EMDR Therapists in Phoenix, AZ

Life often presents us with difficult challenges, causing stress and discomfort. These are not things you have to navigate alone. In my practice, I work to create a safe, compassionate, and collaborative environment with you to address life stressors and promote healing. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, trauma, depression, relational difficulties, attachment wounds, stress management, and life transitions. My approach to therapy is person-centered and trauma informed.

Are you struggling to function in the present or feeling paralyzed by events of the past? Are you experiencing the effects of debilitating grief and loss? Are you feeling stifled from reaching your full potential and connecting to how you are being led moment by moment? Whether your blocks are the result of PTSD, abuse, chronic pain or illness, or painful losses, there is hope for the future. It is possible to live a life freed from the symptoms that prevent you from engaging fully in life. Now you can live the life purpose for which you have been created. You can soar freed from the chains that bind.

You may not see it or believe it yet, but you have what it takes to transform your challenges into strength and resilience. Whether you are navigating trauma, grief, complex family dynamics, anxiety, depression or simply looking to get unstuck from a negative cycle, I take a strength-based and collaborative approach to create a tailored plan of healing and transformation. Our work together may include exploring and untangling past experiences, integrating mindfulness, developing healthy coping skills and setting new habits for self-care. My goal is to empower you with insights and skills to thrive.

Accepting new clients! I will be with you during the most difficult phases of your life. You set the goals for change, and I will help guide you to reach them. I specialize in healing from traumatic experiences and relationships. You can't always change your circumstances, but that doesn't mean you are stuck. You are not what happened to you. It is okay to have support while you learn about what this world has to teach and offer. Adapt, and explore your own power. Give yourself permission to create the most beautiful life you can dream. You deserve happiness and peace.

I work with kids, tweens, and teens who are struggling. You’ve noticed they’re not as interested in their friends, school, or activities they used to love. They have difficulty sleeping and complain of aches and pains. They were outgoing but now they’re anxious. Or something unimaginable has happened to your family- and you've tried to help your child, and it's not working. Maybe you’re not sure what’s causing this behavior - you’re worried you’re parenting wrong when all you want to do is love and support your child.

My practice focuses on liberation--whether overcoming complex trauma, shame, eating disorders, addiction, self-esteem, body image, difficulty attaching (codependency and/or anti-dependency) or sexual compulsivity, my goal is to join individuals in their discovery that change IS possible. Treatment formats include individual process therapy, EMDR and experiential therapies. Specialties include trauma, attachment, sexuality, relationship patterns, body image, social justice issues, and spiritual integration to treatment.

I treat individuals and couples using an attachment and trauma-informed lens. My primary modalities are Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing ( EMDR ) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I've helped hundreds of individuals and couples heal, recover, and grow from whatever is holding them back. I have a down-to-earth approach and aim to make each of my clients feel seen and heard while creating new opportunities for healthy change. I am faith-friendly and believe in the importance of meeting my clients wherever they are at. If you would like to see if I am a good fit for you, I encourage you to schedule a free consultation call.
