Therapists in Phoenix, AZ

Is Counseling right for me? Counseling is also about putting yourself and your needs first. It is about building yourself up so that you can feel stronger and healthier. Life is full of ups and down and with that come stress and anxiety. These emotions can effect our state of mind and our body. We help you find ways to work through these tough times so that you can thrive and again have joy in your life.

Unresolved relational issues. Past trauma that has begun affecting your normal routine. Marriage is going through a hard time. Family life is full of stress and conflict. Anxiety keeps growing and becoming more intense. These are all part of being human and being in relationship, and it’s OK to ask for help in the midst of them.

Throughout our life’s journey, we may encounter various stresses that challenge us—experiences of grief, depression, and anxiety may frequent as we navigate this terrain on our path to mental health and well-being. Engaging in the process of counseling can be intimidating as you move through feelings of sadness, despair, loneliness, and periods of expansion and contraction. As an Existential- Integrative Therapist, it would be my honor to walk with you as you transcend these challenges and reclaim your autonomy, experiencing wholeness, enhanced connectedness to self and others, and rediscover meaning and purpose in life.

Are your relationships becoming increasingly more challenging to navigate? Sometimes, our emotions get the best of us and we lash out at the people we love or recluse from them. Either way, it feels like a perpetual cycle. This can happen in our parenting, romantic relationships, and our work. Maybe you've talked with some close friends or even read up to try and find a solution, but you haven't found the missing piece to the puzzle.

We run. We hide. We fight. We comply. And nothing changes. The stress/pain remains. We go to bed and get up the next day to do it all over again. Maybe you're at the beginning stage of coping with a stressful event. Maybe you know you need support. Maybe you don't know what you need. Maybe you're feeling out of options. Life can throw some difficult, seemingly impossible, events at us. When that happens, it's normal to feel out of control. But there is hope. I’ve spent over two decades helping people remove obstacles to living a more fulfilling life. You can feel in control again and experience life as joyful and fun.

Daily stressors are inevitable, and it is essential to build coping strategies for how to manage stress and combat negative thinking patterns. Creating behavior changes is a focal point of psychotherapy and beneficial in wanting a sense of structure and consistency in one's relationships and overall life. My overall goal for each client is to work on obtaining balance within their own healthy lifestyle. Through obtaining balance one's past and present symptoms can lessen and each individual and/or couple can focus on the positive attributes of their life and move forward towards reaching their goals and the life worth living.

Do you feel entangled in unsupportive behaviors, thought patterns or relationships? Are you overwhelmed by anger, guilt, shame, or stress and seeking relief? Or are you simply looking for help in creating the life you know you are meant to lead? As a Life Empowerment Guide and Health Psychology Coach, I combine the principles of psychology and health promotion to help individuals improve their overall well-being and achieve their health-related goals. I lead customized one-on-one sessions with compassion and guide you in improving your emotional, physical, social, and spiritual well-being.

Making the decision to seek help/enter counseling can be difficult, often with feelings of fear, overwhelm and discouragement. My approach is to first understand what drove the client to reach out for help, and then provide a comfortable space to discuss what they’d like to be different. Working together to identify treatment goals, and an approach, the client gains confidence in the process and hopefulness in a positive outcome. I provide individual, family and couple's therapy and work from a strength-based perspective and to understand the individual(s) in context of their environment, relationships, culture and experiences.

“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.”–Aristotle. I have been in your shoes. I know what it is like to reach out for help. It can be both scary and exciting, and above all it is brave. I want to support you on your journey. I believe we are all constantly learning, moving and growing in our personal and professional lives. Therapy is a journey of self exploration. It is both what happens in and outside of the therapy room. I have worked in the mental health field (as a coach, counselor or art therapist) since 2011. My practice is grounded in my values. I value connection. I value compassion. I value creativity.

We all experience trauma and severe life stressors' that leave us feeling stuck and hopeless.
