Professional Counseling Services

I provide counseling to adults 18+ and mature adults (a.k.a. "elders") seeking to better their lives and reduce their level of distress, be it from academic/occupational stress, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, etc.  I currently work primarily through individual sessions. 

I have extensive experience in working with people who are high achieving, Type-A personality styles, people who have situational/performance anxiety, people who have experienced a loss, as well as those with low self-worth.  

Through my work in academic advising and higher education mental health counseling centers, I am uniquely qualified to assist those interested in pursuing higher education, health professions, and people considering re-careering. 

I have made it my mission to support the LGBTQIA community to help them with overcoming stigma/bullying, navigating the coming-out process, experiencing loss of family support, etc.  With me, you are free to be who you are and not feel judged or condemned.

Counseling is more than receiving advice or venting about a bad day to a good listener.  It's a process and a relationship that develops between a therapist and client.  Effective counseling requires an environment of mutual trust, openness, and honesty.  To begin to establish this trust with you, I invite you to call for a phone consultation prior to your first appointment.

I offer the following services

• Individual Counseling
• Personal Growth-Identity-Sexuality Counseling
• Career & Post-Secondary Educational Counseling
• Distance Therapy (Online Counseling within Arizona only)

To arrange an appointment, call 480.238.5841
