Child Therapists in Arizona
At Momentum, we will take an individualized approach to understanding how you or your family/ child operates and help motivate each person for change.
Are you or your family dealing with the challenges of conflict, anxiety, depression, divorce, or another life struggle? Is your child or teen struggling to manage emotions or having behavioral issues? These issues can impact your family's ability to have strong meaningful connections and be overwhelming to deal with. This can be a confusing time for everyone in the family and you or your child or teen may be feeling exhausted and have little hope that it can change.

I use therapies that are effective in helping adults and children to reduce emotional pain and flourish.
Are you looking for a nonjudgmental, safe space to learn skills to feel better? Clients that seek me out are often looking for support in managing intense emotions like anxiety, depression, and mania. They often feel powerless over their feelings. For children and teens, sometimes this is observed through behaviors like isolation, acting out, or self-harming. Many times they wish there was a magic pill that could just solve all their problems so they could not feel like they are simply surviving. As we work together we will improve coping skills, connect with meaning and purpose, manage distress and create a more fulfilling life.

I have special interest in working with individuals who live with disability; children, teens, and young adults who feel alone on their pathway of life and wonder what meaning is left.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents, but I welcome anyone who feels we might be a good fit.
Life is rough, but it is also wonderful. I believe in therapy as a means to help you increase your confidence in accessing the tools you need to get through life's trials. Utilizing an attachment lens, we'll work together to address current, past, and generational traumas as we uncover the roots of problematic symptoms and provide lasting relief. My favorite quote is from George Bernard Shaw- "Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." I believe the therapeutic process is a means to empower you to create the life of your dreams.
