I specialize in helping people identify the deeper root of their anxiety and relationship stress through ERP and EMDR sessions. You had a painful experience & who you were & how you saw the world - just aren’t the same anymore. You feel lost, angry, & afraid. Maybe you experienced a divorce, trauma, got a medical diagnosis, or lost someone (or something) that you love. Maybe it happened suddenly without any warning or maybe the fact that you knew it was coming, made it feel even worse. You need someone who understands & can help you put the pieces of your life back together. You want to feel whole and hopeful.

Therapy is about becoming more aware of who you are and how you influence your surroundings. Individuals come to therapy when the ways in which they are behaving, living, and acting in life are no longer working for them. Various circumstances can cause distress and require that we seek assistance to help adjust to something new. I believe that therapy is an opportunity to grow and change when we feel stuck, it is a creative outlet to find solutions to help live life more fully.

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.

Welcome! I have been in practice over a decade and have learned that by gaining understanding and compassion for ourselves, our innate healing potential will emerge. I love to help other professionals in the field and I am a AZBBHE clinical supervisor. A quote by Rumi expresses it this way "your task is not to seek love, but to merely seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it" I use a "non-pathologizing lens" to see my clients holistically and help them make connections to how their past experiences have shaped the narratives and emotions they experience today.

What changes do you want to make to your health and wellness? You may be setting new habits by choice. You may be doing new things in new ways out of necessity. You may already be supported by a licensed medical provider, a therapist, or both. You may need more accountability and support to form new habits or to maintain your goals already in motion. I'm a national board-certified health and wellness coach, trained at the Mayo Clinic. My practice includes evidence-based integrative health, professional collaboration, and acceptance. I offer neuroaffirming and identity-affirming individual coaching. I also offer three support groups.

Do you play it safe, feel like you are not good enough, have issues with your relationships, are a people pleaser or easily angered? Everyone has experiences like these in their lives due to past childhood issues, beliefs from others that they have taken on as their own due to conditioning, and events that have taken place throughout their lives that have caused some type of trauma.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
