Adlerian Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

I believe people can build the lives they want to live by aligning themselves with their values, which may shift with the various seasons of life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to create meaningful, measurable change in how they feel, function, and relate to others. My approach is evidence-based, empathic, and solution-focused, with therapy centered on helping you achieve clear goals so that progress is noticeable in daily life. I work with a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, low mood, loss, self-doubt, and life transitions—and have particular expertise in performance psychology, public speaking anxiety, panic attacks, fear of flying, and questions of purpose or meaning. If you’re unsure whether therapy is the right next step, I also offer a one-time consultation assessment to help clarify what may be contributing to your current stress and identify effective pathways forward, whether through therapy or other strategies.

My goal is to help you identify and resolve issues that may be preventing you from getting more of what you want in life. My style is warm and empathic, yet I can be challenging when it is needed in order to achieve growth.

When a family is ravaged by addiction - of any kind - everyone is affected and everyone needs to heal. At Love With Boundaries Addiction Family Counselling, we work with the family members first, so that they can make the changes they need to make to truly help the addicts they love. The results we achieve are amazing - the addicts and their families begin to make healthier life choices so that recovery from the devastation of addiction leads to their new way of life.

When life’s experiences leave you feeling unsettled or disconnected from yourself, it can be hard to know where to turn. I offer a calm, supportive space where you can explore what’s happening inside with honesty and without pressure. Together, we slow things down, listen to the parts of you that have been working so hard, and help them find relief. I blend approaches like EMDR, DBR, and parts work to support meaningful, sustainable change. If you’re longing for more ease, clarity, and emotional balance, I’m here to walk with you as you rediscover your own inner steadiness.

Salt Lake City is the world headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and this religious and cultural reality profoundly shapes the city's therapy landscape — with therapists who can work thoughtfully within LDS family frameworks, navigate faith transitions, and understand the particular psychological pressures of a community where cultural and religious expectations are deeply intertwined serving an essential role. The city's growing tech industry — part of the 'Silicon Slopes' corridor — creates additional demand for therapists experienced with startup culture, high-performance careers, and the particular identity challenges of building secular professional lives in a deeply religious community. University of Utah Health and Intermountain Medical Center provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a well-developed private therapy community. Salt Lake City's significant LGBTQ+ population — navigating identity in a predominantly LDS cultural context — creates consistent demand for affirming therapists who understand the intersection of queer identity and religious community.
