Therapists in Camelback East, Phoenix, AZ

My practice is unique. I treat two groups of clients: One is very high functioning - the highly successful professional who wants to improve personal strengths, interpersonal interactions, relationships, and intimacy. The second set are those who have been struggling with a diagnosable mental or physical illness that has not been effectively managed. Both may need various clinical treatments which include therapies such as Interpersonal Social Rhythm Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (Couples & Family), Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) or trauma oriented skills such as Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Hypnosis, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) - Feeling-State Addiction Therapy, Relaxation & Mindfulness.

I specialize in relationship, sexual, and gender issues, trauma and attachment issues, and mindfulness. In our therapy relationship, you’ll experience connection, acceptance, safety, and trust; this can be healing in itself. We'll start by exploring and making sense of your challenges, compassionately and collaboratively. We can also use EMDR, guided imagery, and mindfulness to activate your mind’s natural ability to heal, going deeper than words, into realms of feeling, imagination, and focused attention. I believe you’ll find that I bring exceptional clarity, integrity, and creativity to our therapy work.

Are you frequently feeling happiness is just out of reach? Are you feeling overwhelmed and/or stressed-out with the challenges of today? If your quality of life isn't what you would like it to be, an integrated approach to therapy may be your best option. By applying complementary therapeutic approaches in a non-judgmental environment, we can work together to improve your coping skills, confidence, and self-esteem. I help to empower you through personal development tools and spiritual practices to support overall well-being.

There are times in our lives when we need help restoring our relationships. As a therapist with 30 years of marriage experience, and significant clinical training, I believe working together I can help you reach your goals. As a therapist I have seen that two things seem to be necessary to start the healing process, mercy and empathy. When a person experiences mercy, it opens them up to experiencing empathy for the other. Using Gottman Method Couples therapy as the foundation, I will work together with you to accomplish the restoration of your relationship.

Embarking on the journey of healing from painful experiences can feel like navigating a maze of disconnection, stagnation, and overwhelming emotions. If you find yourself seeking a path forward, know that you're not alone. My passion lies in guiding individuals through the intricate terrain of past trauma and sexual well-being. Grounded in the latest research in neurobiology, attachment theory, and trauma-informed care, my therapeutic approach is focused on helping you feel safe. Together, we'll forge a path toward crafting a life that resonates with authenticity and fulfillment, free from the shackles of judgment or expectation.

My style of therapy is compassionate, empowering, and growth-provoking. I treat a range of sexual challenges including Mismatched Desire, Infidelity, Problems with Sexual Functioning (Early Ejaculation, Erectile Dysfunction, Painful Intercourse, etc.), and Sexual Trauma. I am in the process of becoming an AASECT certified Sex Therapist at The Buehler Institute California. Additionally, I have received advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) & IFIO (Intimacy From the Inside Out), and Perinatal Mental Health.

Unresolved relational issues. Past trauma that has begun affecting your normal routine. Marriage is going through a hard time. Family life is full of stress and conflict. Anxiety keeps growing and becoming more intense. These are all part of being human and being in relationship, and it’s OK to ask for help in the midst of them.

I specialize in providing treatment for individuals experiencing difficulties including but not limited to: relationship or marital problems, codependency, depression, anxiety, trauma, problems with regulating emotions, eating disorders, physical pain, self-harming behaviors, OCD behaviors, and social phobias.

The journey toward one's best self can be challenging! I partner with my clients to address specific needs of the individual in a safe environment. It has been my experience that behavior that is not helpful or skills that are not useful are the result of adaptation. Simply put, we do what we can with what we know! People come to counseling because the tools they are currently using are no longer working. I recognize that the client is the true expert in his or her own life and empower the individual with a strength-based approach to therapy.

I promise you that even when it feels like you just can't do it anymore.. you really can! I personally have experienced much of life's hardships but I'm grateful for that because it gave me the opportunity to help others! I love helping people find their passion and understand how to cope through life. I primarily work with narcissistic abuse survivors as well as empaths and HSP's. Understanding how to function in a world that you seemingly don't fit into can be a huge challenge that comes with what seems like, debilitating anxiety, depression, and more. Being an empath myself, I can completely understand and relate to my clients!

Sometimes we get so overwhelmed by messages of who we are supposed to be we lose track of who we are. This affects every aspect of our lives. It influences how we relate to our friends, family, coworkers, romantic partners and the people we pass at the grocery store but most strongly how we relate to ourselves. Finding greater understanding of who we are is how we create change. My role is to assist you on this journey, guide you in finding those answers and show you how to create healthy change with this knowledge.

I’m here to help you with all of that if you think I’m the right therapist for you. It is your motivation and resilience that improves your life – I only want to help you find the best answers for your healing.
