Therapists in Phoenix, AZ

Hi! I specialize in the treatment of Trauma, Anxiety, PTSD, & Narcissistic Abuse. My methods includes EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy for trauma), CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy). I apply a systems approach to life, feeling passionate about how our physical, mental, social, spiritual, and psychological systems can work together to improve our overall health.  I value the importance of the therapeutic alliance, and am dedicated to helping my clients feel seen, heard, and understood.

I want to make sure that the client and I are a fit when it comes to rapport. That looks like feeling comfortable sharing content that might cause uncomfortableness due to fearing judgment. If established in the first meeting, I feel confident in working with those with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, self-harming behaviors, family conflicts, grief, and performance issues in school, sports, or career (to name a few). I believe the treatment models that I use can build their resilience to deal with past, current, and future challenges.

You may have landed on this professional profile because you are taking stock of your life and realize that the life you have is not the one you envisioned for yourself. Whether you are bored or in a lot of pain, you may be seeking growth and change, possibly a sense of aliveness. Counseling can be a safe, nurturing setting to slow down and listen to your soul and your body. As you become aware of yourself, you begin to understand how you got to where you are, why you do what you do, and what new paths are possible to you. As a trained therapist from a relational-psychodynamic perspective, I see therapy as a collaborative process.

Reaching out to a therapist can feeling overwhelming. I'm glad you did! I'm here to hold space for you, to help you grow and expand with caring support, and to gently challenge you. Whether you're looking to heal from trauma, reduce anxiety, navigate a life transition, get unstuck from an unhelpful thinking pattern, or you want a nonjudgemental space, I am here for you. I will show up for you non-judgmentally and empathetically.

Reaching out for support can be difficult. Often when we finally decide to reach out we are already experiencing overwhelm and feeling discouraged. Maybe you are experiencing anxiety, having difficulty sleeping, being more irritable than usual, or having difficulty enjoying things in your day to day life. If you've experienced trauma you could be struggling with flashbacks, fear, avoidance, and difficulty moving forward in you life. Maybe your child or teen is having new behaviors, tantrums, isolation, or difficulty with connection. I am here for all of you and will stand with you on your healing journey.

In therapy we learn to address problems we've been avoiding because they cause us pain or discomfort. For many, avoiding problems has become a problem in itself. You may experience issues with personal productivity, mood, traumatic memories, substance use, or social anxiety. These concerns can be distressing, but they are all manageable with the right skills. A great therapist, Carl Rogers, said “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself, just as I am, then I can change.” Therapy can help you learn skills to get this process of self-acceptance and positive change started.

I am sorry for the pain or challenge that has brought you to seek therapy. I care deeply about helping people fully inhabit their pain, learn how to explore/ "be" with it, and use it to live fuller, bigger lives. I provide my clients a supportive, nonjudgmental environment to uncover the truth about their current experience, identify their wants/needs, and ultimately live with committed action in the service of their values. Having 20+ years of experience with specialized therapies of DBT, EMDR, and ACT, I can provide you with a multitude of interventions/techniques that support either greater acceptance or change in your life.

I do believe that change happens when people are given the guidance they need to draw on their own strengths and realize their potential to live fulfilling, happy lives. I bring years of experience working with adolescent and adult individuals struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), eating disorders, anxiety/depression, grief, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorders (OCD).
