talking with a therapist. Clients may take part in role-playing, re-enactment, or artistic exercises like drawing and painting, with the goal of becoming more aware of negative thought patterns that limit happiness. One common gestalt exercise is “the empty chair,” in which a client sits across from an empty chair representing a partner, relative, boss, or a part of themselves—and, with the therapist’s encouragement, improvises a dialog with it. The intention is to bring the emotions raised by past conflicts into the present and work through them in the moment.
How long does gestalt therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for gestalt therapy; people who believe that they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that had been holding them back. New patients should understand that it may take some time to become comfortable with gestalt exercises but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions.
Does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy has generally been found to be as effective as other forms of talk therapy in helping people living with anxiety, depression, phobias, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders, as well as helping individuals reduce conflict in relationships. Gestalt techniques, on their own or in combination with other therapies, can also be effective in managing physical ailments including ulcerative colitis, migraines, and back spasms. It should be noted that some people may have trouble adapting to gestalt therapy’s lack of formal structure or to a therapist’s close observations of their body language and emotions; others may struggle to commit to techniques that feel unnatural, like the empty chair exercise.
