Family Systems Therapists in Phoenix, AZ
This approach may include elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, family systems or solution-focused brief therapy.
Whether you have been dealing with an issue for years or if it is something that has recently surfaced, counseling can be beneficial in addressing the problem. Counseling provides a non-judgmental environment with encouragement to explore the source of the presenting problem and work towards a greater well-being. I enjoy working with adolescent teens through middle-aged individuals and couples on a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, anger management, relationship issues, mood disorders, coping skills, and self-esteem.

Hello. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and School Social Worker and have worked in community mental health clinics and school settings. I earned a PhD in transformative learning from the California Institute of Integral Studies and a Master of Social work from the University of New England. The focus of my work is in two areas. One area is the impact of complex trauma on individuals and family systems. In this work I address PTSD caused by long-term family and intimate partner violence and conflict. The other area is how individuals and people in their support systems deal effectively with serious mental illness

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 am heavily influenced by Existential-Humanistic Theories, the meaning and purpose of life, and Family Systems Theories, how each person is affected by every family member and by the family as a whole.
My approach in therapy is to respect each individual as a whole person. I believe each person knows himself or herself best. Rather than just treating the symptom(s), I attempt to get to know the person well enough to guide them into insights of the CAUSES of their problems. My ultimate goal is to help each individual achieve the healthiest level of well-being and highest developmental level of functioning. Whenever appropriate, I work with multiple members of the same family in order to strengthen the family and/or marriage.

Considering the issue and the client’s feelings, I regularly draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), attachment theory, family systems, psychodynamic, strength-based and mindfulness coaching.
Whether you've been in therapy before or are getting started for the first time, the process can sometimes feel overwhelming. I know it took a lot for you to get here, so while you’re here, I hope you connect with something that offers a bit of comfort. My experience and interest lies in working with adults healing from complex trauma (C-PTSD), family of origin wounds, narcissistic abuse, attachment issues and addiction. Since earning a Master of Arts degree in Professional Counseling in 2010, I've held clinical positions ranging from residential therapist to clinical director, eventually transitioning to private practice.

I start with a family systems approach to therapy in effort to identify communication and emotional patterns that contribute to the challenges you bring into the counseling session.
Human language is so powerful that one word can change a life, or destroy the lives of millions" This is a quote from the "Four Agreements". Language can be used to create a collaborative and engaging therapeutic experience that facilitates the development of lasting personal change. I will support you through thoughtful reflection, mindful consultation and experiential life change strategies, to identify and alleviate unresolved trauma, creating a more compassionate and empowered, lived experience.

Common therapy techniques/modalities I use, have been Systemic ( Family Systems), Humanistic, Solution-Focused, Narrative, CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, PIT, Experiential & Body Regulation.
First, I want to thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I focus on creating an emotionally safe place. Safe enough to be vulnerable and lean into discomfort. Safe enough to create change that may be desired or needed. My style is direct, compassionate, and caring. When appropriate, I use humor, transparency, and my own quirky personality to help create a safe environment and vulnerability. It is the balance of being client-centered (meeting clients where they’re at) and encouraging change (which sometimes includes calling out BS or respectfully challenging when needed). Im currently offering in-person and telehealth.

I also utilize interpersonal family systems, and attachment theory in order to help clients learn more about themselves than they ever have. We will create skills and process together, to alleviate any disrupting symptoms of depression and anxiety. I am offering in person and virtual sessions.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
