Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Goodyear, AZ

Embracing imperfection accepting the flaws and loving yourself is the essence of our growth as human beings as we strive to live the life we are meant to live. Mindfulness is the human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us. Mindfulness is a quality that every human possesses and is able to access. However with life sometimes accessing mindfulness is a challenge and the skill is embracing imperfection in order to access those moments of where we are present.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who is passionate about helping people understand and transcend beyond the effects of trauma. I specialize in helping clients make connections between the problems they are struggling with now and their earlier life experiences to process through and minimize their trauma responses. I work with clients, couples, and families to process traumatic experiences and understand the impact trauma has on all areas of life, such as relationships, parenting, family dynamics, self-worth, emotion regulation, trust, mental health, physical health, body responses, growth, coping, and social skills.

I truly believe, and have experienced, there is Hope in the midst of difficult times. While hard times can be overwhelming; we can take comfort in knowing we don't need to go through it alone. Even though, at times, it may feel that way. Whatever challenges you may be facing or if it seems like everything around you is falling apart, all the difference can be made when working with one who can help you see the other side of your struggle. I am excited to offer locations in Goodyear and Glendale.

As a counselor, my hope is to empower people to achieve their goals and become their best selves while doing so. I believe counseling is a collaborative effort and should be treated with delicacy and honesty. Taking on a person-centered approach to counseling is important to me because each person should be embraced for their uniqueness. I use evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR to address anxiety, depression, marital conflict, trauma, relationship issues, behavioral issues, emotional disturbances, family conflict, and self-esteem hindrances within a wide variety of clientele.

I often remark on how much we keep tucked away and inside, hidden from view. Many of us have learned to put on a smile, keep going and yet there's deep pain inside that we keep pushing away-thinking there will be a better time to deal with it. And yet, it crops up. Maybe when we are alone. Or when we are rested. And it's a reminder that things aren't quite as they could be.

Hi. I work with families, couples and teens who have anxiety, depression, stress and conflict. If you want help to improve your sleep, reduce your stress and learn ways to manage conflict I can help.

I enjoy helping people gain perspective on their fears that cause anxiety, depression, and relationship issues so that they can learn to overcome their stressors and live their best life.

We often encounter daily obstacles in our lives that seem to go unnoticed by others. We have a tendency to sometimes forget that we are humans, humans who are filled with feelings and dreams and just need to feel heard and accepted.

Together, we will work to create insight and connect the relationship between beliefs, behavior patterns, and emotional responses in an effort to deepen the understanding of your capabilities and choices in life.

Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified EMDR Therapist. I am passionate about helping adolescents and adults heal and reclaim joy that is often disrupted by childhood adversities, trauma, abuse, and every day life stressors. My approach is integrated blending modalities from EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Sand Tray. My goal is to help individuals and families tap into their potential to make positive changes, with a commitment to support clients as they build capacity and resilience for a brighter future.

My ideal client would be any person that is in need of someone to talk to. They want to feel heard and understood. They have an idea of what they would like to talk about and what they would to see for their own future. Even if they are one hundred percent sure what they want, they are willing to talk about it. Also I think that it is important to be open to the idea that therapy can be fun!

Do you want more for yourself, but cant quite picture what that looks like? Perhaps you know exactly what changes you'd like to see? Are you ready? As a skilled therapist, I have many tools to assist others in clearly identifying, and meeting, their goals. However, the most valuable tool in this process is us: our relationship. Being able to feel connected, be yourself, and feel seen is hugely healing in itself. I am flexible in my approach, adapting my skills to your needs. I will help you clearly identify what gives you meaning and purpose, while cultivating your strengths to live in alignment with your values.
