Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Scottsdale, AZ

I am not currently taking new clients, but will in about a month or so. Understanding that seeking professional help can be overwhelming, but remembering that this is is a courageous and empowering decision. You deserve support and guidance on your journey towards well-being. I can be that support for you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Arizona State University in 2018. I have experience working with diverse populations and all age ranges from children as young as 7, to adolescents, to adults, and older adults. My background includes therapy with individuals, couples, families, and groups who have been challenged with depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, bipolar disorder, psychosis, substance use, grief and loss, mood disorders and personality disorders.

I work with adults who have experienced trauma or life events that have resulted in unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and feelings. You might notice them presenting as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and problems with relationships or performance. With a background in nursing, I appreciate how harmony between our thoughts, emotions, body, and spirit influences our health. Exploring those areas along with your life experiences, values, beliefs, and burdens, and identifying your internal resources helps to create more space for self-acceptance and change.

What would you do if you no longer felt tied down by your past? If you no longer felt something was “missing” from your life...that any symptoms of anxiety, depression, exhaustion, negative self talk and feelings of disconnection were gone? My passion is to help you uncover the answers to such questions and provide support throughout your counseling journey.

As a first responder, public safety worker or medical provider, are you feeling exhausted, burned out and really need to talk to someone, in confidence who understands the culture and nuances of your work demands and responsibilities? I am here to help you feel better.

Are you looking for a nonjudgmental, safe space to learn skills to feel better? Clients that seek me out are often looking for support in managing intense emotions like anxiety, depression, and mania. They often feel powerless over their feelings. For children and teens, sometimes this is observed through behaviors like isolation, acting out, or self-harming. Many times they wish there was a magic pill that could just solve all their problems so they could not feel like they are simply surviving. As we work together we will improve coping skills, connect with meaning and purpose, manage distress and create a more fulfilling life.

Hi there- I work with highly motivated individuals who have endured childhood/recent trauma or who are struggling with recurring emotional pain who want freedom, and healing, and have the desire to feel less sensitive to the thoughts, emotional pain, or images. If you are looking for a therapist who creates a safe therapeutic environment and focuses on overcoming challenges and skill-building to find healing, we may be a good fit. You may have tried a variety of things before and it can be frustrating. I want you to see some real change and feel better. You can contact me today for a free consultation.
