Therapists in Scottsdale, AZ

I am a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist at Therapy With Heart in Scottsdale, AZ. My goal is to provide a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment for each and every couple, family, or individual I have the privilege of working with. Life can feel overwhelming at times, but I also know how much relief can come with having someone listen to you in a way that genuinely makes you feel heard. I believe that every person deserves to feel seen and understood, and when those needs are met, we can truly feel loved by others. Together, we can work to restore secure connection within your relationships and within yourself.

My work with clients is centered in resolving what is missing, or has been left unmet, for whatever reason. Unmet relational and emotional needs can interfere with a loving relationship with oneself, and with those we care about. Both EFT and EMDR provide wonderful tools for this work of emotional and relational repair. Your story matters to me, and so does the pace that feels best for you. Together we will explore and repair what has been missing so you can enjoy your relationships more deeply. Whether you are new to therapy or coming back to it for a deeper layer of work, I would love to meet you and hear your story.

As your therapist, I will help you recognize the power of your own thoughts and your ability to heal. In my sessions, I provide a spirit of genuineness, warmth, and collaboration. I value your trust in allowing me to slowly unpack your deepest feelings and concerns.

At Therapy With Heart, we have a passion for helping people grow and make changes in their life which will be clear from the minute you first make contact. Relationships matter! Family dynamics, partnership/couples and intimacy, dating, or grief and loss are all connected to relationships! It takes courage to decide to enter therapy and until you feel safe and comfortable, it is challenging to create change. Therefore, we structure the session around mindfulness, emphasizing strengths, and collaborating together on the work. We provide you with the highest quality therapy by specialty professionals.

Let's be honest, each of us at times feels overwhelmed and/or disconnected from our usual selves. It may be a struggle to accept our feelings or lack of feeling in the midst of overwhelm. At this point, our thoughts generally tend to be more negative and self-deprecating than "normal". We can get caught in a downward spiral that affects our self-concept, physical health, emotional well-being, relationships, creativity, and work production. Most of us will, with time, be able to stop the spiral and start returning to the person we were before the initializing event.

I believe we all have the capacity to learn, grow, heal and create long-lasting change. We hold the innate ability to discover and realize our true potential and live an authentic life in line with our deepest values. I view therapy as a shared, supportive, compassionate journey that can help you tune into your authentic self, develop attainable goals and work toward sustainable, meaningful change. By holistically addressing and integrating mind, body and spirit, all kinds of challenges-depression, anxiety, divorce, stress, relationship issues, grief-can be better understood and overcome.

As a Counselor and Coach in long term recovery from both substance and process addictions, I've received support from some very special humans who've lit the way for me to peer into the areas of my path that I was either denying or just couldn't see from an objective perspective (yet). After a career as a marketing professional, I'm grateful to have transitioned into providing the work that's helped me come to terms with life and my place in it; work that feeds my soul and shines the light on those dark places so many of us are afraid to venture into alone. Together, we can explore and make meaning of what's happened for you.

Accepting Couples, Co-parents and Families. Life can feel messy some days! We all go through challenging seasons of life. Our most important relationships can suffer leaving us feeling alone, hurt, betrayed and just plain stuck! We were designed for connection and without it we struggle! We have a deep down desire to be seen, heard and known. When we can't find connection in our most important relationships we may rely on strategies that serve us for a season but are not sustainable for our healing and growth.

“Family dysfunction rolls from generation to generation like a fire in the woods taking down everything in its path until one person, in one generation, has the courage to turn and face the flames. That person brings peace to his ancestors and spares the children that follow.” — Terry Real. Taking a step towards therapy is an act of bravery. An act that can begin to open up space for healing in your life or in your relationships.

I am passionate about creating a supportive, empathetic environment where my clients feel empowered and encouraged to open up and be their authentic selves.

This is the therapeutic environment that I strive towards, through a mixture of warmth, humor and authenticity. Together, we can work to understand attachment injuries that shape us and our relationships, and generate insight-based change. This space is for you.

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.

I am so glad you are taking this first step. I know how hard it can be to get started. I am here to help you feel comfortable throughout this process. I help individuals and couples who are feeling stuck, hopeless, lonely or disconnected from others. I specialize in relational trauma, relationship distress, and family of origin challenges. Anything less than nurturing that has happened to you, can be stored in the body as trauma. I am deeply passionate about helping individuals, and couples, make sense of past experiences so they can live more freely and authentically in the present.

I am continually humbled and honored to be invited into the private lives of brave men and women like you seeking help for personal and relationship needs.
