Meadowbrook CounselingTaylorsville, Utah

They may want relief from emotional distress, clarity around patterns that no longer serve them, and practical tools to feel more grounded and in control. Together, we focus on building effective coping strategies, fostering self-compassion, and supporting meaningful, lasting change through a holistic, client-centered approach rooted in empathy and evidence-based care. I bring six years of experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings and am a dedicated Certified Social Worker. I completed my undergraduate and graduate degrees at Utah Valley University and use evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, trauma-informed care, and EMDR for trauma healing. I believe healing happens in a supportive, collaborative space where you feel safe, heard, and respected. Together, we can explore your emotions at your own pace, build resilience, and work toward meaningful, lasting change, helping you feel more balanced, empowered, and supported in your everyday life.

I am trained in trauma-informed therapy, including EMDR, and draw on my knowledge of healthy childhood development to understand how early experiences and family dynamics shape present-day emotions, behaviors, and relationships. My academic journey began with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics, which sharpened my ability to analyze complex relational dynamics with clarity—skills I now bring into the therapy room to support meaningful change. I help clients understand and heal the underlying experiences that drive emotional distress, behavioral challenges, and relationship patterns. Using trauma-informed therapy, including EMDR, I work with children, individuals, couples, and families to process past experiences, strengthen emotional regulation, and build healthier ways of relating. I am committed to creating a compassionate, supportive space where clients of all ages feel truly seen and heard. Whether supporting children, parents, or adults who feel stuck in the past, we can gently explore challenges, honor strengths, and work toward healthier relationships and a more balanced, meaningful life.

My journey began as a Protestant minister in South Carolina, where I gained a deep understanding of couples' issues, grief, and life's many challenges. As my career evolved, I made the transition into clinical practice, earning my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University, a pivotal moment that marked a successful shift in my career path. My expertise lies in couples counseling, supported by my Gottman 1 certification. I also work closely with individuals grappling with anxiety, depression, and various other challenges. While my theoretical approach leans towards cognitive behavioral therapy, I'm always open to integrating other methodologies tailored to each client's unique needs. Whether it's positive psychology, dialectical behavioral therapy, or person-centered strategies, I adapt to ensure the best possible outcomes for my clients. Beyond the office, you'll often find me seeking solace in nature. Whether it's mountain biking in the rugged terrain or hiking through serene landscapes, I find immense joy and peace in the great outdoors. Family is at the center of my life, and I've been married to my wife La'ai for three decades. Together, we're accompanied by our three young adult children, who have joined us in our relocation to the Salt Lake area. I warmly extend an invitation to embark on a therapeutic journey of self-discovery with me. My mission is to help you find the peace, joy, love, and fulfillment your heart desires. Schedule an appointment today, and together, let's take the first step towards a brighter tomorrow.

My background includes specialized training in the many dimensions of women’s health. I also have experience supporting individuals of all genders, ages, and backgrounds through various mental health challenges. I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Brigham Young University. For ten years, I worked closely with teenagers with learning disorders. As part of my master’s program, I have had the privilege of working with individuals of all ages, from young children to older adults, and have developed a strong focus on helping children and families navigate behavioral challenges, trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, grief, and other life transitions. In therapy, I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-informed practices, Family and Couples Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Each person’s journey is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs and goals. As a therapist, I am positive and supportive as I create a space with you to support healing, growth, and connection. My goal is to empower you to become the best version of yourself while supporting you in building stronger, healthier relationships in your family, friends, and community.

My goal is getting to the root of the present challenge to support lasting change so people can experience the well-being they deserve as a human right! I take an integrative, compassionate, and accepting approach to meeting people where they are at, focusing on experiential, emotion focused, IFS, EMDR, EFT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, psychodynamic, and person-centered approaches to help people heal. I collaborate with clients to create meaning and draw out authentic living. Viewing things with a trauma-informed & attachment lens to look at relationships, I find, is paramount in supporting healing; we are wounded in relationships and heal in them. I have training in EMDR, EFT, & IFS which is effective in processing life upsets & supporting the nervous system. I have experience working in the LGBTQ+ community & am LGBTQ+ affirming. I really care about people’s individual well-being, and I care about the health of people’s relationships through couples counseling. I am passionate and feel honored to be a part of people’s personal inner worlds and view things in the words of Krishnamurti, “Truth is a pathless land,” and I want you to live your truth. I look forward to sharing your journey!

Sometimes past experiences and expectations muddy our sense of identity and prevent us from seeing who we truly are. The quicker we are able to clear this fog, the sooner we are able to develop the inner peace that comes from living authentically.
