Asperger's Syndrome Therapists in Phoenix, AZ

You don't have to do this alone. I have 20 years of experience dealing with issues affecting young children and their caregivers. I provide psychological assessment and treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorders (children and adults), parent/child relationship issues, abuse/trauma/neglect, and attachment/foster-care/adoption issues. All family members can receive assessment and treatment, regardless of age, in order to improve individual and family functioning, and the experience of joy. I also assess children in their school or daycare setting, and provide assistance with IEP/IFSP meetings. I use both relational and behavioral strategies for treatment.

I believe that counseling is about empowering us to make the positive changes in our lives that we believe we need to live a fulfilling and happy life. Sometimes we have learned dysfunctional thought processes from the experiences life has provided us. Having a trusted professional to help us sift through our beliefs and thoughts in a non judgmental way can provide us with a different perspective, can enables us to make the changes that we already know we need to make, but have been unable to make happen.

Do you struggle with wanting to change but don't know where to start or what to do? Life throws many challenges at us and it can be hard to cope with them. You may be holding on to old wounds that have traumatized you. Your family might argue a lot and wish they could just talk to each other. You may be a parent of a neurodiverse child in need of guidance. Or maybe you see the world differently than other people and don't really fit in. Whatever it is that brought you here, you deserve to be happy and in control of your life.

If you experienced something traumatic; I am proof that you can heal! If you have struggled with addiction; I can relate. If you’re finding your way through a complex relationship; I got your back! Trauma, addiction, and complex relationships all impact us similarly. As the owner of small group practice 'Noble Path Counseling & Consulting', I ensure that my team of professionals can relate to your situation and also provide you with highly specialized skills tailored to your needs. Let us help you overcome whatever obstacles you face so that you can start living your best life ASAP!

Making life changes can feel overwhelming; my goal, as a clinician, is to help foster personal growth and provide you with skills needed to manage & overcome difficult life stressors.

As a therapist, I am concerned with the total health & well-being of the individual or the family unit. I have a passion for working with older children, adolescents, adults & couples to help them increase skill sets for healthier relationships.

Throughout my life I searched for ways to use empathy to empower and show others that there is hope even when it feels like there could never be. Purely seeking therapy is empowering and instills hope for our future. Although this work can be difficult, there is a reward. I approach counseling through a systemic and holistic framework. I believe every individual and their needs and goals are unique and completely original. Utilizing a mixture of therapeutic approaches, I aim towards creating an empowering space to meet you where you're at. My goal is to support and empower you through healing, self-exploration and expression.
