Therapy for Teens, Parents, and Young Adults in Midvale, Salt Lake County, and Utah

Support for anxiety, depression, family conflict, oppositional behavior, identity concerns, and trauma. My integrative approach blends mindfulness, somatic tools, and practical strategies to help families rebuild trust, communication, and emotional stability.

Start Small — No Pressure, Just Clarity

Therapy is a big commitment — you don’t have to rush in. Here are two soft ways to begin:

Free Initial Consultation (30 min)
A relaxed space to ask questions and get a feel for the work.

$50 Intro Session (60 min)
A full session to experience my approach and see if it resonates.
Available for self-pay clients only (insurance rates cannot be adjusted).

Both options are designed to support clarity — without forcing anything.

Areas of Practice

  • Parenting a teen through conflict, anxiety, shutdown, or big transitions can feel like walking on eggshells. Whether they’re returning home from treatment, struggling with motivation, or pushing every boundary, the pressure to “get it right” becomes overwhelming.

    Most therapy focuses only on communication. I help you go deeper.

    Here, you’ll learn to regulate first, lead from grounded confidence, and respond instead of react. Together we focus on:

    • Understanding your nervous system triggers

    • Clarifying expectations so you’re not micromanaging out of fear

    • Rebuilding trust with your teen — and with yourself

    • Knowing when to step in and when to step back

    • Supporting accountability without shame or power struggles

    You don’t need to reinvent yourself — you just need a steadier foundation to lead from.

  • Being a teen today might feel like living under a spotlight — pressure from school, parents, social media, and constant comparison. Add in anxiety, conflict at home, legal involvement, or feeling misunderstood, and everything gets heavier.

    This is a space without labels or judgment — just honesty, support, and direction.

    Together we’ll:

    • Sort through the stress, confusion, and expectations

    • Build practical tools to handle emotions and pressure

    • Identify goals that actually matter to you

    • Strengthen your ability to trust your own voice

    • Navigate family conflict without losing yourself

    • Shift “oppositional” patterns by getting underneath what’s really going on

    This is therapy that helps you show up with clarity, confidence, and self-respect — not just survive the week.

  • Stepping into adulthood means navigating identity, independence, relationships, and pressure from every direction. It’s easy to lose your center trying to keep up or live up to expectations you never chose.

    Here, we slow down, get honest, and uncover what actually matters.

    Together we do the work of:

    • Understanding the patterns that keep you stuck

    • Building emotional stability and self-trust

    • Making decisions from clarity, not anxiety

    • Untangling old beliefs so you can choose your own path

    • Finding direction that feels aligned — not performative

    This is about becoming the person you’re growing into, not the version others expect.

What to Expect

  • We’ll start with a brief phone or video call to talk through what’s bringing you in, answer questions, and see if it feels like a good fit. No pressure, just a chance to connect.

  • Our first session goes deeper into your story, current challenges, and what you’d like to shift. Together, we’ll set initial goals and begin creating a plan that feels doable and supportive.

  • No cookie-cutter therapy here. Whether it’s somatic practices, mindfulness, parent coaching, or nature-based sessions, we’ll shape the work around what actually fits your life and your nervous system.

  • Therapy is both grounding and forward-moving. Along the way, you’ll learn practical tools, deepen self-understanding, and have a steady space to process, grow, and integrate lasting change.
