Asperger's Syndrome Therapists in Scottsdale, AZ

Experiencing trauma can often create a response similar to a pebble thrown into a still pond. The incident may seem small at first, but the ripples swell out and disrupt your sense of control and balance. If you have experienced Anxiety/Depression, Sexual Assault, PTSD or other negative experiences, you most likely are familiar with the rippling effects of distressed feelings, amplifying intrusive thoughts as well as emotions of anger, pain, sadness, despair and more. Distressing and unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, and even physical ailments can interrupt your relationships, education, career, finances or more.

I believe every person has talents and a unique purpose in life. Sometimes issues arise that cause distress and unhappiness. Do you awaken feeling ready to take on the day? Do you have a sense of drive, ambition, fulfillment and enjoyment in your life? If you have children, are they happy and reaching their potential? If not, then perhaps the support and guidance of counseling can help you and/or your children. If you are feeling stuck or challenged beyond your own resources, engaging in counseling can help you get back on the right track.

The greatest power we have is our ability to choose one thought over another. It’s not the situation that affects us, it’s our interpretation. Sometimes it’s hard to take control and begin the process of change, but together we can work to bring mental clarity and mindfulness to begin experiencing life in a whole new light. There is resilience in us all and in our darkest moments we lose sight of our capabilities. No matter where you are in your journey, know there is always another way.

I believe that all people are good. However, attachment issues with early caregivers are common, and our naturally valuable states become blocked. Negative memories often become stuck in our nervous system, and relationship ruptures , occurring sometimes repeatedly during childhood, overtime will change the inherently good parts of us and mental health symptoms emerge. Emotional injurious patterns stemming from early familial dynamics are often replicated with the people we choose to be in relationships with, in an attempt to heal our inner wounds. Consequently, this colors the way we view ourselves, others, an the world around us..
