Veterans Therapists in Camelback East, Phoenix, AZ

I truly believe healing is not a “one-size-fits-all’ practice. I approach every client with an open heart and mind, acknowledging and honoring one’s truth. I embrace a holistic approach uniquely tailored to fit the needs of each individual client. I focus heavily on understanding my client’s specific perspective on the world and utilize that knowledge to provide the most thorough and compassionate care possible. You are the expert of your own life. It is my goal to provide a safe space for you to turn up the volume on your own intuition, and walk yourself back home.

My view on therapy is very simple, though not always easy: 'through relationships, we heal’. Many of the barriers that inhibit healthy relationships include negative self-talk, fear of judgement, and our need to maintain a sense of control, especially when we are deeply hurt or wounded. Trauma does not discriminate and it does not wait for an opportune time to present, but we can make sense of it and heal old wounds that hold us back from really connecting with those we love.

You can break free of things like worry, bad relationships, or regrets. You don't need to keep living without hope... claim a dream for your future! There are solutions! Together, we can name those thoughts and memories that bother, hurt, or worry you the most. Make room for new thoughts! Living with anxiety, depression, or obsessions, often causes us to relieve that stress in very powerful, sometimes heartbreaking ways. Wouldn't it be great to feel peaceful, or strong, or in love, or powerful, or... Contact me now for your free consultation!

Quantum Psychology Life Coaching is a process of implementing critical thinking into action, by testing hypotheses and applying analytical thinking. Together we develop a working relationship "creating a future", rather than "getting over" the past. Coaching is NOT suitable for SMI clients.

Based in Phoenix, I work with clients around the country and the world as licensing allows, including via Telehealth. I'm so glad you're here. The world can feel like an inhospitable home at times. Relationships can be unsettled, self-medicating can dominate, and the past can haunt like a persistent familiar ghost. Healing is necessary, because you are necessary. No matter how you may struggle - there is no one else quite like you, you are the very best at being you, you possess gifts and magic that only you can bring to the world. Therapy is about coming home to yourself - your physical body, emotional body or heart, and mind.

I have a passion for working with individuals and couples who are experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, or relationship difficulties. I also love to work with those who are interested in fostering deeper emotional connections to their partner or building back a better relationship after infidelity or violation of each others' trust. I also have experience working with individuals with sex addiction/ compulsive sexual behaviors and maintaining sobriety from substances and alcohol

My clients learn to break self-defeating thoughts and behaviors by helping them seek the possibilities by working towards acceptance, forgiveness, and compassion. I also provide several different evidenced based interventions. I coach my clients in developing healthy coping skills, incorporating, health, mind, and spiritual perspective enhancing one's ability to reach their full potental.

As an EMDR Certified, Level 1-Trained IFS Psychologist, I work collaboratively with clients to generate short-term and long-term goals leading to changes which bring more acceptance, joy, and contentment in life. Along the way, skills will be developed that help clients feel more resilient which may allow them to step out of the habits & patterns that have brought frustration/angst to their lives. Clinical approaches help gain more clarity about the impact of key events, issues and patterns in life. I seek to understand the impact of one's lived experience, family history, values, etc. on development & relationships with others.

I offer in-person counseling as well as video counseling via Doxy, a HIPPA compliant service. I believe that the client-therapist relationship is key in helping people address the life challenges that bring them to counseling. You may be struggling with depression, anxiety, or grief and loss that interferes with building and enjoying meaningful relationships. Perhaps self-esteem is an issue for you. I will share your goal of finding your answers to a thriving, high functioning new beginning.
