Female Therapists in Arizona City, AZ

I am a compassionate and experienced therapist who enjoys working with people of all ages and backgrounds. I have practiced in Pennsylvania and Arizona, working with hundreds of clients. The decision to seek therapy can be a difficult one. This decision represents courage and the desire to have a more fulfilling life.

Are you dealing with anxious thoughts or ruminating on worst-case scenarios and feel stuck and helpless? Or maybe you’re dealing with narcissistic abuse? Perhaps you’re ready to learn how to gain control of your thoughts so you feel like you’re in control instead of your thoughts taking charge. Or maybe you’re ready to learn how to deal with the gaslighting in relationships and want to learn how to set boundaries so you can stop feeling like you’re walking on eggshells or always feeling off-center. If you are struggling with anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), or suffering from narcissistic abuse, there is hope for change.

Are you struggling with anxiety, overwhelmed, or just dealing with too much stress? Is depression settling in and stealing your energy and joy? Or is your relationship at a crossroad? Feeling stuck and lost without some better tools to communicate and connect with your partner? Tired of seeing everyone else's happy updates on Facebook or Instagram and wondering if you are the only one unhappy? Or are you overwhelmed with school or work and just not sure what to do with your life. Lets talk about it! I am here to support you.

I am a licensed professional counselor looking to work with people who are wanting to make lasting changes for themselves, to better their relationships, enjoy life and make an overall life worth living. I work with you to meet your needs/goals by utilizing various evidence-based techniques such as DBT, ACT, and EMDR.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and EMDR Certified Therapist. I have been in the field since 2007. I specialize in the treatment of trauma and dissociative disorders.

I SEE you. I see you hustling to get more done—to be the perfect parent/spouse/employee/leader. I see that under your polished exterior, you are exhausted, stressed out, and ready for a change. I see you feel unappreciated, but left frustrated and guilty that you feel this way. I HEAR you. I hear your inner thoughts, “I’m working myself ragged, and I’m still not enough.” “If I could just (blank) then I will be happy.” “Why does it come easier for (blank)?" But I also hear the quiet whisper that says, “despite it all, I’m still trying.” I specialize in working with Betrayal Trauma, Sex Addiction, A.R.T. for Trauma, and Groups.

*****Currently accepting new clients for both in-person and telehealth therapy sessions.***** Hello there! I truly believe that therapy only works when there is a strong bond between the client and the therapist. Not only is client / therapist relationship important to me, it is the core foundation of my private practice as well. My mission is to support, strengthen, and empower the clients through counseling and therapy so they can focus on what they do best—living their lives to the fullest through balance and mindfulness.

I believe people are courageous to face their individual and relationship challenges. People are amazingly resilient and capable of healing, growth and change. I believe my role as a therapist is to collaborate with my clients toward a more desirable future and provide a safe, non-judgmental, supportive environment that nurtures growth and healing. We are all a part of a greater whole and are influenced by others, including our family of origin, current relationships, society and culture; therefore, I approach therapy from an integrative holistic perspective.

***I am accepting new clients through telehealth only - please call with inquiries or go to brighterdayscounselingllc.org to submit an inquiry form*** Stress is universal - how we deal with our stress is what determines our health, happiness and overall well-being. I want to work with you to manage your stress in a healthy way and increase your quality of life.

Do you feel like you're living day by day? Maybe you're stuck in a relationship you're not sure about anymore or you're wanting to take your life in a different direction! Finding a therapist can be an invaluable tool in your personal growth. I can help you explore the process to see if we are a good fit, if so, I will walk beside you whether you want to work through difficult times, improve self-confidence, or have a safe space to process your emotions. I will encourage and support you through your time of healing and discovery.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor I understand that having a safe and non-judgmental space is important. I specialize in instilling hope in those suffering from difficult and painful emotions and can work with those who are looking to live their lives more full of mental and emotional well-being.
