Grief Therapists in Gilbert, AZ

Sometimes, we can feel lost in life, or not know which way to move forward toward growth and healing. I believe that each of us can heal, have peace and joy in our own lives. I help others connect to their own inner strengths to reach their full potential. I am passionate about helping others in their personal journeys in a safe, compassionate and non-judgmental environment. I support clients to empower themselves by listening to their own inner voice, and to live in a way that is authentic to themselves. It is an honor to support others in their process of self-discovery, growth and change.

I specialize in working with adult clients who are experiencing symptoms of trauma, substance abuse, low self-esteem, life transitions and relationship issues. My goal is to truly understand the whole person so we can discover the root cause of the behavior or emotion and build upon inherent strengths and resiliency. I believe that every challenge is an invitation to seek healing for a more fulfilling life.

You're strong, but burdens can build up. Anxiety, depression, past hurts – you might carry them all. You deserve to feel better. Help is here, for you. Let's talk about healing.

Let’s get real. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Seeking out a therapist who can help you on that path is the first step. How can I help you? Many people see therapy as a very one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. In my approach, you will find that I keep it real! I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing both yourself and your world in new ways. Your therapy does not always need to be painful.

I believe in the innate power in us to evolve and resolve. Sometimes when we are faced with challenging situations, our perspectives become hazy and we are unable to connect with our selves. I use eclectic and holistic modes of therapy to help people connect with their inner selves to move on in their lives and reach their full potential. I am trained in DBT, CBT, ACT and am also a Certified EMDR provider. I also completed an externship in Emotionally focussed Therapy for Couples as positive relationships are imperative for our emotional, mental health.

Are fears getting in your way? Behind your fears are desires- desires for pursuit of your dreams, career, relationships, fulfillment and success. But something is getting in the way. It might be past experiences, losses, unprocessed feelings or limiting beliefs. It’s time for you to clear the past and create the future with intention. Being present and enjoying life starts with healing the past. Gaining self-understanding, compassion, acceptance, confrontation of fears, and definition of desires illuminates the path to self discovery and joy. Self-connection brings greater fulfillment.. It’s time to live the life you have imagined!

In today’s hard driving culture, many people are working hard and enjoying prosperity. While this is good, a wide body of research shows a high number of Americans report feeling very lonely and isolated. What are we missing? Connection. We humans are wired for close and intimate connection. When we don’t have it in our most significant relationships, especially in marriage, it is hard to find joy in anything else. What gets in the way of achieving this connection? Negative cycles and unprocessed trauma. Negative cycles take over our important relationships and unprocessed trauma can make close connection feel threatening.
