Couples Counseling Therapists in Scottsdale, AZ

Reaching out can be the hardest step in making a change, but you are not alone. Times in our lives can be painful, confusing, and difficult to navigate, which can leave us feeling conflicted, anxious, grieving, and having an overwhelming sense of being stuck. Know there is hope. I will journey with you to help find relief from inner turmoil while also incorporating practical solutions. Being trained as an MFT and EMDR Therapist equips me to address emotional distress, PTSD, trauma, stress, anxiety, relationships, and couples issues, among others with clients from all backgrounds to provide individualized care.

I enjoy working with people from various religious, cultural, racial, and ethnic backgrounds. Most of my work has been centered around people managing concurrent mental health diagnoses, life transitions, chronic illnesses, people experiencing a crisis, and people who self-identify as disabled. It is also important for me to work with clients who are new to therapy or hesitant about starting.

My style is compassionate yet direct, and I have personal life experiences that give me an insight and empathy level that quickly facilitates trust and rapport. I believe we all have the answers within, and I am here to help guide you to find and trust your own best answers, move through blocks to success and take action towards your most desired goals.

I am a trauma-informed psychologist with a strengths-based approach that is grounded in the fundamentals of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This means that I believe that everyone in life experiences situations that affect their beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and values, sometimes in unhelpful ways. My focus areas are relationship issues (romantic/family/friends), trauma and PTSD, couples counseling, anxiety, depression, anger management, career counseling, family conflict, infidelity, self-esteem, stress, among other issues. Healthy relationships with yourself and others can improve your overall well-being and mental health.

Brad’s approach to working with individuals and couples is born out of his own challenges in resolving family of origin issues, dysfunction, generational codependency, and addictions. His work in his own personal counseling combined with his educational pursuits has provided Brad with many tools and experiences to help others find their way to a more balanced and productive life. Brad's focus is to help individuals increase their awareness of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that do not support their goals and to help individuals move in the direction of peace and healthy relationships.

I am a trauma healing specialist. I work with individuals that have difficulty balancing their nervous system due to a breach of relationship, tissue trauma, preverbal, in utero, birth trauma, and other long term complex trauma issues. I help restore the body, mind, and spirit...or cranial brain, heart brain, and gut brain to optimum function and nervous system balance by using the resilience and survival mechanisms of the individual.

My approach to therapy is like a tool box. I believe we need all types of tools to create, build, and work on things in our life. I want to help you create your toolbox into a way that can be helpful for you. I believe in utilizing holistic approaches, and person-centered services. We are all diverse as humans and I don’t believe there is “one size fits all.” I value building relationships with my clients that can foster curiosity to explore the challenges they have faced and how we can navigate this journey together to achieve their goals.

As your therapist, I will help you recognize the power of your own thoughts and your ability to heal. In my sessions, I provide a spirit of genuineness, warmth, and collaboration. I value your trust in allowing me to slowly unpack your deepest feelings and concerns.

Carl Jung says, "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." Therapy is a safe place for you to begin finding out who you truly are and begin peeling back the layers of pain that are holding you back from experiencing a deeply fulfilling life. I work with clients suffering from past trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, and depression. I utilize a variety of modalities (including Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, and Somatic practices to help clients on their journey.)

All relationships change over time. If they're healthy, they are evolving to something deeper and more meaningful for each partner. Is your primary relationship as strong as it could be or are you struggling? Has communication become difficult? Do you and your partner feel at a loss about sharing differences or resolving conflicts? Have you just learned about a betrayal?Have you tried therapy before and found it disappointing? Do you feel alone instead of in a real partnership? If you answered yes to any of these, there is help. Couples therapy can get beyond the challenges and help you create the relationship you want and deserve.
