Family Therapy in Maricopa, AZ

I have over 19 years of experience in the behavioral health field working with people from various backgrounds, with 13 of those years being a counselor. I particularly like to work with individuals, couples and families. I believe that, ultimately, the client is the agent of change and I am simply the guide on your journey to wholeness. Together we will identify your goals and, through our work together, I will help you reach them. I work with a myriad of issues, from marital relationship and family conflict, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, trauma and more!

We all encounter challenges in our lives. I am here to help you successfully navigate through those challenges, to discover untapped inner resources and possibilities, for successful change to take place. Have you or your family been struggling to keep everything together but now have a growing sense that you are stuck and need help? Are you telling yourself “just get through another day”? Or do past events distress you still even though they happened years ago? If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, then I can help you bring a sense of balance and healing to your life.

Serving both Arizona and Idaho: Few things are as painful as feeling unseen, unheard, or misunderstood, especially when it comes from the things we hold most dear - our family, jobs, and dreams.

I enjoy working with people with a wide range of issues including: trauma, anger, anxiety, depression, family conflict, relationship issues, etc. I obtained my Masters in Educational Psychology at Northern Arizona University and currently working as an LAC.

My therapy style is eclectic, emphasizing a person-centered approach that is tailored to the unique needs of clients.

As a clinical therapist, I provide therapy for any and all types of populations and ages and a wide range of diagnosis. For me, providing therapy means that I listen, guide, advocate, and teach skills, without judgment, to help you become stronger and more successful in your life. Once we complete the intake, I schedule a therapy session with you. From there we start our therapeutic process. Depending on your goals, the therapeutic process can vary in length, but every case is individualized to your needs and I always meet you where you are.

As you begin your journey, you will begin to identify your main issues such as grief and loss, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, mood disorders, behavior, conflict, boundaries, and other issues.
