Teletherapy for Scottsdale, AZ

It's normal to feel anxious when going through big life transitions. Or perhaps you are feeling low because a new relationship has triggered an old wound. In either case, a safe space to process your pain points can help you heal. I am committed to providing a nonjudgemental environment for my clients, to foster growth. I work with both men and women, though I especially enjoy working with young women navigating transitions in adulthood. I am passionate about helping individuals and couples get "unstuck" and find connection and meaning in their lives. My ultimate goal is for you to gain confidence in your own decision-making.

Do you struggle to communicate effectively or resolve conflict? Want to rekindle or deepen intimacy? Have a sexual problem to solve? Strong, fulfilling relationships are the cornerstone of a happy, balanced life and healthy sexuality is integral to your well-being. Regardless of your past, the relationship you’re currently in or would like to be in, I can help you get there. I'll give you the tools, practices, and mindset to get you where you want to be. Find connection and peace with yourself and others!

I’m accepting new clients. Need help with ADHD, anxiety, depression, Long Covid, chronic pain or illness? If you’re reading this: it’s time you reach out for help. Pain is inevitable- suffering is optional. I help you with managing tough times or getting your life on track. I provide a free consultation - so what is there to lose?

I believe we can learn and grow from adversity. Addressing our challenges and gaining new perspectives can improve quality of life, create healthier relationships and make achieving new and positive goals possible.

You're committed to your partner, but you don't know how to get back the trust and intimacy that has been lost. Communication is either lacking or has broken down into frequent arguments. It would be great if your partner would just understand you and your feelings, but the disconnect you now have is real and it feels like you just continue to drift further apart each day. It seems like your partner is a stranger now and that compatibility and friendship feels like it might be gone for good. This is scary to think that the love of your life, who you once felt a sense of safety and security with, no longer has your back.

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.

Are you struggling in your relationships or feeling unhappy with life in general? Are feeling misunderstood or frustrated by others despite your efforts to connect with them? Perhaps whatever is going on in your life is creating a lot of worry, anxiety and sadness that you just can't shake. If this fits for you, give me a call and let's talk about it. Sometimes sharing how we are feeling with someone can make all the difference. If you would like to learn how to make significant changes in your life and relationships, I can provide the tools for you to do so. Don't wait to start creating the life you want.

Working with clients on all types of issues ends in such positive results. My services are a private one-on-one in office/phone sessions. Ask about Groups for those needing interaction. Each session is customized to that individual with the recording of that session. I help them get results and let them take control of their life once again. Many of my clients come back for other sessions which includes stop smoking, weight-loss, anxiety, Lap Band Weight loss, dating/relationship issues, women and mens issues, sports and more.

I am EMDR trained. I work with clients who have experienced trauma. I give many resources that help to deal with traumatic memories that may come up in between sessions. Not only do I work with EMDR but I do also use Mindfulness, CBT and DBT. I can help you with self-esteem issues, blocking beliefs and feeder memories so that you can live the life with reduced stress and so that you can live a life that you are meant to live.

Have you tried traditional talk therapy before but are now looking for something that goes deeper? Maybe life has forced you to slow down due to the loss of a loved one or another significant change. Perhaps you’ve just come to realize that despite all this go-go-go, you actually feel like you’re still lacking direction, purpose, and deep connection with yourself and those close to you. You don’t want to have to “rehash” the past or revisit every detail of what you’ve experienced, but you know that life can feel different than it does today. You believe long-term change is possible…you just need some help getting there.

Pressures of relationships, parenting, or work responsibilities may be piling up and you are feeling anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed. Maybe you are caught off guard by a trigger which hijacks your body, and you find yourself feeling out of control. Perhaps you feel constant conflict in your relationships, you are frustrated with poor communication, there is a lack of intimacy, and you live in anger and resentment. What if the worst has happened and you are experiencing overwhelming grief? Your story matters!

I coach individuals to tap their potential, ignite their passion, and define their purpose to be successful in life, work, and relationships. My clients become happy, well-adjusted individuals that find joy in the ability to have a meaningful impact on themselves and their community. Please note: I do not offer counseling or psychotherapy services. My practice focuses on coaching services to address behaviors, emotions, thoughts, and actions that are holding clients back. I offer reasonable rates but do not accept insurance. I provide superbills on request for clients to submit for their out-of-network insurance benefits.

I am a trauma-informed psychologist with a strengths-based approach that is grounded in the fundamentals of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This means that I believe that everyone in life experiences situations that affect their beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and values, sometimes in unhelpful ways. My focus areas are relationship issues (romantic/family/friends), trauma and PTSD, couples counseling, anxiety, depression, anger management, career counseling, family conflict, infidelity, self-esteem, stress, among other issues. Healthy relationships with yourself and others can improve your overall well-being and mental health.

Close your eyes and imagine what you want. What do you see? A world where the inner critic is quiet? A life without overwhelm? Disconnection? Wanting to feeling good enough? Relationships feel easy. Tasks and goals are accomplished. Life as a busy parent, a perfect student, or a dedicated professional can get daunting. What if, we can quiet the mind, calm the emotional storm, embrace the abandoned parts? We work together to resolve trauma, crippling self-esteem, manage boundaries in relationships and achieve a work/life balance. Let's reinvent existing tools to better suit your unique needs and celebrate how you have ADAPTED!

I'm passionate about helping clients find solutions to their problems and overcome difficulties such as low mood; anxiety; guilt & shame; anger; relationship difficulties; & other challenges. If you come to me for individual therapy, or as part of a couple or a family, I'll listen to your story with compassion and without judgment, regularly checking that I fully understand what you want from your therapy. I'll work collaboratively with you, using my knowledge, skills, and 20+ years’ experience as a social worker and therapist, to help you find the happiness and wellbeing that you are looking for; the life that you desire.

Life is tough to manage. I specialize in helping you identify the thoughts, emotions and behaviors that keep you from living to your fullest. Together we can build skills and pursue opportunities to empower you to have a more productive, meaningful and happier life. I provide the space to explore and discuss all aspects of life without judgement.
