Therapists in South Scottsdale, Scottsdale, AZ

I am passionate about creating a supportive, empathetic environment where my clients feel empowered and encouraged to open up and be their authentic selves. When we feel safe and accepted for who we are, we can step forward and be vulnerable, which in turn allows us to foster deeper connections with ourselves and our loved ones. This is the therapeutic environment that I strive towards, through a mixture of warmth, humor and authenticity. Together, we can work to understand attachment injuries that shape us and our relationships, and generate insight-based change. This space is for you.

I am a licensed psychologist, specializing in treatment of anxiety, mood disorders, and trauma.

Now accepting new clients and couples. Sometimes life can be overwhelming, overbearing, and downright difficult. You’re not alone in your struggle.

Where people feel important, valued, understood, and welcomed. Then we can work together to challenge the thought patterns and emotional limitations we may put on ourselves.

My style is compassionate yet direct, and I have personal life experiences that give me an insight and empathy level that quickly facilitates trust and rapport.

Choosing a psychotherapist is rarely an easy decision. Can I trust this person? Will she be able to understand me? I believe that feeling respected and heard is the first step in a therapist-client relationship. People come to me with many concerns that can rob them of optimism and hope, and leave them feeling anxious, worried, alone, sad or frightened whether it is due to life transitions, relationship conflicts, or managing emotional challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, isolation, loneliness perfectionism, and grief including pet grief.

Life can be unpredictable at times and it’s always okay to ask for help. Therapy can help explore skills to help manage life in all its ups and downs. Through utilizing an eclectic approach with emphasis on interpersonal behavioral and strengths-based practice, we can identify goals and potential solutions to problems that cause emotional turmoil. My approach is to allow clients to enter a safe environment, gain trust in themselves, and live their true authentic lives. I enjoy using a holistic approach. I utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), CBT, Mindfulness and a person-centered approach.
