Experience
I have been providing counseling services in Arizona for over 13 years. In addition to my private practice I have provided services as a therapist and consultant for four of the Valley’s psychiatric and medical hospitals and one managed care company. I have worked with individuals of all ages and concerns and I look forward to working with you and your family.
Values
I respect all religious, spiritual, and cultural belief and value systems. I work with individuals of all ages, beliefs, cultures, and sexual orientations. I tailor each therapy session to work within your unique values, goals, and belief systems to achieve the results you desire. I have helped children, adolescents, adults, couples, and the elderly achieve their goals and resolve their concerns.
What To Expect
In therapy we will identify your current concerns and the changes or goals you would like to achieve. Using a solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral approach to therapy we will focus on how you would like your life and relationships to be, and take action to achieve it. I will guide you through the techniques and skills needed to change your thoughts and behaviors to create the life you desire. I provide a safe and neutral environment to practice change, explore decisions, and examine the positive and negative consequences of your various options and choices.
