Individual therapy for adults in Utah
I provide virtual mental health counseling to adults throughout Utah. Whether you're in Salt Lake City, Utah County, Southern Utah, or a smaller community, you can access individual therapy from the privacy and convenience of your own space.
The expectations we carry about ourselves can influence so much of how we experience life. Maybe you feel responsible for keeping things together, have difficulty disappointing people, or find yourself questioning decisions even when you know what matters to you. Sometimes these patterns are so familiar that we don't recognize how much energy they require.
In our work together, we'll make space to examine these expectations without assuming they're necessarily wrong or need to disappear. My approach is collaborative and curious, drawing on both present-day experiences and what you've learned along the way. The goal is to help you develop greater flexibility, self-understanding, and confidence in how you navigate your life.
Areas where therapy can help
Life can become difficult in ways that aren't always obvious to the people around us. You might be managing your responsibilities, maintaining relationships, and getting through your days while privately struggling with how you're feeling. These are some of the concerns we can explore together.
-
When self-doubt, perfectionism, persistent worry, or fear of making the wrong decision leaves you second-guessing yourself or struggling to relax.
-
When you're feeling disconnected from yourself or others, struggling to find direction, or noticing that daily life has become more about getting through than engaging with it.
-
When difficulty setting boundaries, expressing needs, navigating disagreement, or trusting yourself in relationships keeps creating distance or dissatisfaction.
-
When you've become accustomed to pushing through, meeting expectations, or prioritizing responsibilities while your own needs increasingly go unattended.
-
When past experiences continue to shape what feels threatening, how you perceive yourself, or what you anticipate from other people and relationships.
-
When your inner dialogue is dominated by criticism, comparison, or expectations about who you should be, making it difficult to trust, accept, or appreciate yourself.
How we'll approach the work
Our experiences shape what we come to expect from ourselves, other people, and the world around us. Over time, some of those expectations become automatic. Therapy gives us an opportunity to explore what's happening beneath familiar thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while also building the capacity to respond differently. I integrate several approaches depending on what we're working toward together.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT supports learning to make room for difficult internal experiences while developing the flexibility to act in ways that reflect your own values and priorities.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR helps us identify and process experiences that may have shaped beliefs about ourselves, our safety, or our relationships and continue to influence the present.
Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)
DBR gently explores the earliest body-based responses to perceived threat or disruption, creating space to process reactions that arise before conscious thought.
Positive Psychology
Positive Psychology encourages us to recognize and cultivate the experiences, relationships, strengths, and everyday practices that contribute to a meaningful and satisfying life.
Frequently asked questions
-
No. I offer virtual counseling to adults throughout Utah, including Salt Lake City, Provo, Orem, Ogden, Logan, Park City, St. George, and smaller communities across the state. You'll need to be physically located in Utah at the time of your appointment.
-
You don't need a particular diagnosis, a major life event, or a clearly defined problem to consider therapy. You might simply be noticing patterns in how you feel, think, or relate to others that you'd like to understand or change. We can explore what's bringing you in and whether my approach seems like a good fit.
-
That's something we can work on together. Our preferences, needs, and values can sometimes become difficult to distinguish from the expectations we've absorbed along the way. Therapy can offer space to get curious about what's important to you, without requiring that you arrive with all the answers.
-
Absolutely. Relationships are often one of the places where our learned patterns become most apparent. We can explore how you respond to closeness, disagreement, rejection, or other interpersonal experiences, even if the other people involved aren't participating in therapy. I provide individual counseling rather than couples therapy.
-
Both approaches can be adapted for virtual sessions. EMDR has an established evidence base, including research on remote delivery, while DBR is a newer approach with a growing but more limited research base. We'll discuss how each works, whether it's appropriate for your concerns, and what might help you feel comfortable participating online.
-
My Rates page explains session fees, payment options, and how out-of-network reimbursement may work. Insurance benefits can vary by plan, so I encourage you to review that information before scheduling. I'm also happy to answer questions about payment during our initial conversation.
Find a little more room to be yourself.
You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out. If you're ready to examine what's been shaping your experiences and explore new ways of responding, I'd welcome the opportunity to talk about whether working together might be a good fit.
