I specialize in providing professional counseling from a faith-based non-denominational Christian perspective. The majority of my clients are Christians who are struggling with significant challenges in their lives. Together, we work toward applying relevant biblical information to help heal wounds from the past/present, gain insights, receive encouragement, and develop coping skills for living in today's world.

I am an experience licensed therapist that works with clients ages 18 and up. I have extensive experience working with adults with multiple mental health disorders. I focus on identifying and treating the root of the issue in a friendly and non-pressured setting.

My specialty is in working with self-esteem issues, life transitions, grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, and spiritual crisis (spiritual awakening, shadow work, “dark night of the soul”). I operate from a humanistic theoretical framework; which just means, that I focus on the Individual as a whole and focus on existing positive strengths and behaviors. I meet you where you are at and welcome you without judgment. I believe strongly in the therapeutic relationship and I make sure to co-create with you a healing space where you can feel safe to be you.

If you feel you are stuck in life with negative thinking, ongoing uncomfortable emotions or unhealthy behaviors and need to create inner strength, process past trauma and develop fulfilling interactions, their is hope. We all feel lost at times and in need of acknowledgement, validation and guidance. The goals to live a happy and full life are real and attainable. We can work together in finding insights about self that will promote growth and the best version of yourself.

If you are seeking understanding and change, you are in the right place. I specialize in working collaboratively with people to explore life's challenges. I believe that all people experience a collection of traumas, big or small, or difficult experiences. I also believe that those experiences often keep us from living the life we want. Whether you are seeking therapy for recovery from a traumatic event, or are just hoping to get to know yourself better, I provide effective approaches for therapy. I believe that all people can find answers, solutions, healing, recovery, and change.

I am an empathetic counselor who works collaboratively with clients to help them live their best life. I believe that individuals are their own "specialists" in their lives. My job is to help them discover their skills and provide them with tools to empower their lives. This is achieved through a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship.

I work primarily with older adults who are dealing with depression/anxiety, grief/loss, aging, illness, isolation, addiction, loss of a sense of purpose and family issues. I also work with individuals who have experienced trauma whether it be from childhood experiences, a single incident, or multiple traumas, and the resulting conditions that may develop.

I've been an Arizona licensed Psychologist since 1988. After practicing for 22 years in Flagstaff, Arizona, my wife and I relocated our primary residence to Yavapai County in 2009. My private practice office is located in Prescott and I specialize in "mature adult" psychotherapy. I work with many issues including those related to aging, grief/loss, adjustment to health changes, care giver support, and others. My practice has been full since 2020, and I do not keep a waiting list. But, feel free to call to see if any new patient slots have opened.

I have been a counselor for 20+ years. I work with most substance and/or process addictions, my favorite work being with people dealing with compulsive sexual behavior. I have trained with Pia Mellody and embrace her work on Developmental Immaturity. I am in recovery myself, for 33 years, and enjoy helping others who want to overcome their addictive behaviors. I believe in the importance of treating the underlying childhood issues as well as building a 12-step based recovery. I help people free themselves from isolation and shame caused by addictive behaviors and reengage in their lives from a place of sobriety, peace and joy.

You have the right to feel better, to enjoy a life with more meaning and less difficulty. No matter what hardships you are encountering or how stuck you may feel, you can feel better. Together we can discover what is blocking the changes you want to see in your life, while empowering you with specific tools to get there. I provide a broad range of services that are client-centered and oriented to positive change. We will focus on your strengths, building from there. I offer warmth, insight, humor, and nonjudgmental listening, while giving concrete strategies to adjust negative patterns that are holding you back.

"Life doesn't have to be so hard". Do you find yourself saying that to yourself? Do you find yourself repeating the same behaviors over and over expecting different outcomes? Do you feel stuck and don't know what direction to go? Do your fears run your life? I offer effective short term treatments for motivated clients facing turning points or transitions in life. I have been licensed since 2002 by the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners as s Licensed Professional Counselor.

Many of us unknowingly repeat patterns that keep us stuck or can be harmful and interfere with living our best and most meaningful life. Addiction, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, self-esteem and relationship issues cause our lives to become more difficult than planned or imagined. Learning how to identify and effectively address what gets in our way can seem overwhelming if we aren't equipped with the appropriate tools to deal with them. Increasing self-awareness can bring us to a state of congruence so what we feel on the inside more clearly matches what we express on the outside.

My training and practice have been in health and rehabilitation psychology. This primarily includes working with adults who have incurred medical illness and/or injury necessitating psychological adaptation and adjustment. Additionally, I work with adults for issues related to substance use disorders and other addictions, depressive and bipolar disorders, anxiety disorders, difficulty in relationships, and management of chronic pain.

Welcome! Thank you for considering my services. The most important piece of successful therapy is the relationship between you and your therapist. I believe if you are on this page, there is already a bit of a connection. Let's explore it further. Perhaps you are repeating unhealthy patterns in your life, maybe you have been stuck and are now ready to move forward, or perhaps you want to improve what is already good in your life. I would be honored to join and guide you on your journey.

Are you tired of feeling like a prisoner of your past or current situation? The therapy relationship is a powerful experience that can provide healing in many ways; you don’t have to go through life’s trials alone. As humans, we share the common vulnerability of struggling with some form of suffering. Psychotherapy is a safe place for healing and moving through life challenges. I primarily use EMDR, self-compassion skills, and cognitive behavioral skills to assist my clients in the therapeutic process.

I welcome you and aim to make you feel at ease as I offer professional guidance using research-based interventions in a confidential, non-judgmental atmosphere. Whether you are seeking to improve interpersonal relationships, find greater fulfillment, overcome addictions, depression or anxiety, I can help guide you in the most effective personalized approach. We all experience situations in our lives when we may need professional support as we face obstacles that seem overwhelming or too daunting to overcome on our own. I believe no problem exists without both a solution and a potential positive outcome.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist for over 10 years, I have experience and expertise working with clients to help create safety and security within a family system, whatever that may look like. This maybe you as a couple, you as an individual, or multiple family members seeking guidance and support during difficult times. As a mother and a wife, I understand how challenging life can get when working to establish a sense of love for all parties within the family. Often this is a balancing act, with multiple spinning plates, and with only so many arms to keep this act functional.

Psychotherapy can provide unique support to many life challenges; from navigating difficult transitions, to undoing patterns and beliefs that keep us stuck, to changing how we feel about ourselves and others, to healing past traumas that still haunt us in the present.

Are difficult thoughts and emotions making it hard to get through the day? Have you been feeling stuck or uncertain about how to move forward? Struggling in work, school, or in relationships? If you are wanting to feel better and not sure where to start, therapy could be the right choice for you. Seeking support through therapy services can be a difficult step, so it is my priority to create a safe and comfortable environment to promote your healing and growth.
