About

My approach to therapy is practical, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. Treatment is tailored to your individual needs, experiences, and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, trauma, and difficult past experiences. Therapy may focus on understanding the connections among thoughts, emotions, past experiences, and the body's stress response, while developing practical strategies to reduce distress and create meaningful change.

Depending on your needs, I may incorporate EMDR therapy, cognitive and behavioral approaches, trauma-focused interventions, psychoeducation, and practical coping and emotion-regulation strategies.

At A Sound Mind Counseling, my goal is to provide a supportive and practical therapy experience that goes beyond simply talking about problems. Together, we work toward understanding what's happening, developing useful skills, addressing underlying concerns, and helping you move forward with greater calm, resilience, and confidence.

I also provide couples counseling for partners seeking support with communication, conflict, emotional connection, and recurring relationship patterns.

Online therapy is available throughout Utah.

How I Can Help: Anxiety, Trauma & EMDR Therapy 

I provide online therapy for adults throughout Utah, with a primary focus on anxiety, chronic stress, trauma, and EMDR therapy. Treatment is personalized to your individual needs, experiences, and goals, with an emphasis on practical strategies, emotional regulation, and meaningful change. 

Online Anxiety Therapy for Adults in Utah

Anxiety can affect much more than your thoughts. It can influence your breathing, heart rate, sleep, concentration, muscle tension, and overall sense of safety. Anxiety therapy can help you understand the anxiety cycle, recognize triggers, calm your nervous system, and develop practical strategies for responding differently to anxious thoughts and physical sensations.

Trauma & EMDR Therapy in Utah

Past experiences can continue to affect how you think, feel, and respond long after the experience itself has ended. As an EMDR-trained therapist, I use EMDR and other trauma-informed approaches to help clients process difficult experiences, reduce emotional distress, and develop healthier responses to reminders and triggers. 

Panic Attack, Anxiety & Stress Therapy

Panic attacks, chronic anxiety, and prolonged stress can create powerful physical sensations that may leave you wondering whether something is seriously wrong. Therapy can help you understand the connection between anxiety and your nervous system, recognize patterns that maintain panic and stress, and develop practical strategies for helping your mind and body return to a calmer state.

Online Counseling for Couples in Utah

Relationship difficulties often involve patterns of communication and conflict that can become difficult to change on your own. With Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level 2 training, I help couples identify unhealthy patterns, improve communication, manage conflict more effectively, strengthen emotional connection, and build healthier relationships.
