About My Clients
My ideal clients are adults who know something needs to change but can't seem to make it stick — people who feel stuck in patterns of self-sabotage, chronic anxiety, unprocessed trauma, or grief that won't lift. I work especially well with people who've tried to "figure it out" on their own and are ready to go deeper. My clients want to collaborate with their therapist and actively work toward unraveling their core issues while building real change in the present.
My Background and Approach
I'm a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with an MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University. I'm also EMDRIA-trained in EMDR and have completed IFS Basic Training, which means I bring more than talk therapy to the work. I specialize in trauma, self-sabotage, anxiety, depression, grief, and religious trauma. What that looks like in practice: I help people understand why they keep doing the thing they know isn't working — and actually change it, not just manage it. For clients who want their faith integrated into the therapeutic process, I also offer Christian counseling. I work with adults in person in Murray, Utah, and via telehealth throughout the state. If you've been carrying something heavy for a while and are ready to do something about it, let's chat.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I started Lionheart Counseling because I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation — not a clinical transaction. I'm a person of faith, and that shapes how I see people: every person who walks into my office carries inherent worth and the capacity for genuine change, no matter how stuck they feel. I care deeply about clients who've been let down — by systems, by people who should have protected them, by their own patterns. A lot of my work is with people who've been carrying something heavy for a long time and have started to wonder if anything will ever really shift. I believe it can. I'm also passionate about making therapy accessible to people across Utah, which is part of why I offer telehealth statewide. Healing shouldn't be limited by geography or a packed schedule. Outside the office, I'm a husband, a father, a writer, and a day-dreamer. In my free time I'm either with my family, or involved in my community, or day-dreaming about my next book to write.
