Autism Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

Nobody wants their child to struggle with depression, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions. And nobody wants to suffer from out of control emotions and behaviors. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who specializes in working with children, teenagers, and young adults to treat mood disorders and behavior problems by providing the highest quality care, compassionately delivered. With each patient, my goal is to integrate the latest science-backed therapeutic approaches with the individual experiences, needs, and preferences that patients bring to therapy, to co-create a treatment plan tailored to the needs of each patient.

As a therapist, I am known to be relational, even-keeled, and collaborative. My approach is dynamic and personable. I help clients attune to their needs, learn how to ground themselves when overwhelmed and overexerted, regain trust and confidence in their abilities, and find opportunities for more meaningful connections. For some, this involves specific skill-building, social coaching, exposure, or trauma work; for others, this involves simply holding the space to talk it out.

If you find yourself overwhelmed by emotions, struggling to connect with others, feeling stressed, or just barely hanging on, I am here to help.

As a therapist, I utilize a client centered approach. Life gets challenging sometimes and I believe in providing a supportive, nonjudgmental space for individuals as they are navigating their way through their journey. As humans, we all go through tough times and struggle with different mental health related issues.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a belief in a holistic approach to wellness and mental health. I graduated with both a Bachelors and Masters of Social Work from the University of Utah. I completed a clinical internship with the Utah Pride Center where I worked primarily with LGBTQ+ individuals. Prior to that, I worked with adolescents, young adults, and families as a DCFS caseworker, mentor for Big Brothers Big Sisters, and co-director of the Teens’ Night Out Program at the Road Home.

My goal as a clinician is to develop a safe, honest, trusting relationship so that my clients can explore all parts of themselves without judgement. I use evidence based practices and draw on the therapeutic relationship to help my clients feel seen, heard, and understood in ways that can offer healing. My hope is to help my clients enjoy the healthy and nurturing relationships they are seeking, and to live a more whole, purposeful, and satisfying life. I work well with individuals and couples who are looking to get to the root of their challenges, and move past managing symptoms.

This can be via traditional talk therapy, medication management, mindfulness techniques, an emphasis on health, wellness, and fitness, or any combination of the above.
