Family Systems Therapists in Arizona

Are you experiencing overwhelming emotions, anxious thoughts, or feelings of hopelessness? Do you want to live a more fulfilling life but don't know where to start? Are you looking for someone to accompany you on your journey of healing and restoration? I am here to help. I believe that we are all searching for meaning and purpose in our lives. One of the ways we can find this is by connecting with others. In life, it can be easy to get stuck in the darkness. To rely on oneself, and oneself alone.

Relationships never start off difficult. Disappointment, pain, betrayal, distance, emotional shut-off are all among the myriad reasons they become difficult. Often times the distance between two people can feel insurmountable. A trained and effective therapist is able to bridge that gap and provide guidance and support on the journey back to relational health. Research shows most people wait 6 years to seek therapy. By this time, the sparks of discontent have become a fiery inferno and the help of a professional is invaluable in the process of healing and reconciliation.

We all have things that we keep in the dark, believing if this ever came to light it would destroy me. But it's never those things that destroy us, it's always the darkness. Shame, self doubt, and trauma all live in the darkness. We push down our feelings and numb out for fear that the vulnerability of feeling the emotions will become overwhelming and we won't be able to cope. But the numbness is isolating and never gets us towards the rich and valuable life that seems out of reach. Hi, my name is Troy and I specialize in helping men connect to themselves and improve the relationships around them.

Often, we rely on our natural supports for guidance however soon we realize, it is not helpful, perhaps because they say what they think we want to hear, and that’s not beneficial.

Despite the adversity you have encountered you deserve to live your best life and experience the best version of you. My role is to implement the most appropriate strategies and interventions and use my 17 years of experience in community mental health to support and guide you.

First, I want to thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I focus on creating an emotionally safe place. Safe enough to be vulnerable and lean into discomfort. Safe enough to create change that may be desired or needed. My style is direct, compassionate, and caring. When appropriate, I use humor, transparency, and my own quirky personality to help create a safe environment and vulnerability. It is the balance of being client-centered (meeting clients where they’re at) and encouraging change (which sometimes includes calling out BS or respectfully challenging when needed). Im currently offering in-person and telehealth.

I am an EMDR therapist who specializes in finding the root causes for one's symptoms. Using an integrative approach of today's best counseling practices and interventions, my goal is to help find and heal the root of one's issues, and not just treat the symptoms. Being trauma-informed means that I am going to pay particular attention to adverse experiences throughout one's life, both big 'T' traumas and cumulative small 't' traumas, and how those experiences have caused someone to construct a faulty narrative about their worth and identity.
