For over years, I have worked successfully with individuals, couples, families, children, adolescents and groups, in private practice and in-hospital, to achieve their therapeutic goals. I offer you a warm, supportive environment where you can safely explore your feelings, thoughts, and problems. I will engage with you in a highly interactive style and provide direct feedback. I especially enjoy working with couples to improve their lives together, and guiding people who are in search of a healthy relationship. I'm ready to help with DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, TRAUMA, RELATIONSHIPS, PTSD, DIVORCE and TRANSITIONS for clients of ALL ages.

The complexities of families and relationships have intrigued me ever since I was a young girl. Even after 30+ years of practice in the field of Marriage and Family Therapy, I'm still intrigued and challenged to find creative ways to solve the difficulties we all encounter in our relationships with others. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Arizona I have been a member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) since 1981. I am a Past President of the Arizona Division of AAMFT. I am in private practice working with individuals, couples and families.

Life: ever changing and often challenging. I offer a safe and collaborative therapeutic relationship where you can expand your ability to improve the quality of your life. Therapy can provide understanding, relief from suffering, and empowerment. Each person or couple benefits from therapy designed specifically for them.

CLINICAL, SPORT & PERFORMANCE PSYCHOLOGY: Mental Game Coach certified by the International Golf Psychology Association. My practice includes working with athletes, performers, and the like-minded. That "thing" of yours (pre-performance anxiety, choking, feeling like a fraud, self-sabotage, etc.) has created enough problems. Enough already. What would you be doing if that "thing" was not in your way? Imagine making that putt, rocking that assignment, nailing that performance, or enjoying the one you are with.

I provide psychotherapy to individuals, couples, families, adolescents and children. My general areas of interest are autistic spectrum disorders, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationships, eating disorders and trauma, and obsessive compulsive problems. My experience has been that psychological change and changes in life circumstances become possible and more probable when a person understands how their mind works; how thoughts and feelings influence what happens internally and in relation to others. Therapy can help a patient obtain a greater degree of control in managing feeling states and the thoughts related to these.

I work with a range of issues from substance abuse, stress, depression, couples issues, trauma and abuse, parent guidance issues and more. I have been in private practice for more than 25 years, working both short term and long term with a variety of clients. Therapy is not lightly undertaken. My job is to help you with the problems you bring to the table, and help you discover the answers that are hiding within you. I work in a warm client-centered, interactional style, and actively verbally engage in the process with you. I blend traditional techniques with modern.

Immediate openings! I am currently working towards an AASECT approved Sex Therapy Certification. My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, patient, and free of judgment. My primary focus is helping heal connections within couples and families. I have experience working with individuals with trauma, neurodiversity, mood disorders, identity issues, grief, loss, and many more populations. I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming, kink affirming, and ethical non-monogamy affirming therapist.

I am a dedicated therapist at Desert Horizons Therapy, specializing in providing support to adults and children facing a range of mental health challenges, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, substance use, intense anger, trauma, and relationship issues.

Stressors are apart of everyday life, but sometimes we need someone to provide an objective lens and safe space to share our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. As a clinical professional counselor and counselor educator, I care most about my clients and how I can help support them in managing their stressors. With over 10 years of experience working with children, individuals, and couples with varying levels of mental health related concerns and disorders, I look forward to helping you in a supportive and productive way.

Hope and happiness are achievable by improving your mental health and well-being. I provide therapy to the “whole” person with support, validation, non-judgment, guidance, and compassion. My breadth of knowledge consists of trauma-informed care using different approaches to customize your experience and healing journey. It takes a lot of courage and vulnerability to ask for help. I provide a safe space to talk about your struggles and challenges and I welcome vulnerability and the processing of emotions. I equate vulnerability as a strength, not a weakness.

Immediate openings available. Book directly through my website or email me to get started on your healing journey. I believe that each individual is uniquely different and thrives with individualized counseling. I believe the best approach to counseling is through open dialogue and exploring what works best for you. Throughout our sessions we will work together to explore unresolved issues from your past, current life stressors and how to move forward to become your best self.

My passion is serving couples, families and women. I find I have the most success in supporting women (emphasis on ages 18- 30's), and the unique challenges we face. If you are struggling with negative self talk, difficulty putting yourself first and saying "no" to others, or other difficulties creating anxiety.. I'm here to listen & support. Regarding success in serving couples and families (LGBTQIA+ affirming), I take an emotionally focused approach and ground in communication skills. I will work with you to find the emotional root of the issues you see resurfacing, so cycles are put to an end & you feel at ease.

Navigating through changes and transitions can be challenging and alienating. I offer a new perspective and a helpful therapeutic partnership. I feel it is a true privilege to be part of one's healing journey. My practice is inspired by Person Centered Therapy and a diverse study of methods ranging from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance, Commitment, and strengths-based therapy. I believe that no two clients are the same, and that a practice must be an individualized collaboration based on mutual authenticity and honesty. These are among the compassionate qualities which allow for a genuine therapeutic alliance.

I believe that lasting change is a process and not an event. Whether you interested in establishing sobriety, addressing relapse, or have been sober for a while and want to work on underlying issues, I welcome you. I believe that most often substance use is a symptom of underlying issues and people are self-medicating. If these issues are not addressed a person will relapse. I specialize in co-occurring disorders including Depression, Bi-polar Disorder, Anxiety and Trauma. I have over twenty years of both personal and professional experience in addiction recovery.

The ever-changing circumstances and obstacles throughout our lives may be overwhelming and difficult to overcome. Therefore, seeking guidance for self-discovery, life transitions or managing your mental health concerns can be a difficult decision. It is important to have a safe and non-judgmental place to explore your inner thoughts and behaviors. Engagement in therapy will facilitate one’s achievements of their goals and new way of living. By taking this first step you will increase your sense of personal control, learn new skills, and enhance your overall well-being.

Hi. Come talk about what matters to you most. Together, we walk. Explore. Meander. Clarify. I love what I do and will help you feel better. I can help with multicultural issues, relocation, or if you're struggling with addiction, overcoming trauma, relationships, questions about polyamory, depression or abuse. If life has lost its meaning and you’re missing adventure, intimacy, greater self-expression and passion, let’s go. If you don’t talk about it, it won’t get better. I’m supportive, alternative, warm and kind. You’ll feel comfortable, and challenge thoughts and perceptions preventing you from getting out of your own way.

Seeking treatment is a huge step. You're a strong and capable person for doing so. Whether you need extra support, affirming space or have a problem to solve, I am here to help. Psychotherapy provides safe space to reevaluate priorities, slow down and find ease. I approach therapy with humor, warmness and analogy in helping clients see different perspectives. My approach is solution oriented while being eclectic, exploratory and expansive. Therapy is focused on establishing a full picture of client history, relationships and current levels of functioning. Then collaboratively a treatment plan is established to meet client goals.

I am passionate about working with people who are dealing with symptoms of trauma/abuse, and other issues related to identity development and self-worth. My approach in therapy is warm, genuine, person-centered (as opposed to symptom-centered) and collaborative. Starting from a place of compassion and self-acceptance is essential for real change to occur. I provide a safe space for clients to explore the deepest aspects of themselves. To create a sense of safety, I listen without judgment, interact with genuineness, provide empathic reflection and feedback, and treat clients with respect and unconditional positive regard.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist working as a depth psychologist. I enjoy working with people to find meaningful insights and fresh perspectives in effort to break old patterns of life experiences such as dissatisfying relationships, loneliness, unhappiness, fear of failure, feeling misunderstood, emotional hurt, disappointment, loss, depression and/or anxiety. I strive to create the feeling of being well understood so that we may proceed together in exploring and uncovering what lies beneath the initial symptoms that are presented. From there, I hope that effective and lasting changes eventually take place.
