Therapists in Phoenix, AZ

My clients are most often seeking help with their relationship: with themselves, others, the past, or the world in general. For over 15 years I have worked alongside people seeking to understand, process, and change themselves and their relationship to their lives. My training is primarily in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I am also trained in EMDR therapy, a trauma-focused therapy.

It is my aim, through counseling to help you heal and grow. Whether you are struggling with social anxiety, depression, disordered eating, or trauma you deserve growth, education, and recovery. I am a firm believer that recovery takes a special kind of person willing to do the difficult work to get to a fulfilling life. Therapy is meant to be validating, affirming and challenging. I have in person appointments available. I am no longer accepting adolescent clients. I have experience working in all levels of care for eating disorders (IP, RTC, PHP, IOP and OP). I work Tuesday-Friday. I want to help you heal and thrive.

I am dedicated to helping adults heal from all types of trauma.

Are you hurt and angry about the DISCOVERY or DISCLOSURE of your partner's or spouse's SEXUAL SECRETS? Have some of the things you once trusted and relied upon in life later proven to be false or been buried beneath layers and layers of deception? Do you know the experience of wanting stability as you attempt to stand on the shifting sands of overwhelming uncertainty? Your distress is valid and what you're feeling is quite normal, and yet it's all incredibly disconcerting. Fortunately, you do have someone to talk to. I'll listen, answer your questions, and help guide you through this difficult time. I hope you'll give me a call!

You find yourself trapped in a maze of relentless thoughts, where every turn leads to the same dead end. "Why can't I just get out of my own head?" you wonder. Conversations with your partner feel like navigating a minefield, and those past traumas? They've set up camp in your mind and body. Despite trying talk therapy, you still feel stuck, anxious, and sometimes, hopeless. The shadows of depression and anxiety loom large. You may be yearning for genuine change and a way to break free from these burdens, but are unsure of the next step.

I believe that we all seek love, acceptance, and belonging. When experiences lead us to internalize a shame message that we are not enough, we can develop ways of interacting with the world that, though helpful in the past, are no longer working (or may even be harmful). This can bring on issues related to anxiety, depression, shame and low-self-esteem, feeling out of control of your emotions, and conflicts in your relationships. As overwhelming as life can feel, I truly believe finding freedom and healing is possible and consider it a privilege to support you in this process.

Finding a therapist is like dating, not everyone who takes you out to dinner will be “the one”.

Based in Phoenix, I work with clients around the country and the world as licensing allows, including via Telehealth. I'm so glad you're here. The world can feel like an inhospitable home at times. Relationships can be unsettled, self-medicating can dominate, and the past can haunt like a persistent familiar ghost. Healing is necessary, because you are necessary. No matter how you may struggle - there is no one else quite like you, you are the very best at being you, you possess gifts and magic that only you can bring to the world. Therapy is about coming home to yourself - your physical body, emotional body or heart, and mind.

I am a Christian, trauma-based therapist. I work quickly to discover the root issues of the symptoms with which you present, in counseling. While using a Christian world view, my approach to therapy is to utilize EMDR/IFS to heal past wounds, hurts, and traumas that may be impacting you today. We meet clients where they are and integrate spirituality as they feel comfortable.

As a therapist who works with individuals and couples, I strive to create a safe, open space for my clients to share their story. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship - based on trust, respect, and authenticity - is vital to the healing process. In addition, I believe that everyone's story is uniquely important and that the journey towards healing begins with one's story being heard and understood. I consider it an honor and a privilege to walk with my clients as they take steps toward freedom from current and past wounds.

"What's broken can be mended. What hurts can be healed. No matter how dark it gets, the sun is going to rise again."* I believe in being positive, present and having a realistic plan for change. Behavior is influenced by core beliefs. Behaviors follow patterns that can be identified and changed. We will identify your core beliefs and challenge unhealthy thought and patterns. We will use a mindfulness based approach and focus on your strengths as we create a plan for change. *I am EMDR and RTEP trained and have solid base in treating all types of trauma.
