Acceptance and Commitment Therapy therapists in Arizona

My practice focuses on meeting the needs of individuals who (a) have difficulty managing the toll of a significant medical condition (cancer, chronic pain, HIV/AIDs, etc.) that impacts quality of life, and (b) individuals who are in helping roles and faced with burnout, compassion fatigue, and/or vicarious trauma. I create a safe place allowing you the ability to explore options that fit your values and goals. Each person's unique perspective and experience is honored in a nonjudgmental and compassionate space. As a medical patient and helping professional myself, I've found this approach most effective when I've been in similar shoes. I am dedicated to providing evidence-based, culturally competent, ethical services to the community. If you're interested in talking further to see if this can be a good fit, please feel free outreach. You are not alone!  

As a psychologist, I am deeply committed to providing empathetic and person-centered care that fosters growth, self-discovery, and personal development. I believe that every individual has a unique story, and my role is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where people can explore their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Through this process, I aim to help individuals better understand themselves and develop tools to navigate life's challenges with resilience and self-compassion. My values as a therapist encompass compassion and respect, with a deep commitment to personal growth. I approach each therapeutic relationship with the belief that people have an inherent capacity for growth. My role is to support clients in unlocking their potential, helping them explore their values, identify their strengths, and make decisions that help them progress on personal goals. Utilizing a variety of techniques, I view therapy as a collaborative process, adapting to your needs and desired goals in therapy. Ultimately, my goal is to support individuals encountering concerns related to depression, anxiety, anger, trauma/stress, emotional dysregulation, and other general concerns a person may encounter. I teach skills from ACT, DBT, CBT, CPT, and other evidenced based therapy techniques to give you the opportunity for customized skill building for your specific concerns.  

Clients work best with someone they trust and feel comfortable with. One of the most consistent pieces of feedback I get is how easy it is to talk with me and they appreciate that I'm "real". I believe that a pinch of empathy and a dash of compassion makes the perfect recipe to provide you an accurate reflection needed to do meaningful therapy work.
