Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in South Jordan, UT

I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who works with adults, young adults, teens, and children navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, relationship challenges, and difficult past experiences. I believe meaningful growth happens when you feel safe, understood, and supported. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming space where you can show up as you are, better understand what you’re experiencing, and feel more confident moving forward.

When contemplating “resiliency,” I am reminded of the wisdom shared by Thich Nhat Hanh in his quote, “No Mud, No Lotus.” This succinctly encapsulates life’s challenges and the accompanying suffering. While we often yearn for happiness devoid of difficulties, I firmly believe that these struggles are indispensable for our overall well-being, akin to the lotus requiring mud to flourish.

My role involves helping clients recognize their potential to bloom into something remarkable, even amidst adversity when the path seems obscured. Through the integration of mindfulness, self-compassion, and trauma-informed methodologies, I facilitate a journey where clients unearth their inherent strengths and resilience, fostering transformative growth from within.

I believe in showing up as a real person in the therapy room. Clients often tell me they feel comfortable being fully themselves in our sessions, whether they’re navigating anxiety, faith transitions, self-worth, or the messy in-betweens of being human. My own journey (from growing up in a high-control religious group to finding meaning and freedom in nature and music festivals) has shaped my understanding of how culture and systems impact our stories.

You've been going it alone for so long and surviving but you've reached a point where a listening ear and some new coping skills are necessary. Reaching out for therapy takes courage, and the rewards can be so worth it. My experience as a therapist can help you get unstuck and thriving again.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for helping individuals and couples improve their mental health by strengthening their relationships with others and with themselves.

I have over six years of clinical experience working with individuals navigating burnout, anxiety, faith crises, perfectionism, identity questions, depression, sexual concerns, and non-traditional relationships. I co-developed Self-Determined Relationship Therapy to bring together the most effective parts of proven models — EFT, Gottman, IBCT, ACT, IFS, and more — and adapt them to fit you, instead of fitting you to any single model. People are a lot like plants — a shade plant doesn't struggle in direct sunlight because it's broken, but because it's in the wrong conditions.

I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist with additional formal research and supervisory training. I've been in my own dark spots. That's part of why this work matters to me.
