Anxiety, depression & overwhelm
Anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, self-esteem, stress, burnout, and the feeling that you are holding too much together.
Every way we work, in one place.
The right approach depends on who’s in the room and what you’re carrying. Here’s each way I work, with a plain page for every one, so you can find the fit before you ever pick up the phone.
What I help with
You can start with what feels hard.
You do not need the right diagnosis or the name of a therapy approach before you reach out. These are some of the reasons people come in, and they often overlap.
Trauma, grief & change
Trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, divorce, adoption, and life transitions that have shifted the ground beneath you.
ADHD, autism & growing up
Neurodiversity-affirming support for ADHD and autism, along with behavioral concerns, school struggles, and peer relationships.
Chronic illness, pain & caregiving
The emotional weight of autoimmune disorders, chronic illness or pain, caregiving, medical uncertainty, and the exhaustion that can come with them.
LGBTQIA+ affirming care
A welcoming place for bisexual, gay, lesbian, transgender, queer, and questioning clients to bring identity, relationships, family, or anything else that matters.
Families, parenting & addiction
Parenting stress, family conflict, a child whose behavior is hard to understand, or the ways substance use and addiction affect you and the people you love.

The things people ask first
How do I know which kind of therapy I need?
You do not need to choose between EMDR, ACT, play therapy, or another approach before you call. Start with what feels hard (anxiety, grief, identity, chronic illness, parenting, school, burnout, or something you cannot quite name) and what you hope will feel different. I will recommend an approach after I understand the fuller picture, and we can adjust it as the work unfolds.
Do I need a diagnosis to start therapy?
No. A diagnosis can sometimes give people useful language, but it is not a requirement for reaching out or doing meaningful work. You can come in with a pattern you have noticed, a change you are struggling with, or simply the sense that life has become harder to carry.
What if I fit more than one of these areas?
Most people do. Anxiety can sit beside chronic illness, grief can live inside a transition, and parenting stress can tangle with burnout. The list is a set of starting points, not boxes you have to fit inside. We will make room for the whole picture and decide together where to begin.
Can therapy combine more than one approach?
Yes. The service pages describe the main approaches I use, not separate boxes you have to stay inside. A course of therapy might draw from ACT, EMDR, conversation, and practical skills at different moments, depending on what helps and what you are ready for.
Do you offer both in-person and online therapy?
Yes. I meet with clients in person at Trolley Corner in Salt Lake City and by secure video anywhere in Utah. Most adult and teen work can happen either way; play therapy for younger children takes place in person because the room and materials are part of the work.
What happens on the free first call?
It is a 15-minute conversation with no obligation to book. You can tell me what brings you in, ask about fit, fees, scheduling, or insurance, and get a straightforward recommendation about the best place to start, including a referral elsewhere if I am not the right fit.
Still deciding?
Start with who therapy is for.
You do not need to know the name of an approach. Begin with the page that sounds most like you, and we can sort out the method together.
