Therapists in Phoenix, AZ

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Associate Marriage Therapist (LAMFT), I help my clients identify triggers affecting their happiness and life satisfaction. I help clients reduce their mental health symptoms like depression, anxiety, insomnia, mood swings, attention deficits, and maladaptive personality habits. I specialize in Couples and Relationship Therapy. I am passionate about helping my clients create a secure and satisfying connection with their loved ones. Together with my clients, we identify their strengths, implement coping skills, and increase awareness to overcome their present life challenges.

Within all people there is a compelling force to move toward life and fulfillment. There are challenges along the way, and in the midst of COVID 19, there is extraordinary stress. Health, relationships and coping is of paramount importance. Is there hope for my marriage? What impact is marital conflict having on my children? I specialize in co parenting after divorce and those contemplating divorce. My background allows me to work with chronic illness, as well as with medical students, residents and fellows experiencing both acute and long term stress, particularly in their personal and professional lives.

We help people find the most effective strategies among the many many treatment options that exist today. Our clients often value the role physiology and spirituality play as well. All of us here look at each client as a unique person needed a unique recipe.

Serenity, Equanimity, Peace of Mind. Are these qualities sorely missing from your life? You are not alone. Most Westerners experience rushed living, lack of acceptance, anxious and depressed mood - what inevitably amounts to suffering. While pain is a universal experience, with practice suffering can become optional. But lack of skill, low motivation, and general haggardness of life prevent many from consistent self-care which can alleviate suffering. If this is your story, The Serenity Center was opened with you in mind. Reducing suffering to manageable levels is an achievable goal - and all you may need is a skillful guide.
