Therapists in Mesa, AZ

I work with individuals and couples to overcome self-doubt, self-esteem issues, changing unhealthy patterns, improving relationships, and finding healthy ways to cope with the pain of the past, the present and the future. I utilize an integrative approach, drawing upon a variety of orientations including a trauma-informed perspective, psychodynamic approach, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based interventions. Through self-exploration, we can work to remain in the present moment, get back into the body, shift limiting beliefs and identify a fresh perspective that aligns with your inner-most goals and values.

I believe that all people are doing the best that they can, and are striving to achieve maximum happiness and life satisfaction. However, there are often difficulties in life that prevent us from fully realizing that potential. My objective as a therapist is to help you move through the things that are blocking you from optimal wellness.

I'm not unlike you, a fellow sojourner on a path of healing, becoming and discovery. As a therapist for women, I help my clients feel seen and heard in becoming their best, healed selves. This looks like exploring and caring for the places within us with curiosity, compassion and grace. Many individuals seek me out to find relief from anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, chronic people-pleasing, women’s-related issues, relationship challenges and chronic illness. At the core of my practice is an integrative approach to honoring you as a whole person: mind, body, spirit.

I LOVE working with folks on the sexual, affectional, relational and gender spectrums. This includes non-traditional / non-monogamous individuals. I'm a member of the Society for Sexual, Affectional, Intersex, and Gender Expansive Identities. I'm passionate about providing affirming care and support. I deeply believe in everyone's right to be their authentic self and to live their truth. I also really enjoy working with folks who are in the process of spiritual and/or religious transition and those struggling with religious trauma. I specialize in treating dissociative disorders and in healing complex PTSD.

I know that you want to feel hopeful about your future and not haunted by your past. You need to find a way through your biggest fears. The problem is you feel hopeless and trapped by what has happened. Your past should not haunt you and hold you back from a great future. I understand your fears and pain. I have over 10 years of experience and extensive training to help you tackle the ghosts of your past. I have helped many people create road maps through their fears and find hope in their futures.

I love my community and I believe that every person is a treasure, is gifted and has a purpose for their life, their family and their community. However, trauma, abuse, illness, disorders, anxiety, depression, relationship and legal issues can slow down the growth and change needed to achieve your purpose and goals. Shame, negative thoughts, and behaviors that do not promote healthy living or connection are common ways that people deal with tough life issues, however, I am willing to join you at this difficult time and with warmth and non-judgment, collaborate with you to achieve your desired goals.

Have you already tried traditional talk therapy and felt disappointed by it? Perhaps you are skeptical about trying therapy at all. Either way, I am here to help by holding a safe space for you to explore your inner world with the use of my favorite modalities: EMDR and IFS therapy. Many of the clients I work with suffer from trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, life transitions, and come from all walks of life. With clients, I have a compassionate approachable demeanor. Clients warm up to me quickly and I enjoy helping them to reach their goals.

My approach is client-centered and holistic in view as I believe that each of us present with a rich history of our own unique qualities and experiences that have led to successes as well as challenges..

Life is a journey but sometimes that journey brings challenges. The problem is that many of us don’t know how to overcome those challenges. My goal is to meet you on your journey, wherever that may be, and guide you through the process of facing life’s hardships and complications. During our sessions, I will help create an environment that allows you to feel validated and empowered. I will help you to become resilient and create a future that you can enjoy. Together we will work to move forward to promote your happiness and mental wellbeing.

When we are faced with struggle, we can easily forget that these experiences lead to our growth and self discovery. Hope can feel illusive; however, with the right support, it's not only accessible, but it becomes the light that leads the way. I enjoy working with clients who are ready to explore the edges that are showing up in their lives and using this as a roadmap for exploration, integration, and growth. I have experience in working with adults, adolescents, and families and I'm passionate about empowering others in reaching their well-being goals and living life to the fullest.

Making the decision to see a counselor requires courage, strength, and vulnerability in a journey of self-exploration and increased awareness. I am deeply committed to creating a safe, accepting, and nonjudgmental space for each unique client's experience to feel love, joy, connection, and work through pain, loss, trauma, and grief. I work with a wide range of clients with various issues and have specialized training in trauma-focused care and EMDR.

I specialize in supporting individuals and families of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities.

An important indicator of success in therapy is the therapeutic relationship and the key is the art of listening - to what you are saying, but also within the silence. I believe that you already have the answers you seek and in collaboration with me, you can begin your journey of healing and find the sense of peace you desire. I have extensive experience serving individuals who have been struggling with co-occurring disorders (substance use and mental illness symptoms occurring together). My expertise also includes mood disorders, disordered eating, pornography and sex addiction; and enjoy working with adolescents.
