Therapists in Scottsdale, AZ

Finding peace, clarity and happiness isn't easy when life brings confusion, pain, loneliness and disconnection from yourself and others- and I'd like to help. There is hope for change. I know because I've been through struggles too, and because you are reading this now I believe this is your time to reach out and claim your inner power and authentic self waiting to bring you joy. To assist in your journey, I use experience together with training I receive as a therapist at The Meadows, a world-renowned treatment facility for anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and relationship issues, along with several other treatment models.

Whether your goal is symptom relief, healing from trauma, performing well at your optimal career, finding the love you want, or igniting your Spirituality and potential for joy beyond daily routines, your current longing is most likely due to something unresolved from the past. Old wounds, left buried and unattended to, underlie symptoms limiting your current life. The longer we wait to face and heal wounds of the past, the longer we live less than who we really are, less than our optimal selves. Healing, vitality and living your full potential come from adaptively processing, understanding, and integrating those past experiences.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in Scottsdale, Arizona. I specialize in treating adults with anxiety disorders (e.g., obsessive-compulsive, phobias, panic, trauma, social anxiety) and depression. I do psychotherapy the way I'd like to receive it; I use a Rogerian client-centered, empathetic stance with unconditional positive regard. I modify my approach depending on each individual's needs (e.g., CBT or more directive when requested by clients). I also treat impression management (e.g, acting like a "chameleon").

I believe we all have the capacity to learn, grow, heal and create long-lasting change. We hold the innate ability to discover and realize our true potential and live an authentic life in line with our deepest values. I view therapy as a shared, supportive, compassionate journey that can help you tune into your authentic self, develop attainable goals and work toward sustainable, meaningful change. By holistically addressing and integrating mind, body and spirit, all kinds of challenges-depression, anxiety, divorce, stress, relationship issues, grief, life transitions, and trauma-can be better understood and overcome.

I became a licensed counselor in 2012. Prior to that I was mentored by some highly-trained LMFT’s in Utah. The spark for clinical work came in 2007 while working as a Case Manager at a Residential Treatment Center for teens in beautiful St George, Utah. I guess I was destined for the desert and never knew it. I’ve had two beautiful children since then— who are my world. I’ve worked in private practice, outpatient and inpatient at several phoenix hospitals, outpatient clinic, directed the Intake Department at Haven Behavioral Health Hospital, and managed mental health intake at the State Prison Complex in Phoenix.

Between the phone calls home from school and the changes in their mood and behavior, when your child is struggling it can feel extremely isolating and stressful. You have likely followed accounts on Instagram or TikTok that teach you deep breathing and other calming techniques. You have tried them with your child time and time again, but have found little success. You've considered reaching out for help, but taking that next step is difficult because how could anyone understand what your child and family are going through? Friends and family tell you they understand, but they don't.

IS AGING AN ATTITUDE OR JUST A NUMBER? ARE YOU REALLY ONLY AS OLD AS YOU FEEL? SOME DAYS FEELING OLDER THAN OTHERS AND WONDERING "WHAT HAVE I DONE WITH MY LIFE?" A positive outlook can enhance the quality of life but sometimes that is just not enough. Growing older presents many challenges: physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally and cognitively. An integrated approach to improving quality of life is our approach. With you, we can address concerns about facing loss, changing relationships, dealing with adult sons and daughters, and/or reviewing life events that have affected your current mood and emotions.

I recognize how much courage and strength it takes to reclaim the parts of your life trauma has taken from you. You have all the resources you need to face life’s challenges. However, in times of great distress or prolonged stress our nervous systems can get overloaded making it hard - or at times even impossible - to access that strength and wisdom when we are in survival mode. As a trauma therapist with a concentration in eating disorders, my job is to create a safe space, really taking the time to get to know you, so that I can help you to access your own strength, intuition, and to reconnect with your inner voice.

Everyone thinks you’ve got it together, but the loud, incessant voice of your inner critic is telling you that you’re never going to be enough. You are a perfectionist and take pride in the things you do. When you hear the words, “imposter syndrome”, you can completely relate. You hope nobody knows that you truly don’t have it together at all. You struggle in relationships, and part of you knows that it has to do with your upbringing. You always wanted their approval but never truly felt seen. You have big emotions, you don’t want to be seen as “too much”, and you most definitely don’t want to feel rejected.

Hi. Im Allie. What do you need? This is where we start. Need is a strength, not a weakness. Whether personal growth, relationships, grieving, healing of past abuse, trauma or codependency, leadership skills, or overcoming that dang shame judge in our heads, we need support. Isolation is not helpful to us, and I encourage you to build a life team of authentic relationships. I am trained in the Townsend Model of Competency and Character Growth incorporating Grace, Truth and Time to your bonding, boundaries, accepting reality and embracing your competency for good fruit to grow in your personal, professional and relational life.
