"So many situations can happen in our lives, and many of them can be unexpected and unwelcomed. Other times we know changes will be coming, but once they are deeply planted in our lives we can feel misunderstood, unhappy, isolated and confused. These situations of change, loss, grief, confrontation, struggle, and sadness are sometimes too much to bear alone. I specialize in helping clients through overwhelming problems and challenges. My approach to therapy is a positive, hopeful, open approach. I collaborate with my clients to find changes they want to make, how they want to "see and live" their lives."

"My orientation is family systems, which means even when there is only one person in my office, I view that person in the context of emotional systems in which he or she is embedded?family, work, friendships?and try to help the person recognize forces that are acting upon them. What are the "rules" of those systems? What expectations did someone grow up with, for example, around marriage and family? What lessons were learned about sexuality and religion, about work and play, fitting in vs. going one's own way, and all the other challenges and choices that life presents?"

"I believe we can change by learning new behaviors and new ways of understanding. By working in the present, we can change the future. Even though I use humor, I know the work can be difficult. I am honored to be part of that work with my clients and to have been with them while they change their future. I adapt my work to your needs. "Client centered" is natural to me. With some exceptions I do not believe "one size fits all." The exceptions are that every one deserves to be treated with respect, compassion, honesty, and complete integrity."

"I work with individuals, couples and families to express their challenges and understand themselves and their relationships in a healthier context. I also offer support during life transitions and crisis so clients are empowered and experience resilience."

"My passion is to provide hope and healing from life's challenges in a safe place. I can help. I can come along side you and together we can find peace and relief from the shame, burdens, and struggles. I have worked in the healthcare industry for over 20 years both inpatient and outpatient in a variety of roles and provide several specialties to help individuals, couples, and families recover from the pain of addictions (substance and process), eating disorders, depression, anxiety, self-harm, stress, and trauma. Experience freedom and discover new ways to find joy in living your life."

"I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Arizona. I graduated from the University of New Mexico, and completed my internship with Dr. Alya Reeve in the UNM Neuropsychiatric clinic and epilepsy clinic.

I am a Nationally Certified Counselor, a member of the American Counseling Association, and is a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader. I worked in several clinical capacities, focusing on chronic medical and mental health conditions, trauma, individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, group therapy, and hypnotherapy."

I counsel adults from all walks of life. That does include first responders (police, fire fighters, EMTs), active duty, and veterans. I am a national certified counselor (NCC), national clinical forensic counselor (NFC) and a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with certifications in trauma therapy, anger management and crisis intervention (CISM individual and groups)."

"If you are struggling with an eating disorder, depression, anxiety, substance abuse or trauma, please know that there is hope and healing for you. I enjoy walking along side people overcoming these disorders and being able to find out what true recovery means. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is an important one and that a person must have a good relationship with their therapist while the therapist utilizes therapeutic treatments that work."

"In my experience moments of great suffering also provide unique opportunities for growth. My aim is to provide a safe and nurturing place for you to heal. I believe the path to healing is unique to each person and I offer a range of interventions that are designed to help you tap into your strengths and create resilience; such as mindfulness, EMDR, expressive art therapy and strengths based interventions. I have over 200 hours of training in meditation and mindfulness practices and I offer these invaluable tools to my clients as a part of their holistic treatment plan."

"The mission of Peacemakers Christian Family Counseling is to provide individual counseling, family counseling and organizational consultation services from a Christian perspective. Peacemakers' services are available to everyone. You don't have to be a Christian to receive services and you don't have to become a Christian to benefit from services offered. My approach to counseling and therapy is to operationalize the power of love in the process of healing. My theoretical orientation is grounded in person-centered theory which recognizes that we as people naturally strive to be all that God has blessed us to be."

"To feel alone with the pain of depression, anxiety and loss can be overwhelming. By creating a compassionate and supportive theraputic environment, painful feelings and conflicted relationships can be explored and resolved. Working with dreams and fantasies and by honoring your life story, a new understanding of your self and your relationships can emerge."

"Making the decision to contact a therapist can be difficult and my goal is to make the process as welcoming as possible in a comfortable and calm office setting. I see my role as helping you feel better in the areas of your life that bring you anxiety and emotional pain. Whether that is from relationship difficulties, trauma, loss or stressful situations, my great passion is to work with each individual, to build on strengths and to provide new tools and the skills needed to improve their relationships and quality of life."

Due to my personal and professional experience, I've had great success helping women with relationship and domestic violence issues, couples struggling with communication and trust issues, families seeking parent/child solutions, and high-risk teens desperately needing more effective life and social skills."

"I believe building therapeutic rapport is the essential foundation of healing. It is important to allow people to grow in their own time, while holding space for their process. My goal is to promote a safe and comfortable environment to work through past wounds and help in building resilience. I work from an empathetic and empowering approach. I have a range of experience working with those struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, eating disorders, codependency, low self-worth, and difficulties in relationships."

"I'm pleased you are taking a look at my profile. I know that finding a therapist can be a nerve-wracking experience! What has motivated you to seek therapy at this time? Has there been a change in your circumstances? Does your life no longer make sense? Are lonely, tired, sad? Is something calling you to finally become more of who you are meant to be? In the 30 years that I have been providing clinical services, I have helped many people uncover their strengths and make changes so that their deepest goals could be realized."
