Women's Issues Therapists in Paradise Valley, AZ
Choosing a therapist can be a daunting task. My goal at Epiphany Counseling is to make that choice easier by creating the empathy, nurturance and safety that allows you to freely explore the life situation that brings you to therapy. In that environment, I aim to help you experience a healing process that will restore hope, health and vitality to your life. I believe that almost all of us have the organic capacity to heal and fulfill our potential, but that past experiences have taught us dysfunctional ways to cope. The goal of therapy is to learn new ways of being so that we attain greater health, peace of mind and joy.

Are you feeling exhausted from trying to keep everything together—managing responsibilities, emotions, and relationships that feel harder than they “should?”
I specialize in working with high functioning individuals navigating relationship stress, communication breakdowns, and the unique challenges that often come with anxiety and /or ADHD. This can include emotional reactivity, overwhelm, and feeling misunderstood. Many of my clients are newly diagnosed later in life or are in relationships where ADHD has quietly shaped patterns around responsibility, follow-through, and connection.

You cannot recover from anxiety by just remaining calm, or depression by just being positive. Recovery from the battles of life takes time, patience, and releasing old habits. Whether you’re facing mental illness, parenting, relationships, or life transitions; change must occur in order for peace to resurface. It's okay to feel unstable, it's ok for things to not be ok, and it's okay to ask for help.

I believe that we all have the capacity for healing within ourselves. I started my career specializing in working with children and caregivers. Now, I enjoy working with clients of all ages at whatever stage. My goal is to instill hope and healing for clients presenting with concerns related to post-traumatic stress, attachment, anxiety, grief/loss, depression, disruptive behaviors, social skills, parenting, and/or relational distress.

Insight isn’t the problem. Most people I work with already understand their patterns. They’ve been to therapy, read the books, or even used AI to sort through their thoughts. And yet, when it actually matters, in the middle of a conversation or moment of pressure, it all goes out the window. That’s where I work. I focus on helping you catch and shift patterns in real time so you can respond differently when it counts.

On the outside, you might seem like you have it all together - successful, capable, the one others rely on. But inside, it feels different. Anxiety lingers, stress lives in your body, or chronic pain and past trauma keep you stuck in patterns you can’t quite shift. Maybe ADHD adds another layer of overwhelm. You’re tired of just coping - you want deeper healing and a way to feel more at home in yourself. Therapy can be the space where you finally exhale, explore what’s underneath, and move toward lasting change that goes beyond surface-level fixes.

WHY Does this keep happening in my relationships? If you’ve asked yourself that—whether you’re dating, successful on paper but unfulfilled in love, or in a relationship that no longer feels close—you’re not alone.
As a psychologist with 20 years of experience specializing in dating, relationships, attachment, and couples, I work with high-achieving men and women who are accomplished in many areas of life yet find themselves repeating painful relational patterns—emotionally unavailable partners, over-functioning in relationships, communication breakdowns, loss of intimacy, or feeling disconnected from someone they deeply love.

Feeling overwhelmed despite your best efforts? You may appear to have everything under control while privately feeling emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck. Perhaps you’ve spent so much time managing responsibilities, caring for others, or pushing through that you’ve lost sight of your own needs. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, stress, and major life transitions. Drawing on 25 years of experience supporting people through life’s most complex challenges, I bring a calm, compassionate presence where you can speak openly, feel understood, and move forward with confidence.

You feel lonely, like nobody really knows you. You go through the motions, just getting through the day. You're putting on an act, worried what your loved ones would think if they knew the real you. You try to be perfect and hide how flawed you really are. You try to remember when this feeling started but it seems to go too far back. You notice yourself feeling on edge when you are with others, yet just as unsettled when you are alone. You want desperately to be able to open up but the walls built around you have become an isolated room. You wonder what it would be like to break free and be the real you. The only way out is through.

You might look like you have it together—but internally feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that don’t seem to change. Anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, or the impact of addiction may keep showing up, leaving you tired of managing symptoms and ready for something deeper to shift.

Cycles of Life Counseling has added teletherapy services. Protect and care for your mental health and well-being while you protect and care for your physical health. My treatment philosophy is that people want to feel good and live with purpose. Sometimes though, life can feel too big to manage. Sometimes we feel stuck or unable to adjust when "life happens", We may have not learned a better way to cope or live well with or through challenges. Add to that, frustration and disappointment over feeling this way and we feel even worse. Let's consider another way for you ‘to be’ in the world, to live more fully, with emotional freedom.
