Welcome! I have been in practice over a decade and have learned that by gaining understanding and compassion for ourselves, our innate healing potential will emerge. I love to help other professionals in the field and I am a AZBBHE clinical supervisor. A quote by Rumi expresses it this way "your task is not to seek love, but to merely seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it" I use a "non-pathologizing lens" to see my clients holistically and help them make connections to how their past experiences have shaped the narratives and emotions they experience today.

Maybe you already feel like you’re at the end of your rope. Do you need help with your relationships? Is the stress of work just too much? Or have you simply realized that you aren’t leading the life you want to be living? Whatever you’re facing, do you want to live more authentically and achieve the lasting relationships you desire?

I will listen to you without judgment and help you find your own solutions. You don't want someone who is going to jump in with advice before hearing all that you have to say and understanding, as much as possible, how you feel. You need someone who is willing to explore alternatives and solutions with you in a calm respectful manner leaving you with the final decision. It's your life. You have to live it. Why let someone else make the decisions for you when all you really need is someone willing to listen, hear, and understand?

Are you feeling stressed out, overwhelmed, or like you are having a difficult time coping with life right now? You are not alone! I understand how challenging it can be to feel stuck and wanting to have more peace in your life. I fully believe the statement by Jon Kabat Zinn who said, “As long as you are breathing there is more right with you than wrong with you.” My goal as a therapist is to draw out the strengths that you already have and help you build new skills in order to face the challenges, transitions, and stresses that you are facing in your life.

I have a PhD and almost 30 yrs experience working with clients. I have advanced training in EFT and Gottman Therapy. I also draw on 35 yrs of experience being married. All couples have conflicts. The difference is happy couples have a way to resolve and repair issues. I specialize in helping couples develop that repair process. When many couples argue they end up feeling more frustrated, distant, and dissatisfied in their relationship instead of feeling close and connected. Eventually they stop talking to avoid fighting and grow apart. I help couples who are stuck find a way to experience the love and closeness they desire.

Wellness comes from balance in all the areas of our lives: emotional, physical, social, and spiritual. Often things come up that tip the scales beyond what we can handle on our own. In counseling we work together to help you find that balance again, develop skills where needed, and move you into a healthier place. With a strong background in biology the approach to counseling is very solution focused and takes into account the natural tendencies and responses that may work against wellbeing. I work with couples and individuals looking at issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, sex, menopause, postpartum, parenting, and ADHD.

Have you ever observed how much of human behavior is driven by our basic human needs for balance and connection? Think about the ways we risk and reach for our partners. Think about how you cope when you feel lonely or rejected or the ways you mask the discomfort of feeling overwhelmed or depressed. It might show up as an eating disorder, conflict in your relationship or sexual issues, even stress at work. If you feel the ways you navigate life stressors are not as effective as you would like I am here to help. I see therapy as a safe, secure place to work through life’s challenges in a collaborative, non-judgemental environment.

Spirituality Therapists
What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.
What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.
Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.
How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
