I use an evidenced based eclectic approach which includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
For the past 11 years, I have worked with adolescents and their families in residential treatment and outpatient therapy. This time has only deepened my empathy and understanding for individuals that endure very difficult life circumstances. I admire those seek help and healing. A strong relationship is the foundation of therapy. I am especially skilled at building the trust necessary to address complex behavioral and emotional issues. I especially enjoy helping children, adolescents, and their parents create safety in their homes, improve communication, change negative patterns, and believe that they can heal.

Your child means the world to you. You’ve worked and invested so much throughout the years for their benefit and well being. Despite all the planning and parenting preparation you did, there are somethings that you weren’t prepared for: Constant arguments at home and meltdowns. Emails/calls from the school of your child struggling with focus and sitting still. A child that worries and is scared so much of the time. When your teenager says to their friends “I just want to die.” How to help your child through big life changes such as divorce, a move, or the death of a loved one. Or, if someone has purposely hurt him/her.

I use trauma informed practices including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Therapy), IFS, TF-CBT ( Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and Attachment Theory.
Distressing and traumatic experiences can leave us feeling confused, alone and emotionally disconnected. As a trauma informed therapist I assist individuals in confronting, making sense of and resolving past, traumatic experiences. I help my clients connect present day, unhelpful behaviors, beliefs and attitudes to unresolved, lived experiences. I have over 15 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents and adults. My areas of expertise include: trauma, anxiety and depressive disorders, maternal mental health (i.e. postpartum depression), grief and loss and issues of self-esteem.

I never wanted to develop my resiliency muscle, but when life challenges caused me to question my worth and sanity, I begrudgingly dragged myself into a therapist's office. I soon realized the value in processing my experiences with an unbiased professional who helped me discover inner strengths and progress toward my goals. Transforming my own life with the help of a therapist encouraged me to return to college as a single mom and become a therapist myself.

Dealing with sticky thoughts and intense dread? Hi, I’m Grace andI help treat religious OCD in current or former Latter-day Saints. If you struggle with compulsive confessing, praying, or repenting you know how much OCD can take the joy from religion. My clients struggle with feeling deep dark guilt in response to even perceived mistakes. Like Chidi from the Good Place, they stress deeply over even the possibility of sin. Their relationships with God and religion in general leave them with intense anxiety. If religion and morality bring dread instead of peace, we should work together. I am also happy to work with other types of OCD.

I am passionate about working with individuals and couples in any stage of their life or relationship. I believe that emotions motivate behavior, and that understanding our own emotions is essential to growth and change. I want to help you learn how to break out of negative cycles, and discover a new way to connect with yourself and others. I’ve spent most of my time living in Utah, so I understand the unique cultural factors which influence relationships and families in the area. I also love meeting and working with people who don’t fit into the same mold.
