Hello! And, thank you for taking the time to find out a little about myself. As a solution-focused therapist with 13-plus years of experience and currently licensed in Arizona and South Carolina, I work to develop a relationship of trust, setting goals and understanding the path to healing with my clients. I’ve been fortunate to work for behavioral health centers across The Valley, helping women, men, teens and couples.
As your therapist, I work WITH you using a non-judgmental and warm approach to assist in accomplishing your goals. After we work together to build a comfortable rapport, I look to give you challenges — that we overcome together — for helping in strengthening your personal growth.
I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy and Integrative health. I am solution-focused. Also, I am emotion-focused therapy trained to help couples strengthen their marriage and communication.
Understanding together what goals we want to achieve – on both large and small scale – is key to the process of building a plan that suits the wellness you are after.
Holding onto “traditional” social norms can negatively affect a man’s mental health. Marital issues, substance abuse, societal expectations and traditional gender roles are just a few of the many issues men deal with on a day to day basis.
More than 1 in 5 women in the United States experienced a mental health condition in the past year, such as depression or anxiety. Trauma, personality disorders, depression and anxiety are but a handful of issues that I help women get on the path to recovery.
Dealing with substance abuse is an ongoing struggle that can wear on one’s personal and familial ties. Understanding the triggers that lead to substance abuse, learning coping mechanisms and how to regulate and heal are the first steps to a healthy you for the long-term.
Trauma, intergenerational trauma and anxiety disorders not only affect our mental state, but can lead to serious physical complications in our lives. The negative energy throughout ourselves that manifests in health issues that can otherwise be avoided or diffused.
