Map & Lantern Counseling is about helping your chart your path forward through the unknown and sometimes treacherous waters of life. I want you to feel as if you are embarking on an adventure where along the way you obtain the best tools for you to conquer and overcome. I have been in the social service industry working with non-profit organizations for over 14 years as a social worker. I have worked in therapeutic foster care, homeless services, and residential inpatient treatment for mental health and substance abuse disorder. My experience working in community mental health with both men and adolescents, veterans, LGBTQIA+ and an extensive background in serving individuals struggling with addiction - I am confident in being able to assist with helping you navigate and achieve your goals.
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. As a counselor, I have worked in public schools, adult and youth residential facilities, online counseling, wilderness programs, private practice, and mental health facilities. My areas of expertise include sexual abuse, domestic violence, substance abuse, parenting, and leadership. I have presented at many local, state, and national professional conferences and have taught many masters’ level mental health courses for the past 20+ years. Currently, I am the Assistant Program Director and Associate Professor of Counseling at Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions. Prior to my work in counseling and academia, I served a tour of duty in Germany as an officer in the US Army and then back in America as a bank branch manager. I graduated from Brigham Young University with degrees in Corporate Communications (BA) and Educational Psychology (M.Ed.) and at the University of the Cumberlands (Ph.D.) in Counselor Education and Supervision.
Nice to meet you! I’m Jessica, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience working with adults. Clients often describe me as warm, direct, and easy to talk to.
I specialize in supporting LGBTQIA+ clients and adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and major life transitions. My goal is to create a space where you can be fully yourself and feel supported while doing meaningful work.
I work with individual adolescent and adult clients via virtual sessions. I also specialize in working with ADHD clients—especially creatives, musicians, performers, artists, and late-diagnosed—who feel stuck, bored, or disconnected from their sense of flow. My work is active, conversational, and insight-oriented rather than passive or clinical.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Utah, I bring a unique blend of life experience and professional expertise to my practice. Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years in the music and entertainment industry, working as a sound engineer and record producer in Los Angeles. This background has given me a deep appreciation for creativity, resilience, and the complexities of human relationships—skills I now use to support my clients through their own life challenges. I understand firsthand how important it is to feel seen and heard, and I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space for everyone I work with

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Salt Lake City, UT
Finding couples therapists in Salt Lake City starts with understanding what you want to work on together. Couples therapy may support partners navigating communication concerns, recurring conflict patterns, trust after infidelity, major life changes, or parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in couples care, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list couples-focused approaches, such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy, in their bios.
In Salt Lake City, the right fit often depends on both clinical experience and practical details. You may want a therapist with an office near downtown, Sugar House, or the University of Utah area, or you may prefer virtual marriage counseling if it works better for both schedules. Since couples therapy requires one therapist who fits both partners, compare appointment times, session structure, and whether a brief phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist profiles can also help you understand how each therapist works with couples before you book.
Couples therapy in Salt Lake City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and filter by virtual or in-person care. You can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
