Dual Diagnosis Therapists in South Jordan, UT

I am dedicated to guiding individuals who face the complex challenges of trauma and addiction towards a path of healing and self-discovery. My practice centers on supporting clients through the intricate layers of trauma, helping them navigate the often overwhelming emotions that accompany it. I believe that every individual holds the potential for transformation and resilience. My goal is to walk alongside my clients as they process their trauma and embark on a journey towards rediscovering their true selves. Together, we work towards creating sustainable strategies for recovery and growth, fostering a renewed sense of purpose.

Counseling is a process where you and I as a therapist co-operate to discover the things that have kept you from living, and being the person you want. In order to help, I need to know about your situation and life in general. It is important that you be willing to talk about your thoughts and feelings etc. This takes tremendous courage. As we discuss your needs, my job is to help you find the patterns, themes, contradictions, or things that are undiscovered within you and discover ways to increase your growth and happiness.

Our goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Our Outpatient Services provide services for adults, children, and their families. Our focus is the overall emotional well-being of our clients and respect for their individual needs.

As a therapist, I am passionate about helping others feel empowered, finding their inner strength, learning to love themselves, and being an advocate for themselves. Therapy is a space where a person should feel safe and understood; a judgement-free zone.

I have experience working with a wide range of issues, needs, and goals ranging from every-day life stressors to serious mental illness and posttraumatic stress. I specialize in treating co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders and the emotional, spiritual, social, and/or attachment wounds that often drive them. I accomplish this by empowering and enabling people to free themselves from their past wounds and find hope and joy in their current life, whatever their circumstances may be.

Are you tired of traditional talk therapy? Do you feel like you address the same issues over and over again but long term change seems to be out of arms reach? You are not alone. I have worked with individual's and couples that feel like they are stuck in an endless cycle of trying to change but not getting anywhere. I enjoy working with individuals that want to change and are willing to do the work it takes to make long term change possible. Whether it be a mental health disorder, relationship issues, family struggles, conflict at school or with friends, addiction, trauma, or just basic every day life struggles,

I personally know what it is like to struggle and how hard it can be to reach out for support. Frequently, we can find ourselves merely enduring our circumstances. Therapy can be seen as a catalyst for us to gain insight into the aspects of our lives that we may be overlooking. We often create subconscious strategies to manage our pain, anxiety, and trauma. Sometimes those strategies are helpful. Sometimes less so. Realizing that some of our strategies aren't as helpful can be the catalyst to pursuing therapy. I hope to help in creating something new and in helping us to better understand you and why you do the things you do.

Our doctors and health care professionals work with you to find the treatment option that is right for you, in a very timely manner, normally within 24-48 hours.

Are you tired of feeling stressed and anxious? Do you have a phobia, mental challenges or fear that is holding you back? Hypnotherapy can help. Many people struggle with emotional and behavioral challenges that can make it difficult to live their best lives. Hypnosis, cognitive behavioral therapy and NLP can help you to overcome these challenges and achieve your goals. These are modalities allow you to access your subconscious mind, where your beliefs and patterns of behavior are stored. By working with a qualified hypnotherapist, you can reprogram your subconscious mind to create positive change in your life.

During times of struggle or change having someone to help you through is invaluable. An outside perspective can be beneficial in navigating through and overcoming challenges. As a team, we can get through those tough times. You are an individual and as such my approach varies with what works best for you. Empathy and compassion are key components of client care. My skills have a wide range of applicability and I am passionate about my work. Whether it is skill building, understanding oneself, trauma, human sexuality, or another mental health need; I can help. We all need a little help sometimes, all you need to do is ask.

I am consistently amazed by the resilience of the human spirit, and Like Viktor Frankl, believe that “the most human of all human capabilities is the capability to turn a tragedy into a personal triumph, to transform suffering into a human achievement” (Frankl, 1963). Life’s challenges are not meant to break us but to propel us toward growth and personal fulfillment. In my practice, I am dedicated to guiding individuals through their struggles, helping them uncover their inner strength and resilience.

Live Well is more than just our name, its our objective. Rediscovering who you are and the potential that lies within you

I prioritize creating a nonjudgmental and compassionate space where clients can explore their challenges and uncover their innate wisdom. Grounded in a humanistic and trauma-informed approach, I value the uniqueness of each individual and aim to build therapeutic relationships based on empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. I utilize EMDR, Mind-Body Bridging, Lifespan Integration, and ACT to assist individuals in overcoming obstacles and reaching their goals. Whether you’re healing from past trauma, navigating life transitions, or enhancing relationships, I'm dedicated to supporting your journey.

Chances are there is not going to be a quick fix or band aid remedy available to your problem or situation. However, finding the solution does not need to be too far from reach and it would be my intent to make the journey look less daunting. Yet, when it comes to addressing those negative behaviors or addictive traits that often impact our ability to form or maintain a quality of life or healthy relationships. It is important that we are deliberate, calculated, and consistent in our method of treatments. We can start doing this together by creating a space that is conducive with rigorous honesty and vulnerability.

I believe we all have our own answers within. I am committed to creating a safe and therapeutic space to facilitate in finding these answers. Challenges and struggles happen everyday of our lives and I work on building healthy coping tools and confidence to deal with these trials. Being a burn survivor I have had to learn to reinvent myself as well as my interpretation of the world around me. Through my unique experience, knowledge and skill-set I have focused my approach to increase self-esteem, gain positive outlook on life and reduce negative self-defeating thoughts and behaviors.

I have a background working with a variety of populations. I work with kids, teens and adults. I have worked with children experiencing emotional dysregulation including ADHD, ODD, generalized anxiety, and depression. My work with teens and adults includes anxiety, depression, substance use, process addictions, personality disorders, suicidal ideation, and trauma. I find joy in helping others take their power back and cultivate a life with purpose, connection and fulfillment. Please feel free to reach out if you feel like we would be a good fit!
