Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Sierra Vista, AZ

You may be coming here as an adult looking for support to manage everything going on even though it looks like you have it all together from an outsider’s perspective. People tell you “you’re killing it” but you feel burnt out and lost. Maybe you’re a stressed out parent trying to help your child or teen manage their emotional well being and they will talk to anyone besides you as their parent. Perhaps, you’re at an earlier stage of parenting and are pregnant, in the adoption process or navigating postpartum, needing space to figure out what this new role means. You may have tried therapy before and had difficulty clicking with a therapist or have been looking for weeks, even months, to find someone who’s bio you connect with.

Life presents numerous challenges; at Desert Horizons Therapy, I specialize in comprehensive support, focusing on trauma. My EMDR training guides individuals through difficulties like depression, anxiety, anger, grief, stress, autism, family and couple issues, self-growth, self-esteem, substance abuse, sleep problems, postpartum anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and psychosis. My inclusive approach extends to families, couples, adults, and children. We also have an associate-level female clinician on staff if you prefer a female provider!
