Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Centerville, UT

I strive to be warm, approachable, easy to talk to, and an excellent listener. I am not here to judge you. I am a mother of three children who are all grown up and I’ve experienced more than my fair share of life challenges. I don’t recommend any treatments or practices that I myself have not used.

Hi I'm Blair, a licensed clinical social worker with experience in behavioral health, residential, and community-based settings. My work is rooted in a relational, intuitive approach, with a strong focus on the connection between mind and body. I care a lot about helping people reconnect, with themselves, their bodies, and the world around them. Outside of therapy, I’m deeply drawn to nature and have led outdoor programs for adolescents around the world, which continues to shape how I show up in this work. Because of this background, I am offering walk and talk sessions in addition to virtual. I aim to be authentic, present, and genuinely curious with the people I work with.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by the weight of trauma, relationship fractures, or the pressure to constantly “get it right,” I want to provide a safe place to move towards being unstuck.

What often stands out to clients about my work is the emphasis on safety, validation, and shared humanity. You will have the space to share your concerns at your own pace, without fear of judgment or pressure to perform. Above all, our work together is a collaborative process in which your goals and voice guide the way.
