Female Therapists in Queen Creek, AZ

I strongly believe in the importance of the family. Each individual is important in the family system and brings a different dynamic into it. I enjoy working with individuals and families: both parent/child and sibling relationships. While I am most passionate about working with individuals suffering with trauma/PTSD, anxiety/depression, the family relationship needs support as well, particularly with challenging children. Sometimes an outside perspective can help us see things differently. Challenges in a family are guaranteed, but with some encouragement and support, we can become stronger through those challenges.

Relationships can be challenging. Sometimes we want to give up and just move on, while other times we want to heal and work through the challenges with our partner. Neither choice is wrong; whatever feels right for you is what I would like to help you navigate. Whether that involves learning skills to explore a decision, tools to enhance communication, resolving conflict, processing trauma, or learning how to connect more deeply; I am right there with you to provide an empathetic, nurturing environment that allows opportunities for self-exploration and growth. I understand the dilemma you may be facing and what you're going through.

It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help when you're trying to make healthy life changes. I believe that therapy is about helping you discover your inner strengths that will help you overcome your personal struggles and become the person you want to be. I specialize in working with adults and adolescents experiencing struggles related to anxiety, depression, stress and trauma. I'm also passionate in helping women who may be struggling with the adjustment into motherhood or are experiencing issues related to postpartum depression and anxiety.

My ideal client might struggle with depression, trauma, or anxiety. They will be goal-oriented and driven, willing to be vulnerable. Their goals would be to decrease feelings of depression or anxiety. I work with clients to identify past unresolved trauma, often an underlying issue contributing to one's current negative or dysfunctional behaviors and feelings. My goal is to help individuals work through their past trauma and learn new, effective ways to cope with their feelings, behaviors, and problematic thoughts in a compassionate environment.

Anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, trauma—it's all hard, and each challenge is different, so an ideal client is someone who is ready to work on their goals. I enjoy helping clients work through whatever concern or crisis they have. Being able to watch as someone makes the connections or meets a goal is always rewarding and the best part of the job.

The ever-changing circumstances and obstacles throughout our lives may be overwhelming and difficult to overcome. Therefore, seeking guidance for self-discovery, life transitions or managing your mental health concerns can be a difficult decision. It is important to have a safe and non-judgmental place to explore your inner thoughts and behaviors. Engagement in therapy will facilitate one’s achievements of their goals and new way of living. By taking this first step you will increase your sense of personal control, learn new skills, and enhance your overall well-being.

I am a licensed professional counselor that has been working in behavioral health for over 20 years. I am a lifelong resident of South Jersey and obtained my Bachelors and Masters degrees from La Salle University in Philadelphia.

Mental health is an important part of overall well-being. My mission is to provide counseling services that focus on the relational and developmental aspects of mental health. I embrace a comprehensive approach to mental health counseling, customizing services to suit every individual's distinctive requirements. The primary aim is to support clients in attaining their best possible mental health and overall well-being.

Life is hectic, and at times, it can be downright brutal! However, our culture rewards those who "push through" regardless of their circumstances. Before long, you're five miles to empty. You have no energy, you're not sleeping well, you're irritable, depressed, anxious, and at times emotionally detached from everything and everyone. My ideal client is someone who is looking to slow down and drown out the noises stifling their inner voice. Mourning loss, cultivating self-acceptance, creating useful internal dialogue, and establishing boundaries are possible when we choose to stop running on fumes and allow ourselves to be still.

Are you dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma or relationship issues? Are you open to change and to making those changes a reality in your life? If you are dealing with a change in your life that is causing stress or if you can't quite put a finger on what is wrong, I can help.

What is trauma? In the more than 20 years that I've been working in the field of counseling, I've come to discover that though some trauma is obvious (physical abuse, sexual abuse, military experience, car accidents, etc) so much more is less obvious and really relevant to your experience. What one person might consider just a bump in the road, another might feel is an impossible obstacle to get over. Your trauma is relative to your experiences. Regardless, of whether you feel stuck, unable to "get over it", or just that you keep having problems that you can't get passed, it's worth it to get help.

My ideal client is someone who feels emotionally dysregulated, has lost their sense of identity, and no longer finds joy in activities they once enjoyed. They may feel lost or be experiencing a significant life transition. These individuals are seeking to reconnect with themselves, discover their purpose, and live a meaningful life. They are eager to experience healthy emotions and foster positive connections and relationships. They are open to new possibilities and are willing to explore what a different, fulfilling life could look like. These clients are committed to healing from their trauma and continuing on a growth journey.

Realizing you need assistance in navigating life's challenges marks the initial step towards effecting change. I firmly believe in the interconnectedness of mind and body. As mental and emotional wounds begin to heal, the potential for physical healing also emerges. I specialize in helping individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship issues, self-harm, attachment, emotion regulation, and personality disorders. I'm a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist. I provide teletherapy counseling for adults aiming to enhance themselves by addressing and healing emotional wounds.

I believe that healing, growth and change are possible. I recognize the innate goodness, strength and potential in each individual and consider it a privilege to help others recognize and live consistent with that potential. I approach my work with clients as a collaborative partnership and respect their goals, pace, and readiness. The course of treatment tends to have three general stages: assessment and education; symptom management and relief; and healing underlying issues.

If you're ready to become your best self, I'm here to help. In our sessions, you will feel heard, cared for and supported on your journey to personal growth and meaningful change.

I believe everyone has the power to be genuinely happy and I challenge my clients to take control of their own happiness. Using a combination of cognitive, behavioral and emotionally focused therapy, I help clients develop the necessary tools to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
