Explore the areas I specialize in, each approached with compassion, clinical expertise, and an individualized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Serving adults 25–80 in Phoenix, AZ and statewide via telehealth.
Grief & Loss
Grief comes in many forms—the death of a loved one, loss of a pet, or anticipatory grief. I provide grief counseling that honors your unique loss while supporting your emotional journey. This includes end-of-life support for caregivers and those navigating aging and existential transitions.
Attachment Disorders
Early relational trauma and disrupted bonds can lead to difficulties in trust, intimacy, and emotional regulation. My work in attachment-based therapy helps adults recognize patterns rooted in childhood, heal relationship wounds, and develop secure connections in the present.
Depression
Depression impacts every part of life. I offer a space to process emotional pain and disconnection, while gently working toward reconnection and meaning. Through therapies like ISTDP and CBT, clients uncover internal blocks and learn to rebuild a sense of hope, energy, and self-worth.
Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety can be overwhelming, but it is also treatable. I help clients manage generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, and health anxiety through evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, and ISTDP. Therapy focuses on understanding the root causes of worry and learning tools for long-term emotional regulation.
Aging & Life Transitions
Later adulthood comes with its own unique emotional challenges: caregiving, retirement, health changes, or loss of independence. I support adults through these stages with compassion and guidance, helping them explore identity, purpose, and quality of life as they age.
Eating Disorders
I work with adults managing restrictive eating, binge eating, emotional eating, or body image distress. Treatment focuses on underlying trauma, self-esteem, and building healthier relationships with food, self, and the body. Collaboration with dietitians or physicians is encouraged when needed.
Co-Occurring Disorders
When mental health and substance use overlap, treatment must address both simultaneously. I specialize in co-occurring care, integrating evidence-based practices to help clients manage symptoms and build a balanced, sustainable life.
Addiction Recovery
Whether you’re struggling with substance use, process addictions, or in recovery, I provide a nonjudgmental, trauma-informed space for healing. I integrate ISTDP and relapse prevention approaches to address the emotional roots of addiction and support long-term change.
