Therapists in Arizona

Immediate telehealth openings are available with colleagues within my practice. Visit the website for information or outreach for a phone screen to determine if I may connect you with a like-minded clinician. We strive for more than patient “functioning” as an end goal, supporting patients toward self-actualization and greater inner connection. If you feel stuck, consider a depth-oriented approach. Many patients have only experienced supportive or solution-focused therapies, not realizing how these approaches inadvertently maintained their unhelpful patterns. Together, we will strive to find the right answer, not just the quick one.

During this very challenging time of communities chaos, personal and career transitions and uncertainties, we are all seeking comfort, understanding, welcoming connection, and joining something that is both meaningful and personally fulfilling and safe to participate in. We seek others that can identify with our own experiences, our fears, and our perceived solutions. We feel guarded and suspicious, and alone and sometimes forgotten. We blame ourselves for feeling depressed or anxious, grief and heartbroken for our families, our future, and work environments. We want to work harder to feel better and yet, continue to struggle.

My practice is focused on helping individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorders and post-traumatic stress. I specialize in comprehensive grief and loss issues and am passionate about empowering women and other survivors of abuse. Since the relationship between a client and therapist is a strong predictor of a positive outcome, my goal is to provide a supportive, safe and accepting environment where you will feel understood and respected while moving towards self awareness, greater happiness and solutions to problems.

Seeking help? Good for you.. and remember, there is nothing “wrong with you”. Like many, you have been faced with challenges that have overwhelmed your available resources. Each person has the capacity to function in a healthy way. I believe that emotional responses, especially stress, occur on a spectrum that can range from healthy to dysfunctional. My goal is to create an environment in which you can regard yourself positively while learning to work through helpful solutions.

The word 'therapy' comes from the Greek word 'theraps' meaning, an attendant. The prefix 'psycho' comes from the Greek word 'psyche" meaning, soul or spirit. A good therapist attends or listens to the soul, spirit and innermost voice of the client or patient. Having worked in the mental health field over the past 50 years, I have learned and developed a variety of approaches to listen to and attend to that part of each individual that has the potential to bring about understanding and healing from the deep psyche within. Couples counseling involves teaching/coaching empathic listening skills, utilizing "Interactive Focusing" .

My goal as a psychologist is to help people work through difficulty using all forms of treatment options and modalities. I draw from my own multitude of experiences incorporated with a comprehensive work and educational background. I work on all levels of consciousness and being. I believe humans have an unlimited capacity to change and persevere if they are willing.

I am passionate about helping clients identify clear and attainable goals to improve their lives. I understand the complexities of reprocessing traumatic incidents that prevent progress. I offer support when addressing the following issues: depression, anxiety, panic disorders, anger management, and self-esteem. I have a profound respect for the process of trauma-informed care and helping clients work through difficult feelings that impact their lives and relationships in a non-judgmental environment.

Asking for help is no easy task. Whether looking to help yourself, your relationship, or your career, it can be scary to admit vulnerability. However, despite some popular beliefs, therapy is not about “fixing” something that is broken; it is about understanding the nature of your difficulties and working with your strengths to see yourself through it. I strive to offer compassion and understanding to help you identify your current barriers in life while also helping you resolve deeper emotional distress. I provide a warm and caring space for reflection and to help you process your needs.

I offer therapy for people who are seeking growth or change but feel stuck about how to move forward. This may be wanting a deeper connection to yourself and others, difficulties with stress, mood, or emotions, trouble adjusting to a life transition/event, relationship challenges, or identity issues. I value building a trusting therapeutic relationship that inspires openness, curiosity, and vulnerability; a place where lasting change unfolds. I strive to provide an environment in which you can speak your truth and be heard with respect and acceptance. I welcome folks of all genders, sexual orientations, lifestyles, and relationship structures.

Over the course of our lives, we develop emotional, spiritual, and physical wounds that it make it harder to connect with others and to feel authentically real. We end up building walls intended to keep us safe. These walls end up encasing us in patterns that bring feelings of rejection, sadness, shame and fear. They hamper our ability to progress, have quality relationships, and find happiness. My philosophy is to create a safe, therapeutic environment in which you can be heard and supported while developing strategies to remove the barriers keeping you from being authentic and connecting to others.
