I am a licensed doctoral psychotherapist with over 30 years of counseling experience in Arizona. My goal is to help you resolve your concerns, learn skills to meet your goals, and pursue a more satisfying and fulfilling life.
I specialize in working with couples, individuals, families specifically, relationship, parenting, divorce, singles/dating, loss, depression, anger, anxiety, and stress management issues.
In psychotherapy, we work on recognizing dysfunctional patterns of behavior, thinking, emotions and discover how these patterns affect our lives while shifting from problems to solutions. It is my sincere belief that in psychotherapy progress is made because of a very effective therapeutic alliance and bond between the client and myself. My work with clients is highly interactive, grounded in clear communication, respect, support, compassion, and empathy resulting in deeper satisfaction and connection. I consider myself to be a warm and open person and aim to empower my clients to explore their own experiences and deepen an understanding of self, relationships, and the world.
I have training in several modalities such as Adlerian Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method, Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and MIndfulness. Culturally informed in lifestyle differences, traditions, and expectations.
No matter how fortunate we believe to be, life is still difficult. Today's economy and unexpected life difficulties can cause us confusion, isolation, loneliness, restlessness, worry, despair, or addictive attempts to find relief and yet further devastating us. Personal counseling can help in restoring and rejuvenating our life.
