If anger, depression, or anxiety is impacting your life, you will gain insight and learn new and more productive ways to cope with and manage your emotions.

If you are interested in pre-marital, marriage, or couples counseling, I utilize the Gottman Method of Couples Therapy, which is based on the research by Dr. John Gottman that began in the 1970's and continues to this day. From this research, a method of therapy was created that emphasizes a "nuts-and-bolts" approach to improving your relationship. This method is designed to help teach specific tools to deepen friendship and intimacy in your relationship. To help you productively manage conflicts, you will be given methods to manage problems and gridlocked (or perpetual) issues. We will work together to help you appreciate your relationship's strengths and to gently navigate through its vulnerabilities.

I worked for the State of Utah as a Family Preservation Therapist (PFP) from June 2004 to July 2008. I was part of a team whose services were court ordered. The primary task was to intervene with families whose children were involved with the juvenile justice system. My task was to engage any person or community partner who could assist the family and adolescent achieve success. The goal was to avoid further involvement in the juvenile justice system. Community partners included, judges, probation officers, extended family members, teachers, school counselors, religious members. Anyone who might be enlisted to help the family and provide support was included as a member of the family team. This was an expensive intervention and the program ran out of money. I then went to work as a caseworker for the Oquirrh Region of the Division of Child and Family Services. There I worked with families who were referred for services by teachers, law enforcement, or concerned citizens. The position lasted until 2008. At that time, I left state employment and took time off because of my own health concerns. I returned to work as a private practitioner. I have been self employed since October 2009.

People seek counseling for a variety of reasons- often because they feel “stuck” in a painful pattern they want to change. Therapy can help you maintain wellness, manage health challenges or the effects of chronic stress. My aim is to help you sustain vibrancy in your life and relationships by overcoming symptoms and stressors that distract from peak performance. Common issues for therapy are related to depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, addictions, grief and loss, and adjustment to life transitions such as physical illness, marriage, parenthood, divorce, and separation. Therapy is a proven method of relief and offers an opportunity for deep personal insight and growth. At Park City Counseling, I work with adults and couples who aspire to happy, healthy living.
