EMDR Therapists in Prescott, AZ

I work with children, adolescents, and adults to navigate life's challenges. My mission is to provide a compassionate and trauma-informed environment where you can explore your feelings, overcome obstacles, and achieve personal growth. I believe that everyone has the potential for growth and transformation. Various concerns may include navigating emotional regulation, anxiety and depression, coping with life transitions, trauma, relational trauma, social skills development, coping with grief/loss, and coping with family changes. I am here to help you navigate your journey towards healing and resilience.

I believe everyone has the capacity to live fulfilling lives and cultivate deep and meaningful relationships with others. However, sometimes challenges from our present or past arise in ways that interfere with our ability to be our fullest selves. My hope is to help you identify and shift what feels like it is blocking you from living and loving yourself and others the way you want to. When we hurt in relationship, it is important to also begin to heal in relationship. My hope is that the therapeutic relationship can be a place for your healing to begin.

I've been a therapist in AZ for over 30 years and have worked with a diversity of clients who suffer from anxiety, depression, trauma, family issues and many more. I'm certified in EMDR as well as DBT, and would love to get to know you and see how I can be of service.

I believe human potential holds no bounds. That said, we are often constrained by our own self-limiting beliefs, and the resulting patterns of behavior can hinder personal growth. Self-defeating beliefs and narratives are frequently accompanied by a variety of negative responses, such as; anxiety, depression, addiction, low self-esteem, etc. As Henry Ford famously said, “Whether you believe you can or believe you can't...you're right". Together we will help you realize the former. I work with clients holistically, utilizing EMDR, CBT, mindfulness and other modalities, I am also able to provide Christian counseling.

I believe no problem exists without both a solution and a potential positive outcome.

Welcome to my profile, I am so glad you are here. Do you find yourself struggling with navigating through life due to anxiety, depression, or trauma? Do you feel stuck in the storms of life, full of fear, loneliness, or burdened with negativity invading your thoughts and emotions, leaving you with the feeling of being hopeless and helpless? You are not alone! Therapy is a place where you can explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe and non-judgmental environment, a space that allows vulnerability, a place to share your story, and process many emotions that invade your day-to-day well-being with the goal of healing from trauma.

My passion is helping others through life's ups and down standing along side them in the journey. I have found through therapeutic sessions a common thread, and that is finding and holding on to hope, and the struggle in learning to truly love yourself. This can come from a number of reasons including past trauma, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, early childhood beliefs, and the list goes on. When an individual is comfortable "being in their own skin" they can move forward into healthy relationships and joy in life beginning to feel true love and hope bringing lifetime contentment.

I have been a therapist since 1973 and in private practice since 1984.

We are all whole and more resilient than we believe, but we can forget this at times. Effective therapy demands deep compassion, understanding, and strong guidance.
