Trauma Focused Therapists in Scottsdale, AZ
I specialize in working with late diagnosed neurodivergent women who are rediscovering who they are, or are truly discovering themselves for the first time. I understand personally what this is like and how disheartening it is to search for stability and consistency post burnout. As a late diagnosed AuDHD woman myself, I understand how jarring and hopeless it is to find yourself here without a map to get you back to your baseline.
As a therapist and art therapist, I will help you navigate this unique grief, while assisting you in discovering what matters to you most moving forward. You do not need to do this alone.

I believe that everyone deserves the chance to build a life that they look forward to living, and I am passionate about working with clients to gain the tools they need to achieve this. Life is too precious to allow for painful past experiences and traumas to control you, troubling interpersonal challenges to hinder you, or to experience anxiety, anger and sadness more often than true happiness. Making the decision to seek out therapy can be difficult as is, so my goal as your therapist is to meet you where you are at and help you determine what your specific goals are and how we can achieve them.

You as a couple can be so much happier in the next 40 years if you do couples therapy today.

I wish that every couple would include couples therapy as they plan for their wedding, because this is the most important element in insuring a successful happy future.
