About Rodney

I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in in Utah with over 30 years of experience working in clinical practice. I received my masters degree in Marriage and Family therapy from Colorado State University in 1993. I work with clients who experience a wide range of symptoms and concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I have also worked with many people who have experienced trauma and emotional abuse.

My most recent work has been with adolescent who have struggle with pre-adoption trauma.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach focuses on strategic therapies to become our future selves and not be trapped in the past. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

If you would like to know more about my philosophy you can check out my book, “From Someday to Success”, which illustrates what I believe about a person’s ability to change, overcome and become their better selves.

I look forward to working with you!
