Therapists in 85234
I have over thirty years of experience working with children, families, and adults. I am a mother of four, a former first grade teacher, and a licensed professional counselor. Everyone goes through challenges in life and at times you just need someone to listen and encourage you in your journey. My goal for every client is to feel comfortable, safe, and most importantly heard and understood. It takes courage, humility, and love (either love for yourself or your child), to pick up the phone and decide to begin therapy. I recognize that and honor your decision.

In a world filled with constant demands and pressures, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and disconnected. It can be hard to regulate ourselves during stressful times because of past trauma or simply because we don’t have the skills to remain calm amidst the chaos. Beginning therapy is a big step in helping you create the life you want; one that you feel confident in handling whatever comes your way.

The journey toward one's best self can be challenging! I partner with my clients to address specific needs of the individual in a safe environment. It has been my experience that behavior that is not helpful or skills that are not useful are the result of adaptation. Simply put, we do what we can with what we know! People come to counseling because the tools they are currently using are no longer working. I recognize that the client is the true expert in his or her own life and empower the individual with a strength-based approach to therapy.

My own healing journey began at a very young age. I have had many experiences throughout my life, teaching me that healing is possible. These experiences led me to studying and learning various therapeutic techniques such as: EMDR, Somatic Experiencing and Integral Somatic Psychology. These trauma focused techniques can help guide us through deep suffering and emotional pain, toward healing the mind, body and spirit. Even when your path seems darkest, there is hope and light along the way. It takes courage to face demons from the past and move forward with strength and hope toward the future.

I have a passion for working with children, adolescents and families. Addiction issues, loss and trauma are also areas that I enjoy working with. I have worked with all ages and cultures and love seeing people overcome their obstacles and move forward in their lives; feeling lighter, happier and able to achieve their dreams and goals. I know people are capable of achieving happiness and connections in their lives with additional supports and can become who they want to become with support and direction.

Have a problem? Let's begin to solve it! Therapy is much more than just having someone to talk to, psychologists are professionally-trained listeners who can help you get to the root of your problems, overcome emotional challenges, and help you make positive changes in your life. We all have problems and make mistakes; it's the choices we make while dealing with these struggles that will have an impact on our lives. I'd love to be your partner in the recovery process where we move from a state of pain and confusion toward hope, healing, and happiness.

I have a PhD and almost 30 yrs experience working with clients. I have advanced training in EFT and Gottman Therapy. I also draw on 35 yrs of experience being married. All couples have conflicts. The difference is happy couples have a way to resolve and repair issues. I specialize in helping couples develop that repair process. When many couples argue they end up feeling more frustrated, distant, and dissatisfied in their relationship instead of feeling close and connected. Eventually they stop talking to avoid fighting and grow apart. I help couples who are stuck find a way to experience the love and closeness they desire.

I’ve been a counselor and a coach for over a dozen years now and I have learned that to be our best, to truly make positive changes in our lives we need to address the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. Our goal is the full integration of the emotional child, the intellectual adult, the physical body, and the spirit guide (soul). I believe that everyone is capable of, is in fact entitled to, a life of happiness, love, peace, and fulfillment. I utilize an integrative approach that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), empathetic listening, mindfulness, and spirituality.
