First, let me acknowledge and admire your courage in taking the first step in your personal healing journey.
I lovingly work with people of all genders and orientations, ethnicities, races, and religions. I kindly offer individual, couples, and family therapy. Some of my areas of specialty include: anxiety, depression, postpartum depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, eating disorders, low self esteem, parenting challenges, ADHD, ODD, adolescents, relationship/marital issues, infertility, self harm, grief, trauma/abuse, substance use/abuse, and issues related to transgender/gender non-conforming individuals .
I understand that making the initial call, and attending the first therapy session, can be a frightening prospect. Knowing this, my primary objective is that you leave your first session feeling understood, accepted and validated. I am a firm believer that my ability to help you feel emotionally safe is key to a successful therapeutic relationship.
I know it is vital to your success to talk openly without feeling judged. I also understand that for people to make lasting change they need to be motivated out of love, not fear.
Having been in practice for over 15 years, I have extensive experience working with a wide variety of individuals and issues. I have extensive experience in intake interviewing and assessments for various needs.

Everyone can grow and learn from therapy which makes your step to healing powerful. My goal is to be a helpful part of that journey. As a Trans-male, my experience also includes the LBGTQIA+ community. I follow WPATH standards and state requirements to be qualified to help you, whether you are an adult or a teenager. I focus on transitions, whether that is gender, religion, or life in general.
​
My approach is individualized with the use of CBT, Mindfulness, EMDR, and/or Gestalt. I have also had many years of experience working with children, particularly with Autism and ADHD. I have training in play therapy, ABA techniques, and other child-focused techniques. Let me help you transition to a better future.

I have a deep passion for working with people and helping them understand themselves.
I have several years of experience working with adolescents and families in crisis. I am versed in suicide assessment and prevention for both adolescents and adults. I am committed to being there to help you understand your worth and guiding you toward finding your purpose.
I advocate extensively for the LGBTQ+ community and am an active advocate in both Salt Lake County and Utah County, not to mention wherever I go! I follow WPATH standards and keep up to date on all information disseminated by the LGBT Affirmative Therapists Guild of Utah.
I believe strongly that self-love and self-respect are the solid basis for good mental and emotional health.
I work from a person-centered approach, believing that each client can be the expert in their own life. I am enthusiastic about helping clients explore what possibilities for what the future holds!

Life can be challenging and can sometimes get in the way of our happiness. This can lead to problems that can be difficult to work through on our own. I work with clients to resolve these problems by utilizing their strengths and resources. I also provide different perspectives and therapeutic modalities to achieve each client’s individualized goals. I am a trans-man and I have a lot of experience with people who are part of the transgender/gender non-conforming community. I am very familiar with the steps to get surgery as well as what recovery for surgery looks like. I am also well versed in letters for gender affirming surgeries.
​
I specialize in trauma, gender dysphoria, anxiety, depression, OCD, and low self-esteem. I am trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I provide a nonjudgmental and supportive space for client’s to utilize the skills and resources within themselves to overcome the challenges they face.
​
Having been in practice for almost a decade, I have extensive experience working with a wide variety of individuals and issues. I offer afternoon and evening appointments. I know therapy can be a scary step, so I do encourage email communication regarding the therapy process, your questions, and any concerns you may have to help support you in this journey.
