Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Utah County, UT
I know what its like to feel disconnected, unable to trust, and preoccupied with traumas that I want to leave, but which will not leave me.
I like to come at therapy kind of like I would a drummer at a jam session. I'm there to find a groove with another voice. I want to communicate with you and help you to open up and learn to express yourself. We will seek understanding first and then we will find a way to encourage healing and growth that is unique to you and builds a stronger identity. I am strengths-based and I like to find existing skills to help a client build a new way of thinking and interacting with their body. This is also a very effective way of beginning the process of healing symptoms of PTSD in conjunction with other evidence based trauma treatments.

I help clients learn how to work through symptoms of depression, anxiety, marital & family issues, attachment issues, acute & chronic illness, addiction, and trauma experiences.
CBT-cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on changing distorted thinking. Many clients have negative thinking and self-hatred, which has influenced behaviors. EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a form of therapy that helps people heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. DBT-Dialectical Behavioral Therapy teaches mindfulness, a technique to help clients live their lives fuller and more aware. DBT teaches distress tolerance, effective relationship skills, emotion regulation and coping skills for life's challenges. Play therapy uses play to help children deal with emotional and mental health issues.

I regard my clients as the experts in themselves and look for opportunities for them to see that expertise as well. I see clients from all walks of life and work to create a safe space for anybody who needs it. I have worked closely with trauma survivors to help find ways through the trauma of the past and begin to look forward to the future.

I excel at helping clients work through anxiety, depression, betrayal, trauma, & life transitions.
Sometimes life spins out of control, leaving you hanging, wondering how to make the crazy stop. Just breathing is hard, and you'd give anything to feel normal again. Perhaps that moment is now? Taking the first step to get help can be scary, but it's worth it...because it IS possible to have freedom from trauma, isolation, sadness, anxiety, despair & other struggles. And the best part: you don’t have to do it alone. Our 1st session of therapy won't fix the problems or make them go away...in fact, our 4th session likely won't make the crazy stop either, but in time you WILL heal, regain control, & discover your authentic self.

I specialize in working with individuals who face trauma, eating disorders, body image challenges, insecurities, unhealthy relationships, partners who have an addiction, unstable family situations and ethnic or cultural discrimination.
One of my all-time favorite quotes is “broken crayons still color”. To understand that you can feel broken and still have value is vital. It means that your worthiness is not based upon the things that have happened to you. Nor is it based upon your mistakes, your outward appearance, or your lack of friendships. The list goes on and on. My personal belief of worthiness means that it applies to ALL and bears no cost, much like the concept of grace. This is a belief I try to bring into all my sessions.

I have experience working with addiction, infidelity (affairs), and trauma (emotional neglect, childhood sexual abuse, etc.
It’s my personal belief that relationships make the world go round – at least when they’re connected and supportive. Life is hard and relationships can feel very complicated sometimes. Others can say and do hurtful things and trust can be broken by the very people we care the most about. We internalize messages we learned at home or elsewhere and those impact how we interact and be in relationship with others.

My approach is trauma-informed and person-centered with an eclectic style.
Have you ever felt ashamed? Ever felt like others don’t understand you, but say they do? Those have been my own experiences and have led me to work with people in recovery and their families, survivors of domestic violence/abuse, minority communities and teens. I come from a multi-cultural family with an immigrant parent which has both enriched my life and created unique struggles for me. These experiences, however, have helped me empathize with a wide variety of people and situations. My goals are to support my clients as they navigate their struggles and find hope and strength within themselves.
