Providing Life-Changing  Couples & Individual Therapy  in Salt Lake City, Utah & Virginia Offering Virtual Therapy in Virginia

From hopeless and dark to empowered and illuminated

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?

You and your partner feel more like roommates. Your communication with your partner and family is falling apart. You're feeling riddled with depression and anxiety and don' t know how to move forward. Pick the door that fits where you are today.  Once I can see where you are, I can best help you find the way back to where you want to be.  The rest sorts itself out once we are in the room.

Several paths into a world of healing, change and empowerment.

Couples Therapy

I help you understand each other. I identify the faulty patterns and replace them with effective ones. I utilize a direction-based approach and goals are made in the first session with the aim to name the pattern by session three.

Communication & Relationship Wellness

The words aren't landing.  You're like ships in the night.  Here, we rebuild the conversation - how you speak, how you listen, and how you stay connected when it matters most.  I use Gottman-based tools to replace criticism and shutdown with skills that help you feel heard, understood, and on the same team again.  We work towards a uniform direction to get the relationship to a healthier, invigorated stronger place.

Pre-Marital

What is the next step for your relationship? You want to make sure you are both on the same page before the wedding or moving in. I will work with you on expectations, finances, family, and the patterns you don't want to inherit. Utilizing Gottman therapy, I will guide you to discuss your fears, anxieties as well as your excitement for the next step.

Infidelity Recovery

The relationship has been nuked.  You don' t know if you can trust each other or yourself again.  Here, I help you reconnect emotionally and rebuild trust after betrayal with a structured path forward.  We utilize honest conversations, accountability, and skills to repair at a pace that holds.  Recovery is more than possible.

Intimacy

Your sex life has lost its fire.  The emotional closeness isn't what it used to be.  Here, I help you reconnect emotionally, physically, and sexually.  You will close the gap that has quietly widened and rebuild the closeness you both want.  I guide you to open up to one another, fueling the emotional, physical and sexual connection you've missed for so long.
