Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

I've worked with clients from all walks of life, primarily teens, and young adults. My current focus utilizes aspects of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I'm EMDR trained and Gottman level 1 certified . With a somatic lens and trauma informed approach I enjoy working with clients experiencing life transitions, anxiety, depression, sexuality, relationship issues, and trauma.

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.

Life is puzzling in both its perplexity and in that it resembles one. Where we attempt to find the edge pieces for some kind of outline/guide, discover which pieces fit together, constantly looking at the bigger picture, realizing it’s going to take some time to complete, and having someone join in can be helpful and/or fun. I do so in order to simplify a section of their life puzzle piece as they are attempting to find where it goes and how it fits in the bigger picture. That might include trauma focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy, DBT skills, Motivational Interviewing, solution focused therapy, and learned self-compassion.

Calling the truth-seekers, the plant medicine-sitters, "the lovers, the dreamers, and me", this is an invitation to work with someone who *gets it* and is committed to being part of the modern paradigm shift. I don't want to diagnose you, but instead help you find the gift in all the ways you are uniquely YOU. Working for 15+ years in addiction & recovery makes me somewhat of an expert in those realms, but I am much more interested in revealing how YOU are the expert of your experience. Together we will find the path back to your own loving heart thru Inner Child Work and Psychedelic Harm Reduction & Integration. REMEMBER with me

I believe that connection can be an incredible catalyst for change. I am excited about creating connections with my clients and supporting them as they explore where they want to go. I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, and adults experiencing life transitions, anxiety, depression, and the impacts of trauma. Exploring body image with clients is also something that I am passionate about.

Life can be tough and sometimes we just need some extra help in navigating our path. I have been a therapist for 12 plus years and love what I do. I meet clients where they are and hold space for each individual I work with. I love to help build the tools you may need now and in the future to create a happy meaningful life. I provide a non- judgmental environment and love helping people discover their strength within. I encourage self reflection, expression, and growth.

A fear many of us have is the fear of being honest. The truth can be difficult, it can be sad, it can even be painful but when we give ourselves that honesty we can start to heal and grow. I work with teens, young adults, adults, and families. I specialize in working with BIPOC, Queer, Spanish Speaking, Gender-Affirming Care, Anxiety, Depression, Family Conflict, Religious Conflicts, Sexual Trauma, Cultural Adjustment, Body Positivity, and Faith Transitions.

One of the most challenging steps of seeking help is trying to identify who you want to trust to help guide you through the process. Finding the right therapist can be a difficult and pain-staking process and I applaud you for taking this step. As your therapist, I want to support you in navigating difficult emotions, finding better understanding of yourself and accessing your strengths so you can face the challenges that life hands us. I want to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, develop coping strategies, and work towards positive change.

My approach is client-centered and culturally appropriate mental health services for individuals in a safe and therapeutic setting. I promote self-determination, explore strengths and resources, and advocate for improved well-being for all clients. As a therapist, social worker, and a board-certified music therapist, I can include creative therapy modalities as a part of a client’s experience if so desired.

Accepting NEW Clients - - - Are you living your best life? Are you feeling stuck? I provide evidence based treatments to help you experience a life with meaning and purpose and to feel better quickly. During our sessions, my goal is for you to feel unconditional acceptance and compassion in our relationship. My style is friendly, light-hearted and I use humor quite a bit. I will work with your strengths and unique needs to cultivate an environment where you can learn the skills to boost the quality of your life.

Most clients I see experience anxiety and depression. These are life's greatest thieves, stealing away joy and hope and leaving many clients to feel powerless. Depression and anxiety usually accompany stress that comes with problems in personal or work relationships, or failing health. Or perhaps it runs deeper than that and you have been dogged by fear and melancholy for most of your life, searching but not finding any explanation. Most clients lose faith that they can overcome these problems. I help clients find their personal strengths and overcome beliefs that leave them feeling vulnerable.

Taking the steps to engage in therapy is brave and requires a lot of courage. Opening up to a stranger in an effort to create a healthier future is no small feat, and I am impressed to know you, whoever you are! My therapeutic philosophy revolves around honoring the incredible self-compassion that it requires to be vulnerable with a therapist. I value individual autonomy and strive to create a space where you feel heard and empowered. I commit to showing up with curiosity and compassion with the intent to help equip you with the everyday bravery it takes to be human.

For over two decades, I have been providing assessment and therapeutic services to youth, young adults, and their families. As an advocate and member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I work hard to remain current in evidenced-based treatments - especially for transgender and gender expansive youth and young adults. I am a member of the Utah LGBTQ Psychotherapist Guild and the World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH). I am also a member of the Association for Addiction Professionals (NAADAC).

I believe the emotions and experiences we face in life are complex and inform the development of a wholly wonderful human being. As a companion, guide, and witness to your lives, I am honored to be able to allow for the growth of compassion and the understanding of feelings, emotions, values and beliefs. Believe me, there is no greater joy than to help others in these ways, and I am honored to work with the individuals and families who seek to better experience this wondrous life.

Do you want to get better but don't know how? You're the kind of client I want to work with. I work with adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and substance abuse. I help clients gain insight into their issues and recognize what they're already doing that's working. I believe you have all the tools you will need to cope with life, we just need to work together to discover them. Ultimately, I want you to practice good self care, have tools that work for you, be assertive, have compassion for yourself & others, and make choices based on what you value.

I see so much greatness in each of my clients I work with whether they see it or not. I take great care into having a safe, non-judgmental, supportive, and affirming space for my clients so that they can look inward and find their unique strengths and pull that goodness out.

Welcome! I am so happy that you are taking the next step towards finding healing for yourself. No matter what brings you to the search for a therapist, I hope you realize that you deserve to be seen, heard, and given a space to store your deepest desires, deepest pains, and deepest joys in life. I strive to work from an anti-oppressive lens, acknowledging the significant impact of interpersonal, systemic and intergenerational trauma. I come from a person-center, trauma-informed approach to highlight your innate resiliency in our work together. I provide support for anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, relationship issues, etc

I am passionate about helping others make peace with their suffering and overall live a more grounded life. I work with individuals (adolescents to adults), couples and families. I love helping others find new meaning after trauma and grief, manage depression and anxiety, as well as help others build healthy self-esteem. I specialize in teaching tools to help others better communicate and repair relationships, heal attachment wounds, gain skills to set healthy boundaries, time manage, build a secure attachment, self-motivate, and adjust to life changes, including medical diagnosis, breakups/divorce, loss, and career changes.
