Congratulations on making a decision to enter into a journey of healing! I am originally from Southern California and have lived in Arizona for 36 years. I have more than 23 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults presenting with an array of difficulties. An ideal client is someone who is open to embracing the idea of transcending oneself. This means to move past old patterns and become something better, through growth and change.

Trained in CBT, DBT, ACT, Psychodynamic, EMDR, and Mindfulness.
You may have been sitting in your car, gripping your steering wheel as your heart pounded in your chest, wondering if you could ever get help. For years, you may have carried your own trauma or issues with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, impulsive actions, or emotions that feel impossible to control in silence - feeling their overwhelming weight that seems as though it can never be left behind. There may have been a time when you felt more like yourself, and you want that back. Or there may be no sense of who this self is, and you would like to understand who you have the potential of being.

Together we will work to uncover the details of your story, developing coping strategies through mindfulness, meditation, interpersonal solutions.
You’re wrong again! Or at least thats what you’ve been told, over&over again, to the point that your brain feels like its floating in acid water, slowing dissolving your ability to perceive any given situation or memory of a conversation accurately. You don’t recall having problems with memory or perception before this relationship. You’re struggling to make sense of things. This is just one of the effects of narcissistic abuse. Its gaslighting, an insidious tool used to erode your ability to perceive reality and its also one of the common tools used by a narcissist to control and manipulate you into a weaker version of yourself.

Relationships and life in general can be stressful, frustrating, and disappointing. We are often taught to work more, give everything, try harder and keep going at all costs. But for many of us, this becomes a never-ending cycle of exhaustion that can lead to anxiety and depression. My goal is to provide you with a safe and collaborative environment to help you develop the confidence to get what you want out of your life. I am passionate about self-care and I believe caring for your mental health should be given the same attention as caring for your physical health.

It happened again. Another restless night. Another day trying to put on a happy face. Another day working hard to keep all the worry, negative feelings, stress and exhaustion buried inside. You are overwhelmed and can’t understand how you got here. Life is stressful. Constant worry, anxiousness, sadness, feelings of emptiness, irritability are all ways that our bodies can respond to the stress of life. Painful life experiences have a way of making us feel trapped. Maybe something painful has happened to you or your child recently or in the past and no matter how hard you have tried to work through it, nothing seems to be working.

New clients for myself are currently on a wait-list and therapist, Shelby Steele, is accepting new clients for private pay. See our website for more details. One of our passions and biggest joys at Healing Moments is supporting others and witnessing individuals heal and grow. I believe in the "magic" of therapy and feel honored to be apart of others' healing journey. I see how the mind and body have a relationship with one another and often need time and support to be in alignment. I am intentional on providing a space for each person to find and become their authentic selves.
