ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Bountiful, UT

I’m Chris.

I enjoy helping others with the challenges of daily living. I am interested in what motivates people and helping them modify behavior patterns. People aren't broken, they are doing perfectly that which they would like to do differently. I enjoy helping people grow and change, moving to the next level they desire. I have degrees in psychology and mental health counseling. I have been helping people find relieve from fear, pain, and discomfort for more than 20 years.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) providing compassionate, evidence-based care to adolescents and adults. My approach blends clinical expertise with a collaborative, patient-centered philosophy, I believe treatment works best when you feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your care.

I earned my graduate degree in psychiatric-mental health nursing from Northern Kentucky University and have experience treating a wide range of conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, trauma-related conditions, mood disorders, and medication management for complex psychiatric presentations. My background includes working with individuals navigating life transitions, high-achieving professionals experiencing burnout, and patients seeking thoughtful, personalized medication management.

I specialize in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management, with a focus on clarity, safety, and long-term stability. I aim to avoid overmedication while ensuring symptoms are effectively treated. When appropriate, I integrate supportive therapy techniques into sessions to help patients build insight, resilience, and practical coping strategies.

My practice is fully telehealth-based, allowing for convenient, private access to care. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable discussing what’s really going on — without judgment — and to work together toward meaningful, sustainable improvement in your mental health.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and practical. I pull from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you understand patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, but I also lean into a humanistic style, meaning I see you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or a set of symptoms.

I believe therapy should feel like a safe, judgment-free space where you can show up as you are. Whether we’re exploring your relationships, working through anxiety or depression, or identifying what really matters to you, my goal is to support your growth with curiosity, care, and clarity.

I also value realness, I’ll challenge you when it’s helpful, offer insight when you're stuck, and celebrate the progress you might overlook. You're the expert on your life; I’m here to help you reconnect with that truth and build the kind of change that lasts.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who works with adults and provides integrated mental health care that combines psychotherapy and medication management. My work is solution-oriented, empowering, and open-minded, with a focus on helping clients move beyond symptom management and toward meaningful, lasting change.

My style is warm, grounded, and direct. I value collaboration and curiosity, and I approach care as a partnership rather than something that is done to you. I aim to support clients while also encouraging them to take an active role in understanding their patterns, building resilience, and reclaiming their mental and emotional health.

I am your partner in whole-person healing, and I am now accepting new patients. With nearly two decades of diverse nursing experience, my background spans psychiatry, oncology, palliative care, intensive care, hospice, and home health. This journey has given me a deep understanding of both physical and emotional health challenges.

I am known for building genuine connections with patients across all age groups. My approach is rooted in the belief that mental health is inseparable from physical well-being. I often view mental health symptoms not as disorders, but as signals of deeper imbalances—and I treat them with compassion and curiosity.

I have been in the mental health industry since 2005. I launched into this career as a mental health professional eager to learn and excited to make an impact in our society and culture. I have been blessed to learn so many different modalities that truly bring healing to those who are willing to risk vulnerability and live to their greatest potential. On this journey I have been able to work with a variety of ages and backgrounds. They have all one thing in common- finding their way back to their authentic selves. I am blessed to have been able to accompany so many people on their healing journeys.

I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner doctorally trained at the University of Utah, with eight years of mental healthcare experience including a year-long fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry.

I primarily work with children and teens, but also love meeting with young adults, parents, and fellow healthcare workers.

Outside of work, I love spending time in the mountains with my husband, son and very hyper dog.

I am a seasoned therapist with over a decade of experience in child welfare, multisystemic therapy (MST), and crisis intervention for both children and adults. I offer person-centered and trauma-informed interventions that include strengths-focused and mindfulness-based practices. As a radical social and racial justice allied therapist, my approach is rooted in a decolonial mindset, ensuring therapy is free of spiritual bypassing and toxic positivity, focusing on genuine healing and empowerment.

I have worked in therapeutic foster care, homeless services, and residential inpatient treatment for mental health and substance abuse disorder. My experience working in community mental health with both men and adolescents, veterans, LGBTQIA+ and an extensive background in serving individuals struggling with addiction - I am confident in being able to assist with helping you navigate and achieve your goals.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience supporting adolescents, college students, and adults of all ages navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, OCD, and life transitions. I use evidence-based therapies including CBT, ACT, DBT, and mindfulness to help clients develop practical tools for emotional regulation and follow-through.
