Therapists in Chandler, AZ

I believe that individuals, couples and families have resources and strengths that can be identified and used in healing and promoting change. Clients who benefit from my services are committed and motivated to this process. He or she recognizes that positive results are most likely when they participate fully and trust in their own wisdom and creativity as well as in our relationship as client and therapist. I trust in the relationship I form with my clients, and I am present and committed to be an effective guide and resource in the process of change.

In my practice I see individuals who are dealing with all types of painful problems revolving around issues concerning struggles with relationships, loss/bereavement, addictions, mood disorders and anxiety concerns. At times, life can be difficult especially when overwhelming circumstances occur that are beyond a person's normal realm of experience. Learning new coping skills and discovering how to be more self-protective by setting healthy boundaries and limits through a process of self-empowerment is the primary goal in the counseling setting. I work hard with clients to find their best solution.
