My practice is based in Phoenix, Arizona; however, I am also credentialed to provide telepsychology in many other states across the US. I do not believe in unnecessary suffering. Our first session usually begins with you telling me about the problem, and we explore what has contributed to and exacerbated this problem.
I work to support you by building on your strengths, provide psychoeducation connected to your treatment goals, and work to integrate evidence-based strategies and skills. I find most of my clients want to reduce the pain associated with the problem; therefore, I work quickly with you to reduce anxiety, depression, stress and trauma related symptoms.

We begin with a 90 minute comprehensive biopsychosocial evaluation. Using a holistic approach, I work to relieve the most pressing issues first. Then, we address the ares of life where change can have huge impacts on ongoing stress reduction and increased happiness. I teach ways to "re-frame" thoughts (CBT or REBT) and provide you with valuable life tools, including mindfulness techniques, to cope with life's obstacles.
You then learn techniques to alter or change the feedback to more healthy patterns. These techniques have been shown to be incredibly effective in learning to manage emotions and reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, pain and insomnia.
