Individual Therapy in Salt Lake City & Online Across Utah
A Thoughtful Space to Understand Your Experience
Individual therapy offers space to slow down, understand what has shaped you, and move forward with greater clarity and stability.
Many adults who reach out are thoughtful, capable, and high-functioning. They have built meaningful lives, yet something feels unsettled beneath the surface. Anxiety may feel constant. Perfectionism may be exhausting. Old experiences may still influence present-day reactions in ways that are difficult to untangle alone.
If this feels aligned with what you’re looking for, you can schedule a brief consultation below.
Areas of Focus
I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, identity development, and the lasting impact of non-affirming or high-pressure environments. A significant part of my clinical experience includes supporting LGBTQ+ adults, including gay men navigating belonging, authenticity, and self-trust, as well as individuals seeking secular or non-religious therapy.
Many of the adults who reach out are looking for therapy that goes deeper than symptom management, with space to understand patterns in context and make meaningful, lasting change.
Approach to Therapy
Our work is steady and intentional. We explore how patterns developed, how they once helped you adapt, and how they may be shaping your life now. Strong emotions are not problems to eliminate. They are signals that deserve attention.
I listen closely, reflect what I notice, and ask questions that help you see yourself more clearly. We move at a pace that allows insight and change to take root rather than forcing progress. Throughout the process, your autonomy matters. Therapy remains collaborative and grounded in respect.
Trauma Therapy and EMDR
Many adults who reach out are healing from trauma, including religious trauma, attachment wounds, and experiences that continue to carry weight long after they have ended. Sometimes the impact is clear. Other times it shows up more subtly in anxiety, self-doubt, or patterns that repeat in relationships.
I integrate EMDR when it supports the work. EMDR is an evidence-informed approach that helps reduce the intensity of distressing experiences over time. It is not about reliving the past or erasing it. It supports your nervous system in responding differently so that what happened no longer carries the same charge.
We begin by building stability and move forward deliberately. In addition to EMDR, I draw from other evidence-informed approaches as needed, always keeping the focus on understanding your experience in context and supporting change that feels grounded and lasting.
What to Expect
We begin with a brief 15-minute consultation to determine whether working together feels like a good fit.
If you decide to move forward, we schedule an initial assessment to better understand your history, current concerns, and what you would like to change. From there, we move into ongoing individual sessions, typically 50 minutes in length, focused on the work we identify together.
