Interpersonal Therapists in Phoenix, OR

For those of us who have experienced trauma, we have also experienced a secondary trauma by not having a secure attachment figure or sense of safety to help us co-regulate and repair. Our practice provides an accompanied space where you can feel safe(r) to process trauma and begin the lifelong journey towards healing. We are relational therapists and specialize in working with adult clients of color who have experienced racial trauma, intimate partner violence, sexual trauma, narcissistic abuse, childhood abuse and neglect, complex trauma, transracial adoption and/or adoption-related trauma and anxiety and depression.

Our mission at Inner Peace Counseling Inc. is to provide compassionate, evidence-based, and holistic mental health care to individuals, families, couples, and communities. We are committed to fostering a safe, non-judgmental, and inclusive environment where individuals can heal, grow, and thrive. We believe in the power of collaboration and interdisciplinary care, working together with clients and their support networks to address their unique mental health needs.

My psychological counseling approach is an in depth, psychodynamic, very engaged therapeutic relationship that addresses the body/mind connection both verbally and somatically. It is known in medical research that we hold our feelings in our body and as stress and tension build up, we have problems and symptoms that respond to therapeutic intervention. When our emotions go unheard, unexpressed, or even unfelt, our symptoms can worsen over time, developing our personal and interpersonal problems and often actual disease and disorders - such as pain, insomnia, muscle tensions, and indigestion.

I believe that you are the greatest expert on your life. I am merely here to help you unpack the layers to meet maximum potential and lead a life of meaning.

Existing in the world today is challenging on its own, now add depression, anxiety, panic attacks, interpersonal and family relationship concerns, money and health issues, etc. This makes daily functioning sometimes seem like an impossible task. It is within my personal belief that every individual has the ability to manage these symptoms and thrive in the world, we just sometimes need additional support. This is where therapy comes in. I provide a nonjudgemental approach to helping my clients achieve overall wellness so that happiness and joy don't just feel like a distant thought.

In all forms, relationships are a guiding part of our lives and directly impact how we live. My practice is guided by psychodynamic/psychoanalytic theory, and I believe therapist and client thinking together creates insight and deeper understanding, which allows you to learn about your inner world. As you come to know yourself, a positive space opens up to afford you an opportunity to grow, evolve, and flourish. As a psychoanalyst I have studied for many years including infant and young child observational studies, my clinical experience includes trauma, depression, anxiety, interpersonal relationships, and life-changing events.

Life satisfaction is mostly about relationship, don't you agree? I help people have emotionally open and compassionate relationships both with themselves and with others. I work with individuals and couples on this. Individually, so much of life satisfaction and personal effectiveness is based on how well you understand yourself (mindfulness), how you treat yourself (compassion), and how you advocate for your desires. With others, relationships are built through mutually respectful listening and co-creating mutually delightful interactions. I see relationship as a spiritual path.

With a compassionate, genuine, and non judgemental approach, my goal is to see individuals and couples working toward a happier, healthier life. Often, we hold deep beliefs about ourselves and others that do not serve us. Those beliefs can hold us back from achieving our best life. I work to facilitate healing in those who are struggling to find peace with themselves and in their relationships. I believe our relationships affect our lives in nearly every aspect and healthy relationships are born from healthy individuals. I enjoys working with individuals and couples to identify what their goals are and work towards harmony.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or low self esteem? Do you wish you had a better body image, or could control emotional eating? Have difficulty setting boundaries and find yourself resentful because of it? Many people who didn't get their needs met in the past struggle to be truly kind to themselves and need a compassionate witness in that process. These are some of the issues I work with on a regular basis in my practice. I see people new to therapy, as well as those who are continuing their journey towards greater authenticity, healing, and meaning.
