Trauma-Informed Therapy for Adults Seeking Authentic, Lasting Change
Hi, I’m Cody
If you’re here, something in your life may feel unsettled. You might be feeling anxious, stuck, overwhelmed, or simply aware that something isn’t quite working the way you’d like.
Therapy offers space to slow down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and move toward a life that feels more aligned and meaningful.
I help adults reconnect with themselves after years of adapting to environments, expectations, or experiences that shaped who they thought they had to be.
I Often Work With Adults Who Are:
Navigating anxiety, perfectionism, or persistent self-criticism
Healing from trauma or experiences that continue to carry emotional weight
Rebuilding after non-affirming or high-demand environments
Exploring identity, authenticity, and belonging
Seeking deeper, intentional therapy rather than quick solutions
You don’t need to fit a specific category to reach out. If something feels out of alignment, that’s enough.
Therapy That Respects Your Experience
You may have learned to adapt in order to keep the peace, meet expectations, or fit into environments that did not always leave room for your full self. Over time, that can show up as anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, or a quiet sense of disconnection.
Therapy gives us space to slow that down. Together, we look at how patterns developed, why they made sense at the time, and how they may still be shaping your life now. From there, we decide what still fits and what you want to move toward next.
Many adults who reach out are looking for deeper, more intentional work rather than quick solutions.
What working Together is Like
Therapy with me is steady, collaborative, and focused. We slow down enough to understand what is happening beneath the surface and move at a pace that allows meaningful work to unfold.
Working together often includes:
A thoughtful, collaborative pace that respects your autonomy
Insight-oriented conversations that help you see patterns more clearly
Trauma-informed care that supports emotional safety
Space to explore identity, meaning, and direction without judgment
You are not reduced to a diagnosis. Therapy is a space where your experience is taken seriously and growth happens through greater self-understanding.
Trauma Therapy and EMDR
Many adults I work with are healing from trauma, including religious trauma, attachment wounds, and experiences that continue to carry weight in daily life.
I integrate EMDR as part of trauma-informed therapy when it supports the work. EMDR helps distressing experiences feel less intrusive over time by allowing your nervous system to respond differently.
We begin by building stability and move forward intentionally so the process feels steady rather than rushed.
LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy
I work with LGBTQ+ adults across identities and experiences.
My clinical work includes extensive experience supporting gay men navigating identity, relationships, and life after non-affirming or high-pressure environments. Therapy is a space where your identity is understood as part of your lived experience, not something you need to explain or justify.
Together, we explore what has shaped you and what feels aligned moving forward.
What to Expect
Starting therapy doesn’t need to feel complicated. We move through the process step by step at a pace that feels clear and manageable.
Start with a Consultation
We begin with a brief 15-minute consultation to see whether working together feels like a good fit.
Initial Assessment
If we decide to move forward, we schedule an initial assessment to better understand your goals and concerns.
Ongoing Therapy
From there, we begin ongoing individual sessions, typically 50 minutes, focused on the work we identify together.
Sessions are available in person in Salt Lake City and via secure telehealth throughout Utah.
