Therapists in Vail, AZ

Do you want to learn how to make meaningful changes so you can have the life and relationships you want? We face many difficulties in life. Many of these difficulties are not our fault. Other difficulties we start to notice repeating in our lives, and we start to realize we likely have a part in this difficulty recurring in our life. We end up in similar relationships with different people, or we change jobs but end up having a similar difficulty at our new job. Or, maybe you want to be proactive and prevent this from happening. Do you want to learn about yourself so you can learn to have the relationships and life you really want?

As an art therapist and clinical mental health counselor, I work primarily with adult women who have a desire to explore and transform emotions and symptoms into authentic expressions through art making. Sessions often include talking, mindfulness, somatic grounding, art making, and other forms of holistic and evidence-based therapies. Through the process of creative exploration, clients discover strengths and resources within themselves that help them solve problems and recover a deeper sense of self.

My goal throughout my 30 plus years of practice has been to help you find peace in your otherwise difficult situation - comfort that may not be conceivable when you face your pain alone.

Establishing solid mental health can also prevent related physical illnesses; consultation will benefit your entire being. Being treated in my safe, nurturing environment will enable you to leave with renewed strength and confidence for enjoying your life.

Thoughts are very powerful things. Sometimes we get stuck in negative, self-defeating thought spirals. We might think we're not good enough or that we're somehow undeserving of love, respect, and success. Often these thoughts are so automatic that we simply accept them as true. My goal as a therapist is to help people examine and question their negative self-beliefs. With a more accurate and balanced understanding of our talents, strengths, and value, our lives become fuller as we open up to new possibilities. I'd like to help you on your journey.

The essence of my counseling approach is that I know each person to be whole and unique regardless of what is currently being experienced. I help clients focus on areas of difficulty with kind acceptance. Knots of anxiety, depression and unhappiness unravel and resolve into greater peace. One begins to know oneself as bigger than the problem. I teach cognitive behavioral skills of mindfulness, centering and focusing to allow a greater repertoire of responses to habitual problem areas. I provide a safe place to explore one's deeper self and resolve issues that block happiness and the realization of potential.

You’re the person who: feels like you should have it together but is wondering where you fit; feels like people "just can’t know this thing about me"; looks like someone but feels like someone else; carries a secret that no one can know about. You're wondering “who am I now” and terrified that the people you love most will see that. There’s a part of you that feels so hidden, so shameful that you don’t dare tell anyone. You’re certain that if they find out, they won’t want you any more. And so you keep everyone away from that part; finally, that has meant keeping everyone away. You're hurting. You're lost. And you are lonely.

I provide counseling to individuals 14 years +, couples, and families who want to improve their connection with self and those they are in relation to. I believe that family systems, our relationships, how we see and what we expect of ourselves and others, are at the core of our "issues". It is our relationship to our "issues" and not the "issue" itself, that causes us difficulties in our every day life. I will work beside you as you uncover your authentic self and realize that your connection with others will be the loving, caring, respectful relationships that we all desire.

I would like to support you in your healing journey while emphasizing growth and helping you reach your desired goals.

Accepting New Clients! I enjoy working with clients from all walks of life. My primary goal is to understand the tapestry of experiences that have shaped the human sitting in front of me. I believe that desire to learn and understand, creates a safe environment that allows hard things to be talked about. With the ability to tell their story, clients can process and heal. I have been fortunate enough over the course of my career, to have been able to work with clients experiencing a multitude of difficulties ranging from low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, lack of motivation, relationship distress, women's issues, trauma and more.
