Therapists in Arizona

With over 15 years experience, my passion is creating a safe space for you to explore your conscious and unconscious mind and be able to talk about things you might not be able to talk about in other areas of your life. I believe that both a collaborative and compassionate approach is fertile ground for personal growth. I work with you as a whole individual encompassing mind, body and spirit. I am trained in Internal Family Systems, Trauma Integrated Somatic Therapy, Expressive Arts Therapy, Mindfulness practices, Emotion Freedom Technique, CBT, DBT, ACT and Heartmath, amongst other evidence-based modalities.

Does your cup feel empty? Are you surviving and not really thriving? As an artist, art therapist, and counselor these questions are instrumental to my work. I'm most passionate about using vulnerability as a strength to foster a brave therapeutic space that recognizes healing beyond mere coping and symptom reduction. I truly believe in the power of therapy and creative self-expression in helping individuals develop greater self-awareness and meaning-making to meet their holistic needs (mind, body, and spirit). Using an array of expressive arts and traditional therapy tools post-traumatic growth and healing can become more tangible.

You are the author of your life story, what is the title of your next chapter? The stories we tell ourselves about ourselves hold enormous power. You may be feeling stuck, disconnected or hopeless due to mental barriers, physical challenges, stressful life changes, family conflict, unhealthy coping patterns or things that have happened in your past. Learning to find the power of your inner voice and take control of your life story can create new ways of viewing yourself and the world. This can restore peace within your mind, body and relationships with others.

I have worked for over a decade in the mental health field in various forms. I have an unquenchable curiosity regarding the human experience and how we choose to live our lives and foster our relationships. I love helping others find their way to live their best lives. I would be honored to be a part of that journey with you. I have worked with all walks of life. I work with trauma healing, anxiety, depression, dissociation, and helping other's connect to their body. I also enjoy helping others use mindfulness, meditation, intuition and expressive arts to find what they align to for healing in their lives.
