Grief Therapists in Prescott, AZ

Many of us unknowingly repeat patterns that keep us stuck or can be harmful and interfere with living our best and most meaningful life. Addiction, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, self-esteem and relationship issues cause our lives to become more difficult than planned or imagined. Learning how to identify and effectively address what gets in our way can seem overwhelming if we aren't equipped with the appropriate tools to deal with them. Increasing self-awareness can bring us to a state of congruence so what we feel on the inside more clearly matches what we express on the outside.

We are wired for connection, and with the potential to grow and live amazing, full lives. However, sometimes we have major obstacles to that growth and connection, whether those obstacles are from the past, or are showing up in the present. But how do we change? Change is one of the most wanted and feared aspects of the human experience. Our most transformative changes come when we are willing to intentionally stretch beyond our comfort zones. This is where therapy can help. I am a therapist practicing evidenced-based, effective therapies that include EMDR, EFT, and CBT.

You have the right to feel better, to enjoy a life with more meaning and less difficulty. No matter what hardships you are encountering or how stuck you may feel, you can feel better. Together we can discover what is blocking the changes you want to see in your life, while empowering you with specific tools to get there. I provide a broad range of services that are client-centered and oriented to positive change. We will focus on your strengths, building from there. I offer warmth, insight, humor, and nonjudgmental listening, while giving concrete strategies to adjust negative patterns that are holding you back.

You’re feeling weighed down by the past and the future is daunting. You feel anxious, depressed, alone, and scared. Your emotions can feel overwhelming at times yet shut off and numb at other times.

If you’re ready to make a change and get unstuck, therapy is an effective resource that will help you heal from the past, feel comfortable in your own skin, create connected and meaningful relationships, and instill hope, purpose, and passion for your future.

Welcome! Thank you for considering my services. The most important piece of successful therapy is the relationship between you and your therapist. I believe if you are on this page, there is already a bit of a connection. Let's explore it further. Perhaps you are repeating unhealthy patterns in your life, maybe you have been stuck and are now ready to move forward, or perhaps you want to improve what is already good in your life. I would be honored to join and guide you on your journey.

Not currently accepting new clients... Relief is about growth, and growth is about roots and repair. We'll utilize IFS, EMDR, sand tray, and talk therapy to discover the roots of your symptoms (ie., panic attacks, depression, insomnia) and how to heal them. Every person is different and together we'll discover the tools that work best with the way you think and emotionally process, working within a life-coaching model rather than focusing on diagnosis. I have been providing counseling services since 2011, completed EMDR training in 2017, and have received over 100 hours of continued education in Internal Family Systems.
