Find a therapist in Centerville, UT — covered by insurance

I’m Chris.

I enjoy helping others with the challenges of daily living. I am interested in what motivates people and helping them modify behavior patterns. People aren't broken, they are doing perfectly that which they would like to do differently. I enjoy helping people grow and change, moving to the next level they desire. I have degrees in psychology and mental health counseling. I have been helping people find relieve from fear, pain, and discomfort for more than 20 years.

I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner doctorally trained at the University of Utah, with eight years of mental healthcare experience including a year-long fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry.

I primarily work with children and teens, but also love meeting with young adults, parents, and fellow healthcare workers.

Outside of work, I love spending time in the mountains with my husband, son and very hyper dog.

I'm a marriage and family therapist who loves to work with couples and families. I also do a lot of individual work with folks navigating grief and loss. I am trained in ART and use this tool to help clients work through trauma.

Every person experiences seasons of life that can feel overwhelming. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, substance use, grief, or major life transitions, my goal is to provide a safe, collaborative, and evidence-based therapeutic experience where meaningful, lasting change can occur.

For nearly two decades, I have had the privilege of serving individuals, couples, and families throughout Nevada as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. In addition to direct clinical practice, I have served as a Clinical Director, executive leader, clinical supervisor, consultant, educator, and program developer, helping develop innovative behavioral healthcare programs and clinical services across Nevada. These diverse experiences have allowed me to work with individuals from virtually every walk of life while treating a broad range of complex behavioral health concerns.

My approach is individualized, practical, and grounded in research-supported treatment. I integrate evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, trauma-informed care, and person-centered therapy to develop treatment plans tailored to each client's unique strengths, needs, and goals.

I believe people are far more than the challenges that bring them to therapy. My commitment is to provide compassionate, clinically excellent care while helping clients build resilience, strengthen relationships, overcome obstacles, and create healthier, more meaningful lives.

I have been described as a “down to earth” and “real” therapist. I like to believe these are accurate descriptors. I bring a plethora of experience to my therapy room; however, I recognize, acknowledge, and celebrate the client being the expert on their life. I provide a safe environment which allows my clients to be transparent without judgment. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help and it is definitely a risk. We need to remember there is no growth without risk!

I have over 25 years experience working with young men and their families. I love digging in and helping clients find joy in life and increase their resilience.

I specialize in working with adults who are navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, grief, trauma, panic disorders, relationship challenges, and the particular weight that comes with being a woman managing too much at once. I'm a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah, and I offer all sessions via telehealth — so wherever you are in the state, you can access consistent, quality care without rearranging your whole schedule. I bring a wide range of evidence-based tools to every session, including CBT, DBT, trauma-focused CBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Narrative Therapy, SFBT, REBT, Gestalt, and Motivational Interviewing. That breadth matters because no two people struggle the same way — my job is to find the right fit for you, not apply a one-size approach.
