Specialized & Affirming Counseling Services
At Finch’s Nest, clients receive personalized mental health therapy tailored to their unique journey. My mission is to provide a grounded, safe space for individuals 12 and up in Utah, specializing in LGBTQ+ affirmation, trauma recovery, and comprehensive gender-related support.
Ready To Begin Your Healing Journey?
I understand the importance of partnering with a provider who truly gets it. My practice combines clinical training—like EMDR for trauma—with authentic, lived experience to create a highly affirming alliance. I focus on specialized support for complex issues like Gender Dysphoria, PTSD, anxiety, and depression, helping you build a stable foundation for lasting growth and greater well-being.
Specialized Focus Areas at Finch’s Nest
LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy & Gender Identity
Dedicated individual therapy focusing on the unique challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ population, particularly trans and gender non-conforming individuals (ages 12+). This is a space of acceptance and affirmation for exploring identity, navigating coming out, managing gender dysphoria, and building authentic self-expression. I prioritize using gender-affirming language and maintaining a safe, knowledgeable environment where your identity is celebrated.
Trauma and PTSD Recovery (EMDR Trained)
I specialize in helping clients heal from various forms of trauma, including acute events and Complex PTSD. I utilize advanced, evidence-based modalities like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help process distressing memories, significantly reducing their emotional impact and allowing you to integrate these experiences in a healthy way. This grounded approach helps you move past the survival phase into genuine thriving.
Gender Affirming Care Support & Documentation
I provide comprehensive support for individuals pursuing medical and social transition goals. This includes providing mental health assessments and documentation (Surgery/Hormone Letters) needed for medical providers in Utah. My unique perspective, informed by lived experience as a trans man, ensures this documentation process is handled efficiently, respectfully, and knowledgeably, connecting you to the best resources for your care.
Anxiety, Depression, and Mood Management
I provide effective strategies for managing symptoms of debilitating anxiety, persistent depression, and general mood regulation difficulties. My work incorporates techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other proven models, focusing on identifying underlying causes, developing robust coping skills, challenging negative thought patterns, and restoring a sense of stability and emotional control in your daily life.
