I am primarily a cognitive/behavioral therapist who uses a wide range of clinical interventions to address many presenting issues. I have worked in the field for over a decade seeing individuals, building therapeutic programs, and recently supervising fellow clinicians. I love my job, and to some that may sound weird given the fact that hard issues are addressed daily. Each of us need to feel seen, understood and accepted. I believe in positive change and progress for everyone struggling with something in their life. I strive to be a curious listener rather than offer directions to a place I have never been. By this I mean to say that you are the expert of what it is like to be you. I am here first to ask and learn. Your needs will be assessed and an individualized treatment plan developed. If I feel I can not offer you what you are in need of, I’ll let you know. A little self disclosure: I am originally from Utah and grew up in a strong LDS household. I am currently not active and understand experiencing a “faith transition”. I will never use my own personal beliefs to sway another person as that is unethical. I will meet each individual in their own context, beliefs, and goals so their experiences and desires are highlighted by the therapy process. I am married and have been for 20 years. We have two teenage children. I use every part of my life and professional experience to better my therapeutic skill set. I do not have to work but choose to work because being a therapist is an innate part of who I am. I keep a strong work / life balance. I believe that if I am not mentally and emotionally healthy I can not likely help another pursue their own health, especially if it surpasses my own. Any intervention or technique I may ask you to try I have first tried it myself. Some of my favorite books are: Braving the Wilderness by Brene Brown The Coddling of the American Mind by Greg Lukianoff Come as You Are by Emily Nagoski Driven to Distraction by Edward Hallowell Love for Imperfect Things by Heamin Sunim Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents by Linsday C. Gisbon Self-Compassion by Kristen Neff Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Tribole The Second Mountain by David Brooks Good Morning, I love you by Shauna Shapior Waking Up by Sam Harris
