Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Utah
My experience spans many years working with anxiety, depression, OCD, addictions, personality disorders, eating disorders, profound grief/loss, single episode and complex PTSD.
My primary goal is to help restore the power of the individual, to the individual. It is difficult to create ourselves to our true self until we uncreate the thinking and believing that is causing our distress because "whatever we resist, persists." To empower those I work with to see acceptance as a possible way out of their distress by realizing their true control in any given situation. This begins to uncreate the old thinking and responses that lead to further distress. To help those heal to freedom by removing danger, not increasing it, by providing effective tools of creation through improved thought, word and action.

My focus is to help individuals heal from any forms of trauma, find balance in their life, and become aware of their inner strengths.

Sometimes one becomes stuck in destructive cycles or unhealthy patterns learned in childhood. Maybe it was neglect, abuse, or a chaotic environment due to a parent figure so wrapped up in their own trauma, they were unable to be there for you. Or maybe a more recent trauma (an accident, sexual assault, military experiences, etc.) is bothering you. And no matter how hard you try to numb and suppress the past, it has a way of dictating your present behaviors and affecting the way you feel about yourself and function in relationships today.

I utilize techniques from a variety of treatment approaches including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, a therapy primarily utilized to aid those who are living with symptoms of trauma.
One of my top priorities is to create a space in which you can feel accepted and valued just the way you are, a space in which you can heal. I am loving and open-minded and enjoy working with people from all walks of life. I love connecting with others and believe that each person has qualities that make them valuable and unique. I love taking into consideration your individual characteristics, needs, and strengths, and I strive to make your experience in therapy enjoyable.

Life can be complicated and full of events that overwhelm us. As a result, problematic patterns may begin that negatively affect almost every area of life. These events may also negatively shift beliefs about self, others, and the world at large. Once this occurs, it can be difficult to repair without professional help. Additionally, trauma can be unique to each individual. It's not always a confrontation with mortality but sometimes, a deep hurt or betrayal by someone we should have been able to trust.
