Therapists in Maricopa County, AZ

Life isn't always easy to deal with. The way we think, feel, and behave affects how we handle a certain situation. The relationships we have directly influences our lives. I want to help you through your life journey by helping you set clear boundaries with others, helping you overcome challenges, and by helping you find your inner strength. I can help you create appropriate coping skills and gain more awareness in your life. My goal is to empower you and watch you grow into your highest potential. Together, we can create goals and work hard to reach those goals. All you have to do is try.

Is your stress out of control? Are you trying to deal with a anxiety, depression, crisis, or trauma - with family, a job, being a caregiver, or other specific event? Is it affecting more of your life than you want to admit; impacting relationships? Are you avoiding things so you can manage your anxieties? Are harmful behaviors increasing to avoid dealing with these emotions? Fear of abandonment, lack of trust? All of these create issues that ooze into every aspect of our lives, and the lives of those around us. You are important and worth helping tackle these problems. You are not alone. I can help.

I enjoy working with clients who are seeking to reclaim their authentic selves. I strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment as clients seek to transform the "stuck" imprint of the past.

My holistic orientation may include traditional talk therapy, mindfulness, experiential and somatic therapies and spirituality.

Do you easily get over stimulated? Do people say you are too sensitive? Do you think and feel deeply? Are you aware of things around you that others are not? Does it take you longer to make a decision and then you worry if you have made the right decision? These things can be both good things and a problem at times. At times they can lead to depression or anxiety and other times they can be your greatest assets. Maybe you don't feel that these things could ever be your greatest asset so you need some help to realize that goal.

Seeking a therapist can be an unsettling endeavor. I can provide a free 10-minute phone consultation to help you determine whether or not we are a good fit. As your therapist, I bring a whole-person approach to healing the past and maximizing the present. My approach is an eclectic one and with over 30 years counseling experience, my "toolbox" is "well-stocked". We all have our own intuitive wisdom to guide us but we may need help in learning how to hear and honor these messages. I am confident that we can work collaboratively to create the life that you desire.

I welcome English or Spanish speaking women and couples. Women with depression, anxiety, grief, a cancer diagnosis, those needing to process trauma, abuse.

Couples who struggle with conflict, communication, or infidelity learn new skills for a future of experiencing love and understanding in a trusting relationship. I am a pastor's wife and can offer Biblical support and guidance if desired.

Do you feel stuck or lost much of the time, but also have an innate ability to recognize that you want and deserve more out of life, out of your relationships, perhaps more out of yourself? Do you want to participate in a deep dive of possible unconscious material that may be holding you back? Being able to open up about these vulnerabilities is challenging and involves deep exploration into the psyche. My intention is to create a safe, accepting container so you are able to explore all parts of yourself, welcome them and integrate them into your life.
