Life can be challenging as we face: stressors, changes, losses, and relationship and health issues. I specialize in helping people face life's most complex challenges and we jointly turn them into learning and growth opportunities. I have been working in the mental health field for almost 17 years and have been an independently licensed therapist for 12 years. I've worked with people from all races, religions, socio-economic classes, ability statuses, sex and gender identities and various sexual orientations. I do evidence-based psychotherapy with adults who reside anywhere in the states of: Arizona, Utah and Iowa. I also provide coaching, educational and consultative services to people and organizations in those same states, and to those outside of those listed geographic areas; and I would be honored to work with you! When engaging in psychotherapy with me, clients may find themselves exploring how past events influence current thinking and behavior. We may also explore how greater cultural influences have contributed to our development and may be interacting with our current problems and solutions. Time is spent on providing my clients with an empathetic, safe and supportive space to sort through their thoughts, feelings and experiences; while exploring scientific information related to our difficulties and acquiring new awareness and perspectives; and skills to face different obstacles. My clients express appreciation that I address their concerns with exceptional kindness, conscientiousness, and understanding; facilitate insight into their problems; assist them in recognizing and using their strengths; and support them in making positive changes in their lives.
