Therapists in Weber County, UT

I am passionate about breaking down the stigmas surrounding mental health. So often we find ourselves with negative thoughts and beliefs about ourselves, others, or the world around us that hold us back from understanding or seeing who we really are and what we can become. I seek to help individuals break down their negative and distorted thinking so they can see themselves and the world around them in a more healthy and positive way. I enjoy working with adults and young adults who struggle with a range of anxiety, depression, and negative views of self.

I work with adults of all ages and specialize in working with young adults, and those experiencing challenges related to stress, identity, adjustment, and self-esteem.

My clients seek a safe space to talk about the emotions and challenges they are experiencing. In particular they want to be listened to, valued and to gain increased understanding about their current and past experiences. Ultimately, clients want to gain clarity about their goals, and feel hopeful, insightful, effective, and confident.

You deserve to be happy, every person does, but life is hard. It can feel like you're barely keeping your nose above the water on the best of days; on the worst of days you feel thousands of feet below the water.
