Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Utah County, UT

I believe that each person has the potential to live the life they truly want and that lasting change is possible. As a strengths-based therapist, I help a client find their strengths are built on and utilized in therapy to help the client work through the difficulties they are experiencing. I create a space where you can tell me anything without fear of judgment or me telling you how you should live life. Therapy is an interactive process and it shouldn’t look the same for each person. I love helping people build their confidence and becoming more assertive. I want to help you build the skills to live your life to the fullest!

Life presents unexpected challenges, leaving us feeling diminished, stuck and in pain. I offer my witness and compassionate support to your story and struggles. We work together to empower a unique journey of change. Using complimentary approaches, I help clients to find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can feel more whole. I appreciate opportunities to help clients combat anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, chronic grief and loss, relational conflict, eating disorders, low self-esteem, life transitions, addictions, parenting challenges, women's issues and caregiver support struggles.

It's my belief that clients possess the inner resources to carve out their own paths to happiness and success. My goal is to go beyond simple coping strategies to achieve lasting change by using evidence-based treatments. In my practice, I blend Cognitive Behavior Therapy with the resilience and acceptance of Stoicism, and the individual meaning-making of Existentialism. It addresses negative thought patterns as well as cultivates inner strength and empowers you to make your own decisions. We explore the depths of your experiences and beliefs, helping you face life's challenges with fortitude and find meaning along the way.

Most of us have the ability and desire to change, but we need help discovering exactly how. Despite our best efforts, we often feel frustrated and in pain from the impact of experiences we don’t fully understand. I use a dynamic yet evidence-based approach to mental healthcare focused on identifying and realigning a person’s beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors. Retain what makes you significant, and support yourself with a more accurate sense of perception and the accompanying skills required to implement. I’m genuinely grateful to be doing my dream job. I have a deep affection for people and would be honored to work with you.

Life can be hard with feelings of depression, anxiety, addiction, and trauma. I know that it can often feel overwhelming, and it is easy to feel stuck.

Welcome to your healing journey! As a therapist, I focus on helping adults overcome childhood trauma that may be impacting their current mental health. Negative experiences from the past can lead to depression, anxiety, and other symptoms that can persist into adulthood. My approach to treatment blends multiple modalities to address the root cause of these symptoms, with a primary focus on EMDR therapy for trauma. My goal is to provide a safe and accepting space for you to heal and grow. If you're ready to do the work and move forward, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

Finding the right counselor can be a difficult task. Therapists are a lot like shoes, there are so many to choose from. Some will fit you and some won’t, but once you find the pair that fits just right, then you can run faster than ever before. That is why it is helpful to use the first few sessions to “try on” the therapeutic fit with a new counselor and see how it feels. In my office, the first few sessions I focus on trying to understand more of your story and where you’re at, then to assess together how therapy can be most helpful so we make sure you’re getting what you’re looking for out of therapy.

In the Disney Movie, The Lion King, Rafiki the wise monkey says, “Oh yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it.” Being an avid Harry Potter and Disney fan has taught me a lot of things in my life. I have been a therapist for over 10 + years. I specialize in all types of traumas (i.e. family or origins, bullying, chronic health, divorce, adjustment issues, life change, grief, to all types of abuse and harm), depression, addiction, and anxiety. I work with individuals, families, couples, the LGBTQIA+ community, first responders/military, and ages 6-96+.

I provide a non-judgmental, safe space to process life’s stressors, identify and build on personal strengths, and learn new tools for dealing with challenges. My approach to therapy involves empowering my clients and working alongside them to help them meet their therapy goals. I practice therapy from a trauma-informed, intersectional feminist, and humanistic perspective. As a registered yoga teacher, I enjoy incorporating yoga and meditative practices in therapy.

Life's journey presents unique challenges that require careful navigation through diverse experiences. With over 20 years of professional experience, I have had the privilege of working with a wide array of individuals across various settings, each facing their own distinct challenges. These experiences led me to earn my Master of Social Work (MSW) and become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). For the past four years, I have specialized in individual therapy, leveraging my skills to make a meaningful impact. As an LCSW, it has taught me the importance of focusing on individuals as a whole connecting mind, body, and spirit.
