Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Draper, UT

I find value in a person-centered, insight-oriented approach. I also take a somewhat eclectic approach in which modalities I use so to best adapt to your needs and preferences. I primarily work with adults of all identities. I work to create an inclusive and justice oriented practice.

I specialize in working with anxiety, ADHD, and women's issues. I provide individual and relational therapy.

I received a MS in Human Development and Family Science with a specialization in Couple and Family Therapy from Kansas State University in Manhattan, KS.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience. I believe in a supportive, welcoming approach, that can be gently direct when needed. I like working with those in relationship distress, especially from an angle of men's empowerment. I am comfortable in working with trauma and sexual behaviors. I am certified to do EMDR and enjoy doing this practice with clients.

Life's struggles often point toward opportunities for growth. I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, spiritual questions, and challenges related to identity and meaning. Together, we explore the deeper patterns shaping your experiences while building practical processes for lasting change.

My approach combines evidence-based therapy with a focus on self-discovery, personal growth, and living more authentically. I believe healing involves more than reducing symptoms—it involves developing a fuller relationship with yourself and creating a life aligned with your deepest values and potential.

Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply ready for a new chapter, therapy can help you move toward greater clarity, resilience, and wholeness.

I enjoy helping others and hope to connect with those seeking to improve their mental and emotional health and achieve a healthier and happier life. I have had significant success with anxiety and stress reduction, depression management and reduction, release of past traumatic memories (ie. abuse, serious accidents, witnessing horrific events, etc), relationship issues, parenting skills, behavior management, and grief and loss.

I specialize in medication management for mental health. As a Nurse Practitioner board certified in both Psychiatric Mental Health and as a Family Nurse Practitioner, I have been trained to view the whole person when determining treatment.

Life can be a fulfilling and challenging journey. It is part of the human experience to need support at different times depending on our life stage or situation. Seeking support can be intimidating. I am committed to working collaboratively with clients to foster learning and growth, enabling you to live your best life.

Originally from Ohio, I moved to Utah in 2003 to provide therapeutic outdoor experiences to youth and families. I have spent much of my career working with adolescents and young adults after receiving my Master of Social Work from the University of Utah in 2008. As a LCSW, I think its valuable to utilize resources specific to an individual instead of resources specific to a therapist. With that, I primarily lean on the principles of DBT, ACT, CBT, MI, Seven Challenges, Narrative therapy and EMDR/Trauma informed approaches. I also have experience with substance use and problematic media and technology use. As a psychedelic-assisted therapist, I believe in set and setting as a foundation for growth.

I spend much of my free time outdoors and sleep better under the stars. I love the mountain and desert surroundings that Utah provides and can often be found boating, skiing, hiking, backpacking and traveling the western U.S. I am also a land steward in Cache Valley, raising a menagerie of animals and vegetables. I also enjoy cooking and listening to live music.

I specialize in working with individuals navigating Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), personality disorders, trauma, and the unique stressors faced by first responders. I also enjoy supporting clients through major life transitions, including shifts in identity, relationships, and belief systems.

I am thoughtful about diagnosis and do not rush to label or pathologize clients. Instead, I focus on understanding the full picture of what you’re experiencing and creating a treatment plan that feels relevant, practical, and aligned with your goals.

I strive to provide an open-minded, culturally responsive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic space. I welcome conversations around diverse relationship structures, including ethical non-monogamy (ENM), as well as faith transitions, spiritual exploration, and deconstruction.

Whether you are managing anxiety, healing from trauma, navigating motherhood or identity changes, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be a place to better understand yourself and create meaningful change.

Are you a veteran feeling weighed down by anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship stress, or the emotional load of motherhood? I work with veterans facing PTSD, maternal mental health challenges, and relationship struggles, and I also support people navigating recovery. My approach is warm, honest, and centered on helping you feel seen, supported, and understood.
