About UMFT

Our Mission, Therapists & Values

About Us

UMFT began with a clear mission: to raise the standard of care for marriage and family therapy in Utah. We saw a gap. Too many clinics were using outdated, one-size-fits-all approaches to couples therapy—methods that don’t reflect what actually works. So we built something better. UMFT is grounded in systemic, evidence-based care that respects the complexity of relationships and creates lasting change. Our goal is bigger than support. We’re here to reshape the field through ethical, effective therapy and hands-on training for the next generation of therapists.

I’m here to help you strengthen your relationships and navigate life’s challenges with a compassionate, research-backed approach. I specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Attachment Theory, and the Gottman Method to support couples and individuals working through connection barriers, trust issues, infidelity, faith transitions, communication struggles, anxiety, and depression. Every step of the process is tailored to your unique needs—because no two journeys are the same.
