UnitedHealthcare UHC | UBH Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

My therapeutic practices are trauma-informed, emotion-focused, and relational. This means that I enjoy getting to know you, the client, through your unique experiences as a human. Together we can navigate your emotions, relationships, and life experiences to support your emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. My tools as a therapist are based on the foundations of attachment theory, feminist multicultural counseling, and insight-oriented counseling (meaning you know yourself best). I specialize in anxiety, depression, domestic violence, abuse cycles, codependency, emotional regulation, shadow work, complex trauma, and more.

Throughout my life, I have sought the kindness and understanding of others. I have experienced trauma, which has helped shape me into the person I am today. I understand the importance of feeling seen, heard, and understood, even by a stranger. To be human is to yearn for meaning and significance. Sometimes, it feels impossible to find this within ourselves without the extended hand of others. My passion lies in connecting with people and exploring the incredible potential of the mind, body, and soul. My goal is to assist others in finding and thriving in their own health and happiness.

All great relationships start with individuals. All people have something unique to offer one another, but with the stressors of day-to-day life such as anxiety, sadness, trauma, and self-esteem needs, navigating relationships with our partner and ourselves can take a back seat. I am focused on helping individuals and couples enhance their relationships with themselves and others. Each individual has the capacity to be loved, understood, and valued. This comes by first loving and understanding oneself, and then connecting with and understanding our partner.

No matter how capable and resilient we are, at times we are faced with challenges that require professional help. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect of therapy. I offer a client-centered, strength based approach to therapy. I help clients identify their thinking errors and behavior patterns that are causing harm and standing in the way of them accomplishing their goals. I have experience working with people who face depression, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma, ADHD and other issues. I currently work with adult clients (18 yrs old and up).

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!

I work with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, and depression. I am trained in EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing) for large-scale or small-scale trauma.

I help adults experiencing anger, trauma, substance abuse, relationship issues, depression, and anxiety. I believe in individualized care and will work with you to identify the best therapeutic direction. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Have you ever thought to yourself: “I know this isn’t my fault & that what I’m thinking isn’t true…so why does it still FEEL like it is?” If you have, I want you to know - that can change and life doesn’t have to always feel this heavy. I want to help you work through the burdensome trauma that others may have put on you so you can start enjoying life again instead of just surviving it.

I will meet you where you are and this will be our starting point. It might seem intimidating to seek therapy, but I'm going to make sure you feel at ease and comfortable. Therapy can range from crisis intervention to prevention measures and from short-term to long-term support. Therapy is a personal journey and I truly believe the relationship is the most important aspect of positive change.

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.

Our mission is to provide quality online mental health and substance abuse services while breaking down the barriers of traditional, office-based therapy. Traditional mental health and substance abuse treatment tends to focus on what makes you sick, and what you are lacking but at The Mindful Lemon, our clinicians let you sit in the driver’s seat, focusing on your strengths and assets to help you become the best version of you! This can be via traditional talk therapy, medication management, mindfulness techniques, an emphasis on health, wellness, and fitness, or any combination of the above.

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.

Congratulations for taking steps to invest in yourself. I think that is so brave! Therapy is a crucial tool in navigating much of what we experience as humans day to day. I am passionate about helping clients improve their quality of life, whatever that uniquely means for them. It can mean: Learning coping skills for Depression and Anxiety, navigating faith transitions, processing change, making important decisions, talking through relational difficulties, decreasing ruminative thoughts, processing trauma, and replacing cycles of ineffective behaviors. We all make sense! We often just need support and safety to make desired changes.
