Therapists in West Valley City, UT

I believe that each client is an expert in their own life thus therapeutic work should be collaborative. I take a motivational, strengths-based approach with the belief that eventually the pain will subside and we get to decide what will take its place. Therapy can be uncomfortable but it should be embraced as we make changes for growth, find value through the difficult experiences, and peace in collaboration. I understand therapy can be difficult to step into my goal is to just help you feel it was worth it!

Unlock your potential and reclaim your life with a unique approach to therapy. At the core of my practice is the belief that mental health influences every aspect of life, from building meaningful relationships to maintaining personal well-being. With the right support and a willingness to embrace vulnerability, therapy can restore one's sense of self to heal, grow and thrive.

I have worked with a wide variety of individuals, to include those with mood disorders, dissociative disorders, trauma histories, chronic stressors, and those going through life adjustments including helping families going through divorce, or other high conflict situations. I work with all ages, but specialize in adolescents. I provide individual, couples and family counseling.

I personally know what it is like to reach out for support. Everyone has a unique story, and therapy doesn’t look the same for any two people. I am committed to remaining curious, non-judgemental and open to understanding you. I believe that it is imperative to be grounded in evidence-based practices, I find it equally as important to be genuine and compassionate within this very connection-based work. I primarily utilize humanistic and narrative therapeutic approaches, and often incorporate other modalities to best address the unique needs of each person I work with.

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “How did I get here?” Sometimes life feels hard, overwhelming, and chaotic. Maybe you just don’t know where to start or you feel lost. Maybe you’re embarrassed that you can’t handle things on your own or like you don’t know who to ask for help. Perhaps you're going through a rough patch or you're looking to improve your relationships with friends, family, or partner. Or, maybe your child is struggling with anger, sadness, or anxiety.

I believe in a holistic approach to therapy, and I do my best to ensure that treatment is tailored specifically to each client. As a therapist, I emphasize the therapeutic relationship between the client and therapist, as I believe that this the foundation and key to successful therapy.

Have you ever felt stuck, struggling to make it day by day? That you are never good enough? Mentally and physically you just feel blah, like life is tedious and flat. It just seems like regardless of how hard you try, whatever progress you make, you eventually slip back into old habits. Yet, other people seem to have it all together, happy relationships, successful careers, and happy fulfilled life. The comparison and constant stress, anxiety, and pressure are taking a toll, keeping you trapped in an unfulfilling life.

I work with individuals, couples, and families to identify undesired behavioral and relational patterns. These patterns leave us feeling anxious and depressed, a telling sign that change/growth is needed. I specialize in immigrant trauma, second-generation immigrant experience, and interracial relationships/parenting. Being a second-generation immigrant myself, I have an understanding for the challenges families face in the immigrant experience.

I believe that each person experiences events in their own unique way, and that the way they perceive these events is driven by their own backgrounds. As such, everybody requires their own approach to the therapeutic process rather than a “cookie cutter” approach.

I am a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist (CSAT), certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist (EFT), and certified EMDR therapist. Using secure encrypted video conferencing I specialize in helping individuals struggling with sexual addiction/compulsion and their partners, especially those for whom in-person therapy is impossible due to their geographical location or lack of skilled therapists where they reside. Following telehealth regulations my focus is on helping individuals in the two states where I am licensed, Utah and Massachusetts.

I believe that each client knows their lives best, and therapy can be a combined journey between therapist and client. I use strength-based, motivational and solution focused approaches to best help my clients. By doing this, I believe that you will begin to heal at your own pace and in your own way. Although therapy can be uncomfortable, we can encourage the change and growth to better our lives. I believe we can find appreciation and peace in working together to heal. My goal is for you to have found therapy worth your while.
