Stress Therapists in 85003
I have worked with a variety of individuals, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, life changes, medical trauma, and life- stressors.
Our daily lives can make us feel overwhelmed, stressed, frustrated, or that we are simply ‘going through the motions.’ Life can be messy, and sometimes we need a little extra support to keep going. I try to offer a space through counseling that is warm, comforting, safe, collaborative, and free of judgement. In person or online, we can work together through creating goals or navigating feelings and struggles. I provide therapy through a holistic lens, engaging in talking, learning, and sometimes with play or art. I work towards viewing the world through your perspective. I am located in-person in the Central Phoenix area.

Let’s be real, life can feel like an absolute beating sometimes. If you’re reading this, I’m guessing this is one of your “sometimes.” Stress, depression, emptiness, anxiety, and self-judgment are constantly knocking at our door. It’s the worst, but the good news is it doesn’t have to stay that way. By request, I provide Christian faith-based counseling adopting a Christian worldview incorporating biblical principles within an evidence-based practice.

Are you struggling with stress, anxiety or depression, accepting or understanding your identity, needing change, or wanting to get past personal trauma? If so, you are not alone. In life we all deal with challenges that are difficult to handle, especially on our own. I am a trained, independently licensed professional who is here to help you though the storm. In my over ten years of experience I have developed a client centered approach to therapy that builds on your personal strengths, insights, and understanding to help you move towards what you envision for yourself and your life. Change can be difficult, but change is possible.

I am a student of Somatic Experiencing, a body-oriented method for healing trauma and stress.
My approach to counseling builds on existing strengths and situates you, the client, as the expert on your own life. I believe that relationships with self, others, and our broader communities are foundational to wellbeing, and encourage exploration of these areas through a trauma-informed, culturally attuned lens. I take a compassionate approach to existing dynamics and coping methods and work alongside you to bring patterns and the emotions that underlie them into conscious awareness. I am affirming of all people, including multicultural, neuroexpansive, LGBTQ+, and polyamorous people and relationships.

Most of my work has involved working with individuals who have experienced crisis and experienced heightened levels of anxiety and stress.
People have an unlimited capacity for growth and change. People come to therapy for a wide range of reasons. My role as a therapist is to assist you in working towards your goals by offering support, validation, as well as practical tools that will assist you in working towards achieving those goals. Most of my training and experience has been in working with individuals who have experienced trauma. What I have learned in each of the practice settings that I have worked in is that each person is unique and requires a slightly different approach. I will routinely check in with you and shift our focus if needed in therapy.
