Therapists in Phoenix, AZ

Hello! I am happy to help if you are feeling down and discouraged and deal with overwhelming emotions. I am a licensed associate counselor seeing clients in person and via telehealth. I use a non-judgmental, empathetic counseling approach with my clients. Reaching out is the first step in empowering you with the tools that will help in your journey of mental and emotional wellness.

My journey working in counseling began by working in the trauma department in community mental health services. From there, I continued to learn the humbling lessons working with individuals who have survived traumatic events to understand the most effective approaches for healing, empowerment, and regaining a sense of safety. Along my journey, I have specialized in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with a focus to treat complex trauma and trauma-related dissociation to provide a space where holistic healing can occur.

As a therapist, I welcome all clients to a warm, safe, nonjudgmental space. I hold a secure area for sharing unsettled or disturbed material and challenging issues. I have 25+ years of extensive experience in multiple different specialties and areas of concentration in the counseling field working with children, youth and families. I focus on key issues of concern with strategy, skill development and 'hands on" parent coaching, offering hours of assistance to meet families needs. We will assist you in your developmental moments while encompassing your past/current/future experiences to create awareness and growth.

I always start with where a client is and move through a process of self awareness and discovery that brings about lasting change and newfound joy. While that is not an easy process it is a journey I have found worth taking in my own life and feel honored to take in another's. I do not believe in a "cookie cutter" approach to recovery or self actualization. Each person I work with brings a special "psychological fingerprint" that encompasses both their past and their present life experiences. I look forward to traveling the path with you.

Maybe coming to therapy is an easy, intuitive next step for you. You know and trust yourself to find just the right counselor. You know what you need from therapy to support your relationships, career/life satisfaction, self-care needs, or trauma recovery. I trust your inner wisdom and can’t wait to collaborate with you. Or, maybe you’re more tentative about this whole “therapy” thing. Life may have taught you that trust is precious–that reaching out for support could be dangerous. You may have even gotten the message not to believe in or advocate for yourself. Well, this might be a surprise: I also trust *your* inner wisdom.
