Mesa, AZ 85201
Your relationship feels stuck after infidelity, sexual deception, or betrayal trauma, and you’re unsure what to do next, or whether healing is even possible. You may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or questioning your own reality, but you’re in the right place. I help couples at a crossroads make sense of betrayal, restore clarity and safety, and move forward with confidence; whether that means rebuilding trust through accountability and truth, or gaining support to make clear, self-honoring decisions about what comes next.

It takes courage to share your story, and to accept help from someone. In counseling, I believe that everyone has the ability to face difficult situations, overcome challenges and learn new skills.

I take a holistic, attachment-based and trauma-informed approach to treating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, marital and family conflict, teens, and parenting challenges.

Life can be challenging and you are not alone in your struggles. We often get stuck in using coping strategies that are no longer serving us well. The process of therapy can help you discover what is causing you to suffer and how you can improve your responses to life situations. You will find that some things are within your control and also that acceptance is key to those that are not. I believe that all of us have an innate tendency to move towards healing and a trusting therapeutic relationship can help you with that.

Attending California Institute of Integral Studies shaped my holistic approach to therapy: body, heart, mind and spirit. I use a systems approach when working with clients to see and understand how all areas of one’s life might be impacting them today. I have worked with hundreds of men and women over the last 20 years as a successful corporate leader in Human Resources and Organizational Development. In this “first career” I worked to create powerful change for teams in both their personal and professional lives.

I work with women who are navigating religious trauma, faith transitions, identity shifts, and the complex experience of being a mother after leaving Mormonism. So many of the women I support were taught to be selfless, agreeable, spiritual, and “good”, often at the expense of their own needs, voice, and intuition. When you’ve spent years being told how to think, what to believe, and who to be, it makes sense that questioning any of that now feels overwhelming, scary, or disorienting.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.

How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
