Anxiety often feels like an impending sense of doom. It can affect your ability to function, and can often be very isolating. I work with individuals to reduce anxiety through mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Trauma can be a result of one event or multiple events over time. Symptoms may include depression, anxiety, panic     attacks, dissociation, and low self-esteem. I work with individuals using the "bottom up" approach. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist-Individual.

Codependency is characterized by individuals that have unbalanced relationships, and the individual will put the needs of others before themselves. Some characteristics of codependency include: low self-esteem, difficulty making decisions, people pleasing, poor boundaries, and difficulty identifying emotions. I work with individuals to red discover themselves, identifying destructive behavioral patterns, and getting acquainted with their needs and emotions.

Change comes from a fear of the unknown or an expectation of loss. Depending on how you view the change, good or bad, may determine how well you adjust. Therapy can help with changing perception, increase quality coping skills, and provide the support needed to successfully adjust to change.

In every relationship there are times when it is helpful to have a professional as a sounding board. Couples therapy you can learn about “blind spots.”  Blind spots are things you do that you are not aware of, but others can see. For example, unhealthy communication patterns and conflict avoidance. The goal of therapy is to increase awareness and tools to increase satisfaction in the relationship. 

In light of recent announcements of Covid-19 community spread in Maricopa County, while no cases have been connected to my office, my intent is to  minimize community risk and provide a pathway for continuity of services during this time. 

If you are feeling unwell, have travelled in the last 14-21 days to an affected area, or have a friend or family member who may have been exposed to Covid-19, please refrain from attending in-person sessions.

I have the ability to provide secure telehealth sessions via your client portal, which will allow us to continue meeting without interruption through this time period.
