Family Systems Therapists in Arizona

I believe that people have the innate capacity for change. In life we are often dealt circumstances that are beyond our understanding and personal control. Many of these experiences distort our perception of who we truly are. My role is to collaborate with you to explore your past and reconnect you to your authentic self. People are natural storytellers. In our work together we will identify which parts of your story add value to your life and which can be altered to improve the way you understand yourself and the circumstances in your life.

Therapy should be a safe place for growth and healing. It is important to have a validating environment to work on obstacles and challenges we all face in our lives.

I have worked in the behavioral health field since 2010 and enjoy working with individuals of different ages and needs.

As a seasoned social work professional, I am motivated by social justice and human rights. I believe that every individual deserves to live with dignity, purpose, and a sense of belonging and connection. I will support and encourage your exploration of self through an ecological lens understanding that our identity, values, and beliefs about self and others emerge from our environment and our experiences both positive and harmful. I am here to help you identify habits of thinking that promote growth or make you feel stuck.

I enjoy using my education and expertise to help individuals and families feel more joy and peace in their lives. Clients who are marginalized and facing the challenges presented by the society in which we live are a priority of mine to support. I enjoy working with the LGBTQ+ community, support black lives, and have lived experience in transitions of faith from high demand religion in relation to existential crisis's and development. Women's issues, parenting, and family systems. Couples going through various transitions as well as those dealing with divorce. I view each of these issues through the lens of trauma.

Via psychotherapy and assessment, I support individuals, couples, families, and organizations through the changing seasons of life. Intersectional identity shifts, intergenerational trauma, faith transitions, pregnancy/postpartum, sexual trauma, systemic oppression, multicultural couples (polyamory affirming), and families navigating members "coming out" or "letting in" with diverse political or spiritual views are a few specialty areas. Particular attunement is provided to BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and neurodiverse/autistic communities. My goal is to help communities live in alignment with their values.
