Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Ahwatukee Foothills, Phoenix, AZ

My ideal client is someone who is motivated to work towards becoming their best selves. They are not afraid to seek hard answers and are willing to work hard at the goals they set for themselves.

I provide telehealth across many of the states in the U.S, Europe, and across the Globe, wherever and whenever you need my support, I will be there! I am a clinical psychologist and an expert consultant with years of evidence-based training and experience. Anxiety, Depression and ADHD are often undiagnosed and can make your life miserable. I am here to help you instantly identify your needs and provide solutions that work. I am also a trauma specialist and can help you deal with your past, for your best life NOW. Whether you need a booster "checkup from the neckup" or more intensive focus, I am your portable psychologist.

What we identify as the problems in our lives are typically symptoms of something deeper that needs attention. If you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, mood instability, stress, trauma, or personal relationships, it always comes back to the relationship you have with yourself. Our emotions provide information that helps us gain a better understanding of who we are, and tune us into those things that are out of balance in our lives. For me, therapy is a healing journey intended to increase awareness, restore balance, and guide individuals toward the optimum version of who they can be.

Life is full of obstacles, whether they started early on in our life or later. Regardless, these life events can impact us in ways that can cause emotional, physical, and mental responses that we don’t always understand. We can get caught up in patterns and behavior we desperately want to breakout of but feel powerless to change. I truly understand the frustrations and hopelessness that can come with this, making it even more difficult to navigate through life and relationship-most often the ones that mean the most to us.

My clients seek to go "further faster." Many are eager to perform better in their careers. They may feel they lack focus or feel strongly they are being undervalued and overworked. They also know they are capable of much more. They are typically being paid several thousand less per month than they could be. (I know, I was once there too.) I provide the needed insight, assessment, encouragement and positioning. Sometimes they need counseling to deal with blind spots, sometimes coaching, sometimes a hybrid. Does this sound like you? Let's talk and see if we are the right fit.

I now have evening and weekend availability! Knowing how to seek help and support for whatever issues are going on in your life or the life of someone you care about such as a spouse or child can be very difficult. I have been told that I provide a safe and supportive environment which facilitates opening up and confronting issues. As a therapist, I strongly believe that it is critical to meet people where they are at in their life, not forcing change, but rather stimulating and motivating change providing individualized treatment for each client. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy.

Are you ready to transform your relationship into a fulfilling, lasting partnership? I'm here to guide you through that journey with effective, easy-to-grasp techniques designed to resolve relationship and marital conflicts, rebuild trust, and enhance emotional intimacy. Unlike traditional methods that often involve complex jargon and burdensome homework, my approach gets straight to the core of your relationship's unique dynamics, empowering you and your partner to flourish together.

Wouldn’t it be helpful if communication in your relationships created closeness rather than distance? You care deeply about the people in your life but are feeling uncertain how to strengthen those relationships. We are often trying to figure out how to improve our lives as we go, and certainly get frustrated when attempts fall short. This frustration can lead to feeling disconnected and unsure what to do differently.

Welcome, anxious women! It's great that you're finally doing something for yourself. Anxious women tend to be overwhelmed, feel that we don't matter, feel disappointed by our partner not supporting us, and worried about not being the best mom, wife, or employee that we can be.

Your first couple sessions will involve us getting familiar with each other, working together to complete a comprehensive assessment, and beginning to develop the goals for your treatment. From there, our work together will be driven by you and guided by me.

I have worked with kids and their families for over 25 years. My favorite children and teens are strong willed, capable, and smart (academic and/or common sense). I see kids ranging from 3 year old to college students. Some of the most common issues that I work with are ADD/ADHD, Oppositional/Defiant, Depression, Anxiety and Bipolar Disorders. Other general issues are poor social skills, difficulty with frustration, poor communication skills and parent-child conflict. Because so many of the families that I see are struggling with how get along easily, I prefer to include parents whenever possible.
