I always start with where a client is and move through a process of self awareness and discovery that brings about lasting change and newfound joy. While that is not an easy process it is a journey I have found worth taking in my own life and feel honored to take in another's.
I do not believe in a "cookie cutter" approach to recovery or self actualization. Each person I work with brings a special "psychological fingerprint" that encompasses both their past and their present life experiences.
I look forward to traveling the path with you.
I've worked with a wide range of issues and have an extensive background in treating those with trauma backgrounds, sexual/relational issues, and addictive struggles. I am a certified sex therapist with AASECT and a Level II Trained EMDR therapist.
I am in a private practice serving patients both in Scottsdale and Flagstaff, Arizona.
