Welcome -I am glad you are here! I am a seasoned strength based therapist offering my expertise and help. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and the deep emotional pain that often comes with family estrangement, grief, and major life transitions. My approach is rooted in warmth, curiosity and a respect for your unique story. I provide services where we work as a team in solving the problems that are causing you distress. I am licensed in OH, VA, AZ.,and NM for online therpy in all states and in person in AZ. If you are ready to look at the change you need to make then you are in the right place.
Do you currently feel depressed, anxious or confused about where to put your next foot forward? Many of the clients I work with come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or emotionally disconnected. Some of you may carry the weight of a trauma; others are grieving the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or a life they once knew. There is help.
This is a compassionate and individualized practice in Phoenix Arizona. Please call if you want to overcome the fear, pain or obstacles that are blocking you from living your best life. Whether you're seeking clarity, connection, relief, or simply a place to rest and be heard, therapy can offer a path forward. If you're ready, we’ll walk that path together.
