Grief counselors and therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

We all feel a little off now and then. If you’ve been wondering if counseling might be helpful, you’ve come to the right place! Asking for help is the first step to a better you, and is a sign of strength, not weakness. Therapy can bring clarity to a life hijacked by life's challenges.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with a background in military service and a passion for helping teens and adults work through anxiety, trauma, and life stress. I bring both clinical training and real-world experience into the therapy room to create a space that feels supportive and effective. I use evidence-based approaches like Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to help clients find relief and move forward. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and capable of creating meaningful change.

I have helped individuals sort through hectic times. If you need someone to talk to with and empathetic ear, then feel free to reach out. I am accepting new clients evening hours after 8:30pm cst for clients in Texas, New Jersey, Utah, and Iowa. I have an additional focus on Men's Issues related to Infidelity, sexual dysfunction, and sex/porn addiction. I provide a safe space to work through these issues.

I’m a clinical mental health counselor who works with adults navigating issues such as depression, anxiety, high stress, self-esteem issues, and feeling stuck. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as you are without feeling judged. Therapy with me is collaborative, supportive, and focused on helping you understand what’s going on beneath the surface while building tools that actually make a difference in your day-to-day life.

I’ve worked with individuals from a variety of backgrounds and aim to create an inclusive environment where you feel heard, respected, and supported.

When life gives you lemons...

My education gave me the tools to be a skilled clinician. But it was my own trauma that gave me the insight and depth I bring to this work. I know what it feels like to live in a body that doesn’t feel safe—to question everything, including yourself. I spent over a decade learning how to heal, reclaim my voice, and become the kind of guide I once needed.

In the midst of that long journey, I had a quiet moment of clarity: what I was going through wasn’t just about survival—it was about becoming someone who could walk with others through the dark. That experience grounds my work in both knowledge and deep compassion.

Learning to love the desert

I’ve come to believe that being lost isn’t a problem—it’s part of the path. Like La Loba, the mythical bone-gatherer who wanders the desert collecting what’s been buried and brings it back to life, I help others gather what they’ve lost along the way. That process is sacred, slow, and often surprising—but it’s how we come home to ourselves.

There are parts of you that haven’t died; they’ve just been waiting. And sometimes, when it all falls apart, that’s when the wild, wise parts of you rise again.

I strive to help individuals who have been plagued by past or current trauma. I am here to empower within and help my clients uncover who they truly are. My goal is to connect with your potential, find wellness, and create meaning. Finding a therapist who empathizes yet pushes you is never easy. My gentle approach will aid clients in understanding their maladaptive thought patterns and challenging the narrative that has kept them stuck for so long.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have completed the requirements to be a Registered Play Therapist. I am passionate about working with children ages 3-12. Many of the children I work with are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or challenges related to adoption, ADHD, or Autism. I also have a strong interest in supporting children who struggle in their school setting. I enjoy collaborating with parents and school personnel to help children be successful in all settings.

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.

As someone with OCD, I know what it's like to be stuck in your head all day. My own lifelong journey of healing energizes the work I do with my clients. I graduated from the University of Utah in 2020, and have since helped many people live better lives.
