Courageous independent adults who are curious about themselves and their life/family histories are an ideal fit for my services. It takes great bravery to enter into a therapeutic connection that is bound to spark insight and awareness. Therapy is a journey with an attuned other who can help guide you through self-exploration towards growth. Clients who would benefit from working with me include those who are interested in achieving a life-work-parenting-partnering balance, one that involves mindfulness, present-focus and an emphasis on physical well being. I work with you from a place of cultural awareness and respect.

The complexities of families and relationships have intrigued me ever since I was a young girl. Even after 30+ years of practice in the field of Marriage and Family Therapy, I'm still intrigued and challenged to find creative ways to solve the difficulties we all encounter in our relationships with others. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Arizona I have been a member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) since 1981. I am a Past President of the Arizona Division of AAMFT. I am in private practice working with individuals, couples and families.

Welcome and thank you for looking at my profile. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and have been working in the field for over 20 years. I work primarily with adults in individual, couples and family therapy. I am also a Certified Sex Therapist and work with individuals and couples struggling with sexual dysfunction. Clients have found my systemic training and orientation to be particularly effective for couples and family therapy or when working on relationship and family of origin issues in individual therapy.

Caring. Understanding. Empathic. Encouraging. These are all qualities you will experience while working with me as we navigate your path towards self-exploration. Research shows that the relationship between the therapist and the client is a significant contributing factor in the success of therapy. This is why I make every effort to put my clients at ease starting from the moment you walk in the door at your first session. I want to create a collaborative relationship with you so that, together, we can take steps to improve the quality of your relationships, your family, your life.

Desert Life Psychotherapy provides a space to explore emotional and relational difficulties related to depression, anxiety, family conflict, and interpersonal struggles in day to day life. I provide counseling to teens and adults who are ready to begin understanding themselves in order to create a brighter and more productive future. I am most effective at treating individuals and families who are ready to understand the underlying issues leading to current symptoms through self-exploration, and are looking for insight to create lasting change in their lives.

Looking to change habits that affect yourself and loved ones? We will work together to uncover the root problems you experience and develop the courage to overcome them. You will find my therapeutic methods build resilience, reduce avoidance, lessen conflict behaviors, and build powerful connections with yourself to find true belonging with others. If you're open to a flexible treatment approach to create a new environment that you can thrive in and experience your joys and pains without shame then I look forward to meeting you!

Hi. Come talk about what matters to you most. Together, we walk. Explore. Meander. Clarify. I love what I do and will help you feel better. I can help with multicultural issues, relocation, or if you're struggling with addiction, overcoming trauma, relationships, questions about polyamory, depression or abuse. If life has lost its meaning and you’re missing adventure, intimacy, greater self-expression and passion, let’s go. If you don’t talk about it, it won’t get better. I’m supportive, alternative, warm and kind. You’ll feel comfortable, and challenge thoughts and perceptions preventing you from getting out of your own way.

My passion is helping people be the best version of themselves. I want my patients to feel empowered to heal themselves over time. One of my most important roles as a psychiatrist is to instill hope for my patients. Anxiety and depression is treatable, and with alternative therapies along with medication management, we have even more options for patients who struggle. We've extended our services to all of Utah via video visits from your smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Are you and your partner arguing more than usual? Do you feel like every interaction with your teen has become a power struggle? Have you experienced unrewarding or even unhealthy relationships? Daily life can be complicated and challenging, so you look to your relationships to provide understanding, support and security. However, when your relationships are strained, you may not have anything that gives you solace or that soft place to land at the end of the day. You are doing the best that you know how, but sometimes that is just not enough.

Relationship 101 is captured beautifully by Esther Perel: "The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives." If you long to learn how to nourish, strengthen, and/or repair your relationships therapy can facilitate clearer and compassionate communication between you and your loved ones. I'm sex-positive and believe that a relationship is like an intimate dance in which mutual partnership depends on healthy communication, curiosity and vulnerability. If you feel stuck in your relationship, are dating, or taking some much needed time off, therapy can play a supportive role in deepening connection to self and other.

Immediate openings! I am currently working towards an AASECT approved Sex Therapy Certification. My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, patient, and free of judgment. My primary focus is helping heal connections within couples and families. I have experience working with individuals with trauma, neurodiversity, mood disorders, identity issues, grief, loss, and many more populations. I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming, kink affirming, and ethical non-monogamy affirming therapist.

Hello! Making the decision to see a therapist and begin psychotherapy takes courage and we are honored that you chose to consider our practice as an option. It is our goal to help you uncover truths about yourself and your relationships so that you may live your best life possible. This practice has an emphasis in supporting clients with sexual health, trauma, relationship(s), and/or identity concerns. Individuals and folx in any form of romantic partnerships of any gender and/or sexual orientation are welcome. This is a BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, ENM, Kink and otherwise culturally-affirming practice.

Stressors are apart of everyday life, but sometimes we need someone to provide an objective lens and safe space to share our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. As a clinical professional counselor and counselor educator, I care most about my clients and how I can help support them in managing their stressors. With over 10 years of experience working with children, individuals, and couples with varying levels of mental health related concerns and disorders, I look forward to helping you in a supportive and productive way.

Warm and open, my therapeutic style is grounded in curiosity and compassion. I work to transform typical therapeutic spaces into empowering environments that cultivate inner-knowing and greater connection. I work from humanistic and feminist theoretical orientations, meaning that I'm relational and collaborative as a therapist. I believe trust is built and shame diminished when we’re met with authentic connection. I work with individuals and people in relationships working toward greater embodiment, connection, and healing. Many of my clients want to strengthen self-trust, grow their relational skills, and navigate life transitions.
