Feeling stressed-out, depressed, anxious or overwhelmed?

You've arrived here because you are searching for answers, help, acceptance, understanding, compassion and an end to your distress.  Whether the source of your anxiety or depression is rooted in your history, experience, relationship or career; I believe the answer to resolving your pain lies within you.  You have a right to a better life, to live with less distress, and with more peace and enjoyment.  

 

You can overcome your feelings of stress, anxiety/panic, grief, and depression.  Make it easier by enlisting the help of a qualified professional counselor, someone trained in psychotherapy and dedicated to helping clients achieve peace.

 

Counseling is not magic.  Counseling is a professional relationship that develops between you and a therapist.  Like any relationship, counseling can take time to develop trust and a sense of safety.  As your counselor, I strive to provide an open, accepting, and comfortable counseling environment where you can explore your past experiences, thoughts, and feelings.  The role of a counselor is not to judge, criticize, or direct a client in "right" or "wrong" behavior.  You may already know what is right or wrong for you, but you can't seem to reach it.  I see the counselor's role as being a supporter, an educator and a confidant. 

 

Be courageous and reach out today.  Take the challenge.  You do have the ability to change your life,  Begin a journey to a new you.  Stop living with stress, anxiety, panic, depression, grief... 

Start LIVING!

"As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have over 10 years of experience counseling people overwhelmed by stress, depression, grief, anxiety, panic and panic-related disorders using an effective, counseling approach that addresses the body, mind and spirit. 

 

I have worked with many people just like you, creating an accepting, nonjudgmental and supportive environment in which change feels possible. I have been a practicing counselor with various counseling centers in community health, educational and healthcare settings in the Phoenix, Arizona Metropolitan Area.  I now provide therapy in my private practice in Mesa, helping people out of their distress.  By blending various counseling and psychotherapy approaches, I am able to address clients' needs from an holistic perspective."
