Therapists in Scottsdale, AZ

Life can be so challenging. Stress builds up and we get stuck in dysfunctional behavioral patterns and negative thought loops. Relationships are sometimes hard work, and we find ourselves going round & round with our partner, child or parent—feeling unheard, misunderstood, frustrated and disconnected. Often our reactions to present day stressors stem from early life experiences or unresolved trauma. Healing happens in the presence of someone who sees us and accepts us just as we are; and can help us process emotions like anxiety, despair, anger, shame, grief, and longing. This leads to greater self-understanding and self-compassion.

The decision to seek therapy can feel difficult and intimidating. Many hesitate to reach out for fear of judgment and shame. I welcome all parts of you and want for you a space where you can feel less guarded and more open to explore. Through compassionate guidance and exploration, we strive to restore broken bonds with self and others. My approach is casual, compassionate and non judgmental. I love rooting for people and all people in all bodies are welcome here.

I specialize in supporting individuals of all ages through life challenges and transitions. Some challenges I help with include stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, illness, and grief. I also help clients with parenting challenges and personal goal setting. I use play therapy to help children. I believe that it can sometimes be helpful to look back and process the influences of our strengths, internal challenges, thoughts, emotions, and triggers. Therapy provides an opportunity for improved mental and physical health. It can empower others to use their natural strengths and build upon their skills as they navigate challenges.

As I embarked on my journey as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I encountered individuals grappling with various challenges, from trauma and grief to addiction and mental illness. It was during this time that I discovered my passion for helping those struggling with sex addiction, compulsive sexual behaviors and betrayal trauma. I saw the profound impact it had on individuals, relationships, and families, and I felt compelled to offer specialized support in this area.

As a Sex and Relationship Therapist, I believe it is each person's birthright to have the knowledge, understanding, and support to achieve freedom of sexual expression.

I provide a sex-positive therapy room affirming all sexual orientations and relationship types.

Welcome to Scottsdale Women's Psychology, a boutique psychology practice specializing in women's empowerment through the delivery of gender-sensitive, research-supported psychotherapy for women.

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 may have something to do with your dysfunctional childhood and never feeling 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.

There are so many factors that hinder us from being our best selves. Life can be hard and many of us need occasional guidance. Whether you need a little bit of help or lots of help, you have come to the right person for the RIGHT help!

I specialize in families/couples, and I am an Idaho licensed LMFT and Arizona licensed LAMFT. Often clients seek therapy because they have become stuck.
