Therapists in Maricopa County, AZ

I believe people are capable of healing, change, and being their better selves regardless of current or past experiences. In my office you will receive professional support, feedback, and encouragement. Together we will work to gain insight and implement effective strategies for change. Counseling need not be a long drawn out process. Knowing the critical factor for counseling success is the relationship between you and your therapist, I focus on understanding your experience and perspective without judgment and with a genuine desire to help. In times of pain and suffering we all need to feel we are not alone.

Welcome! Whether you are working through a traumatic event, relationship challenges, or stress, I am happy and honored to help. My hope is to provide a sanctuary where you can find healing, make changes, and become the person you aspire to be. Given that I am from a family that was involved in military and the medical field, I am particularly drawn to working with public safety professionals (first responders- veterans, healthcare workers, police, firefighters, etc.). I am particularly interested in helping those who may be working through posttraumatic stress, relationship issues, general stressors, life transitions, or anxiety.

Is something from your past impacting your confidence and your ability to feel happy? The stories we tell ourselves have the power to hold us back and keep us stuck. If you're holding onto a decision you made, or didn't make, a time to fell short or didn't reach the success you had thought in a way that starts to show up in many areas of your life it is a signal that a limiting belief is following you and impacting your present and future. I help men in relationships (husbands, fathers, partners), active and retired athletes, and individuals who feel stuck in their careers, relationships, and life.

My passion is to help clients become their "best self". This starts with what we tell ourselves everyday. We are what we think! Therapy is a process in which we can begin to feel relief from that negative self talk and move towards wholeness and connection. Evidence shows that therapy can help to bring about more peace, joy, and functioning to your life. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I can help you feel less alone and start thinking differently about the issues that have been holding you back. I want to know how you arrived at this place in your life. I want to help you find your way back to peace and happiness.

I am a Board Certified Supervisor, EMDR trained licensed professional counselor who specializes in trauma related issues. Along with being a therapist I am also a brain health coach with Dr. Amen clinics. My assessments are included in the therapeutic process. I work primarily with women's issues surrounding abuse and trauma by infidelity and partner sex addiction. I also collaborate couple's intensive sessions when needed. Healing is possible and I provide a non-judgmental, supportive therapeutic environment.

Thanks for your interest in my practice. My clients are often high-achievers, yet struggling to stay afloat in other aspects of their life. Men and women professionals often seek out my psychotherapy and coaching services when they find themselves stuck in long-standing patterns of addictive behaviors, anxiety and depression or when faced with learning how to manage a significant change in their personal or business life. I provide an empathic ear and will also challenge you in ways to help you meet your goals. I help clients gain focus, develop options and increase the motivation needed to make meaningful, sustainable changes.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier?

Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. We believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.
