Individual therapy that puts you first
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
-
I focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and tailor it to meet your unique needs. My practice focuses on evidence-supported, results-driven therapy to help you achieve meaningful and sustainable change.
CBT at Good Growth Therapy is a collaborative process aimed at identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that impact your well-being. I bring a compassionate and personalized approach to therapy, empowering you to develop practical skills to manage challenges and improve mental health.
Whether you're coping with anxiety, depression, or seeking personal growth, CBT can provide you with effective tools to enhance your resilience and quality of life. I'm committed to supporting you on your journey toward greater emotional and psychological well-being.
Play Therapy
-
I understand the power of play in fostering emotional and psychological well-being. Play therapy sessions are designed to help people express their feelings, explore their thoughts, and develop coping strategies in a safe and supportive environment.
With a unique background in snowboarding and skateboarding, I bring an adventurous and engaging approach to play therapy. Located in the beautiful landscapes of Utah, I incorporate elements of outdoor activities to create a dynamic and enjoyable therapeutic experience.
Through play, individuals can navigate their emotions, build self-esteem, and develop problem-solving skills. Sessions are tailored to each individual's interests and needs, ensuring a personalized and effective therapeutic journey.
Whether it's through traditional play techniques or integrating the excitement of action sports, Good Growth Therapy is dedicated to helping individuals thrive and grow. Join us in a journey of discovery, healing, and fun.
Mindfulness
-
Mindfulness-based therapy offers a path to inner peace and growth. Good Growth's practice embraces the transformative power of mindfulness to cultivate awareness, presence, and emotional resilience.
Mindfulness-based therapy integrates traditional therapeutic approaches with mindfulness practices, such as meditation and mindful breathing. These techniques help you develop a deeper understanding of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, fostering a greater sense of clarity and well-being.
I provide a nurturing and non-judgmental environment where you can explore mindfulness techniques tailored to your needs. Whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, or simply seeking to enhance your overall quality of life, mindfulness-based therapy can empower you to cultivate a more balanced and fulfilling existence.
I believe that mindfulness is not just a practice—it's a pathway to healing, self-discovery, and personal transformation.

60% of the success of therapy depends on your relationship with your therapist…
…Which means you need a therapist you can trust and relate to.
Research in psychotherapy has shown that the the bond between a therapist and client, mutual agreement on therapy goals, and collaboration on tasks are crucial for positive outcomes.
Factors such as trust, empathy, and understanding within the therapist-client relationship can greatly influence the success of the therapeutic process, sometimes even more than specific therapeutic techniques or interventions.
I take the time and care to get to know you and ensure I’m best supporting your goals and self-growth.
