Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Greater Avenues, Salt Lake City, UT

I am dedicated to helping young people thrive both on and off the field, and in and out of school. With a focus on supporting student athletes and their families. I provide personalized, empathetic care to address the unique challenges faced by youth in sports and their caregivers. Using evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, and performance coaching, I work with young athletes to build resilience, improve focus, and achieve their goals. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each individual’s needs.

I offer a supportive space for those in their 20's, 30's, and 40's to explore thoughts & emotions while addressing how they influence your actions and therefore well-being and happiness. Together, we'll navigate & nurture your inner world – mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually – embracing the entirety of who you are, including your strengths & shadows. IFS, CBT, mindfulness, and person-centered therapeutic models inform my practice. I also offer women processing groups for those who want deeper connections and a comfortable place to learn strategies toward fuller and fulfillment and tools for processings hard emotions.

Are you finding that your mind is running on overdrive, leaving you feeling drained and struggling to focus? Do you feel a lack of motivation to engage in activities you once enjoyed or find yourself navigating through a significant life transition? I specialize in guiding individuals through these exact challenges. Through a collaborative therapeutic approach, I help clients pinpoint the sources of their stress and develop effective strategies to manage the daily hurdles that life presents.

Do you avoid taking chances in your life, career, or relationships due to fears of not being good enough? Do you feel controlled by feelings of guilt, shame, and worthlessness? I provide a space in which you can feel safe exploring and working through these challenges, and leave feeling unburdened by the past, empowered, and capable of creating the life you want to live. I strive to ensure that you feel validated and accepted, as I believe these qualities are essential in having the confidence to both face and overcome suffering. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults.

I am licensed in Georgia & Utah and have over ten years of experience working with children, adults, and families. My primary focuses include grief and loss, life stage changes, depression/anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma & abuse. I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients and have experience with diversity in regards to gender, race, culture, religion, and sexual orientation. I find that people who feel that I am a good match for them have a desire to begin to strengthen their internal sense of self and strength and are eager to begin their journey to a higher level of self-actualization.

On my own healing journey from childhood abuse and 4 time cancer survivor I bring layers of personal experience, formal education, and years of in-depth training in a variety of evidence-based mind-body-spirit approaches including herbs and nutrition to help clients heal gut and inflammation issues while we rewire the mind and learn new tools for moving forward. Allowing personal and spiritual growth to unfold mentally and physically.

V Frankl: “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” My passion is helping disrupt the habitual autopilot of life in order to gain a sense of resiliency, purpose, and vitality. When experiencing burnout, acute/chronic stress, trauma, and/or chronic pain I work with you to restore balance in your life by processing stressors, trauma/triggers, and building in resources to increase resilience in the face of these barriers. This is achieved by working as a team: You are the expert of you and I bring the expertise of psychology.

Feeling stuck! Free yourself starting with a phone call. No matter who you are and whatever the problem, I have trust in the process of change and believe that all people deserve to be treated holistically with safety, confidentiality and no judgement. From my experience, I have seen the therapeutic process lead so many to a better and happier way of living.

Jeff came to Lifestance Health after working here as an Intern during his first year of graduate training. His journey to becoming a therapist came from having run addiction recovery groups as a volunteer for nearly 3 ½ years. There he found how much pain people live with, often while working hard to appear as though nothing is wrong. There is something so incredibly powerful about seeing someone being validated and heard. Before returning to Lifestance, he worked at Renaissance Ranch Treatment Center–helping those in the acute phase of addiction recovery.

Have you struggled with feeling good about yourself? How does your perception of yourself impact your life? Each of us have lived experiences that leave imprints on our lives sometimes impacting our ability to trust, and connect with ourselves and those around us. I aim to foster a space in therapy that invites room for curiosity, safety, and also bravery in order to encourage---growth, self-discovery and healing. I work with both young adults and adults who are experiencing never feeling enough, or have experienced: trauma, self-harming behaviors, eating disorders, body perception issues, perfectionism and negative self-perception.

Life is a journey and along the way there are often circumstances that create great pain and trauma that often redirect us down the wrong path.If we try to ignore the pain it only gets worse & the cycle of dysfunction begins! I have learned that we all need help navigating though life's trials, and yet it takes a lot of inner strength to even ask! As a therapist my goal is to allow you to reach your greatest potential during this journey and gain the right tools to navigate through anything that comes in your path!

We work together to explore a deeper understanding of yourself and of your relationships to others. We develop tools to help you work through and discard destructive patterns.

I'm a feminist therapist here for the rebels & all the wonderfully anti-authority, smash-the-patriarchy people of the world. I'm radically & unapologetically body positive, sex positive, and LGBTQIA+ affirming. If you’re looking for someone who is traditional, I may not be your gal. But if you’re tired of seeing healthcare providers that give you a laundry list of diagnoses & template-based, insurance-dictated treatment, maybe you can find some reprieve in my little corner of the Universe. I’m not here to fix you (you're not broken), but we can always explore & deal with the things that get in the way of you living your best life.
