What should a new client know about working with you?
With over four decades of professional experience, I am a licensed Arizona therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. I believe in the power of storytelling, analogy, and metaphor to illuminate the human experience. By weaving these elements into our sessions, we can gain deeper insights and foster meaningful change.
I emphasize the importance of self-care as a cornerstone of mental health. Together, we can explore practices that nourish your mind, body, and spirit. Whether it’s mindfulness meditation, journaling, or simply spending time in nature, self-care can be a powerful tool for managing stress and promoting overall well-being.
Whether you’re feeling lost in a fog of anxiety or navigating the rocky terrain of a difficult relationship, I'm here to guide you. Together, we can explore the underlying patterns and beliefs that may be contributing to your challenges.
I specialize in addressing issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, and loss. Additionally, I am skilled in enhancing motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I approach each client with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring our sessions to your specific needs and goals. Embarking on a therapeutic journey can be courageous, and I commend you for taking this important step.
I also offer equine-assisted mental health services, which can provide a unique and powerful therapeutic experience. Horses offer a mirror to our emotions and behaviors, allowing us to develop greater self-awareness and connection with others.
In my free time, I enjoy:
• Hiking
• Spending time with horses
• Caring for cats
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
