Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Provo, UT
As a board certified psychologist and retired military officer with over 25 years of experience, I am trained and skilled at all four research-supported methods of treating trauma and stress-related conditions (EMDR, ART, PE, and CPT).
I’ve helped many people in my career who have struggled with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationship difficulties because of trauma, abuse, loss, or other high-stress experiences from their past. It’s not just the events we’ve experienced, but rather the result of how those events continue to affect us. I help patients retain learning and wisdom from their past but lose the pain. Everyone who steps into my office will be valued, heard, and respected no matter how difficult the issues may be to talk about. I respect and treat each person as I would want my own family member treated.

I use a trauma informed, holistic approach with EMDR, Brainspotting, and IFS at the forefront of treatment.
The challenges we face as individuals, as a community, and as a society can have a profound impact on the way we view the world, ourselves and others. Exposure to multiple adverse life experiences over time (experienced directly or in anticipation of adverse experiences) can progressively increase symptoms of anxiety, depression, clinical, and sub-clinical PTSD and even impact the state and health of our bodies. Adverse life experiences are often stored in the body and can be coded to our DNA. Somatic forms of therapy such as EMDR and Brainspotting help to adjust this lens by integrating and fully reprocessing adverse experiences.

Hi! If you are feeling emotionally bankrupt in one or many relationships, I can help. My experience has been deeply rooted in the precious commodity of felt safety and what happens to people when that flourishes or fades. One of my passions has been in creating a shift in family interaction, where trauma has created old and fresh wounds that show up in today's experiences. I work with attachment needs, grief and loss, betrayal, trauma and bonding. I enjoy engaging in therapy with individuals, couples and families. I love this work! We can do the process together. There may be swears, tears and most certainly laughter. Bring it all!

Sometimes one becomes stuck in destructive cycles or unhealthy patterns learned in childhood. Maybe it was neglect, abuse, or a chaotic environment due to a parent figure so wrapped up in their own trauma, they were unable to be there for you. Or maybe a more recent trauma (an accident, sexual assault, military experiences, etc.) is bothering you. And no matter how hard you try to numb and suppress the past, it has a way of dictating your present behaviors and affecting the way you feel about yourself and function in relationships today.

From a place of safety we change your relationship with your trauma.
I like to come at therapy kind of like I would a drummer at a jam session. I'm there to find a groove with another voice. I want to communicate with you and help you to open up and learn to express yourself. We will seek understanding first and then we will find a way to encourage healing and growth that is unique to you and builds a stronger identity. I am strengths-based and I like to find existing skills to help a client build a new way of thinking and interacting with their body. This is also a very effective way of beginning the process of healing symptoms of PTSD in conjunction with other evidence based trauma treatments.

Counseling has always been that one unique ability of mine that I felt was a higher calling. The encouragement I get from watching clients meet major milestones continues to increase my passion as a therapist. I am a firm believer that there is no shame in asking for help. Regardless of how major or minor your struggle may be, having someone to talk to makes a massive difference. As a therapist, I strive to provide a nonjudgmental environment that allows clients to feel safe and secure. I work with anxiety, depression, loss, and trauma, in addition to youth, couples, LGBTQ+, and individuals.

My training has primarily focused on trauma-informed treatment modalities to investigate & understand the human psyche & attachment dynamics.
My personal philosophy on trauma informed psychotherapy is based on western & eastern influences & focuses on a three phase model developed by Dr. Judith Herman-stabilization, reprocessing, & re-connection. In therapy with individuals, I work together to honor your unique life history & explore the impact it has on your functioning. In my work I have discovered that amazingly, the natural healing capacity of the human brain runs so deep that even the parts of our lives that are causing us difficulty can guide us toward healing.

I have experience working with addiction, infidelity (affairs), and trauma (emotional neglect, childhood sexual abuse, etc.
It’s my personal belief that relationships make the world go round – at least when they’re connected and supportive. Life is hard and relationships can feel very complicated sometimes. Others can say and do hurtful things and trust can be broken by the very people we care the most about. We internalize messages we learned at home or elsewhere and those impact how we interact and be in relationship with others.
