Welcome. I’m glad you’re here.

Many people I work with are not new to therapy. They are often high-functioning, self-aware, and capable, but feel stuck in patterns that do not change, even with insight or effort.

These patterns often look like overthinking, emotional exhaustion, difficulty with boundaries, reassurance-seeking in relationships, avoidance of discomfort, or feeling responsible for other people’s emotions. Over time, this can show up as anxiety, burnout, relationship instability, or a general sense of being disconnected from how you actually want to live.

I’m a Licensed Associate Counselor in Phoenix, AZ providing structured, evidence-based psychotherapy for adults navigating anxiety, OCD-related patterns, depression, relational stress, and the impact of early family environments marked by emotional neglect, addiction, or instability.

My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). These approaches help us move beyond insight alone and focus instead on the mechanisms that maintain distress, such as avoidance, compulsive coping strategies, cognitive fusion, and emotional over-responsibility.

In therapy, we identify these patterns clearly, understand how they function, and then work directly with them using practical, structured interventions. This may include behavioral experiments, exposure work, cognitive defusion skills, values-based decision making, and between-session practice.

The goal is not just to feel better temporarily, but to build psychological flexibility and change the way you relate to discomfort, uncertainty, and internal pressure so your behavior aligns more consistently with your values.

I also work with individuals processing the long-term effects of family-of-origin trauma, particularly when early relational experiences continue to shape current attachment patterns, self-concept, or emotional regulation.

Therapy with me is active, structured, and collaborative. It is focused on change, not just exploration.
