Infertility Therapists in Avondale, AZ

Are you your own worst enemy? Does your inner voice say, "What's wrong with me" "Why did I do that" "I should(n't)..." "I'm not good enough" Together, we can find a different way to relate to yourself. I invite you to consider, when you learn to offer yourself love and compassion, you deepen intimacy, connection and respect within your relationships, increase confidence, achieve goals, and attract your dreams. Once we choose love for ourselves, everything changes! "Our wounds are often openings into the best and most beautiful part of us" ~ Richo

During my 6 years as a police officer with Scottsdale PD, I discovered a passion for supporting and joining with those working through trauma and relational issues. I predominantly work with trauma, couples, infertility, life transitions, stress management, and first responders. I utilize a variety of modalities, including EMDR therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Solution Focused Therapy to assist clients in achieving their goals.

I work with individuals experiencing anxiety and those navigating their fertility journey, including infertility, prenatal and postpartum experiences, as well as healing from trauma and PTSD. These journeys can often be emotionally messy and complex, with their own unique moments of joy and grief. Our work together will focus on understanding where you currently are in your journey, where you are headed, and the bumps that happen along the way.

High conflict over the same things. Infidelity. Lack of intimacy. Difficulty communicating feelings and emotions. Not feeling validated or heard. Trust is broken and resentment has built up. Infertility stress and adjustment. Years have gone by, and many life adjustments feel like they are pulling you apart. You feel desperate and alone. You want to experience that love and connection that you used to, and feel healthy and loved in meaningful way. It feels like you're losing hope of a fulfilling future in your relationship. I see you. Come sit with me, and let's explore it. Zero judgment and open arms here. Let's get started.
