Top in-person Arizona therapists and psychiatrists who accept cash payments

Choosing to seek therapy to work on ourselves can be a scary endeavor, as there are times where it can become uncomfortable to face some of the challenges in our lives in order to feel better. I like to utilize solution focused therapy, mindfulness practices, as well as CBT, DBT, and EMDR as some of the tools to help my patients. I come from a client centered approach, and I offer a safe and therapeutic environment either from the online platform or in person. I invite you to take that next step and start the journey towards healing and learning how to become your best authentic self. I specialize in working with LGBTQ, anxiety, issues in dealing with lack of self-esteem and self-worth, along with relationship troubles, and learning to adjust to the complex world we are living in. I welcome you to feel empowered to take back control in your life and to have the courage to find what makes you happy and healthy. Open to working with children/adolescents 16 years and older.

Welcome! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping individuals feel seen, heard, and empowered. I use a person-centered approach, which means you are the expert on your experience, and our work together will honor that. In a safe, nonjudgmental space, I’ll support you in navigating life’s challenges, developing meaningful coping tools, and creating lasting change. While person-centered therapy grounds my work, I also draw from other evidence-based approaches as needed to best support your goals and growth. Reaching out for support takes courage — and it’s a powerful first step. Let’s start the conversation. I’m here when you’re ready.

I like to step outside of the "What's wrong with you?" model of treatment and build upon and expand your current strengths and talents. For some of my clients, this involves helping them use their existing skills in different ways, and for others, it's about assisting them to recognize and claim their innate wisdom and strengths. I use a real-world approach to treatment and am a master at breaking down complex issues into bite-sized pieces that can easily be absorbed and integrated. I spent the first half of my career in Corporate America as an executive with a dot com. Having had my journey to learn how to manage stress better and create a meaningful and fulfilling life outside the workplace, I know how hard it can be to fit self-care into a busy lifestyle. I have specialized experience in trauma and abuse, anxiety disorders, and depression, and I have worked with anger management and frozen grief. I also have helped many people find their passion again after burnout. I am certified in Rapid Resolution Therapy and am also a hypnotherapist. My approach focuses on what best meets your lifestyle, learning style, and personal goals.

Since 2018, I have utilized person-centered and strength-based practices to promote the "Power of Self." These practices empower individuals to direct their therapeutic process. Establishing a safe zone and welcoming client feedback allows methods that are proven to be effective in managing difficulties, promoting personal growth, and accomplishing personal goals. I also provide therapy services to individuals exploring their sexuality; sexually fluent; and those that are experiencing a decrease or increase in sexual functioning. My experience includes working with life transitions (military and civilian), intimacy barriers, sexuality connections, depression, anxiety, LGBTQIA+ challenges, trauma, race-related trauma, Military Trauma, PTSD, and addiction. My purpose is to help uplift and contribute to the healing of others while affirming individuals from all ethnic backgrounds. As life happens, you do not have to walk your journey on your own. Give yourself grace and take your journey one day at a time.

Three words that describe my style are person-centered, warm, caring. My approach: 1) I never pathologize the client. 2) I look for the good, and I always find it. 3) I look for your strengths and competencies. 4) I work alongside you. You know yourself best. 5) We might even laugh in our sessions. I was a former divorced, single parent and I've been in a blended family now for 34 years. I know blended families, divorce, parenting, women's issues. I'm as human as you are; I've had my own counseling in the past. I listen and I am not going to judge you. As a trauma therapist, I respect how the brain is marvelously hardwired to move in the direction of healing, and I never pathologize a client's attempts at survival and coping. Welcome!

First and foremost, I am a Father. As a Marriage & Family Therapist, psychotherapy has been a wonderful career and life’s work. At times, I do miss building homes with my father and brother's. I enjoyed teaching Human Development at Weber State. I served in the United States Airforce Reserves in the 419th Security Forces. Apart from private practice, inpatient and outpatient therapy, I worked with homeless veterans in Salt Lake City during my military service. Post military service, I decided to train to fly helicopters. As I trained to fly helicopters, I specialized in ketamine assisted psychotherapy to treat suicidal ideation and treatment resistant mental health disorders. Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy and Clinical Supervision for Social Workers at the University of Utah was a highlight of my career as is flying! I look forward to continuing my life’s work as a therapist. As we engage in a therapeutic relationship; I hope to sincerely help you through significant life stages, stressors and symptoms. Mental Health Matters! After a decade of therapy, I believe in a humanistic existential approach as much as the science of psychotherapy. Happy to Help! Health & Healing.
