Individual Therapy in Arizona

Support for the ones who are used to being the strong one

Many of my clients are therapists, healthcare providers, educators, or high-achieving women who are used to supporting others — and are ready to feel supported themselves.

Therapy offers a space to step out of survival patterns, build self-trust, and reconnect with who you are beyond performance and responsibility.

Burnout & Chronic Stress

Feeling constantly “on,” but running on empty.
You might be used to pushing through, staying productive, and showing up for others—but underneath, you’re exhausted.

This can look like:

  • feeling drained no matter how much you rest

  • difficulty slowing down or relaxing

  • irritability, overwhelm, or emotional shutdown

  • losing motivation for things you used to care about

Areas of Focus

People-Pleasing, Perfectionism & Self-Worth

A tendency to prioritize others, get things “right,” or avoid disappointing anyone—often at your own expense.

You may:

  • struggle to say no or set boundaries

  • feel pressure to meet high expectations

  • be highly self-critical or hard on yourself

  • tie your worth to how much you do for others

Women’s Experiences & Identity

Navigating expectations, roles, and identity as a woman—especially when you’re used to being strong, capable, and responsible.

  • This may include:

    • balancing multiple roles and responsibilities

    • feeling pressure to “hold it all together”

    • losing connection to your own needs or identity

    • wanting something to change, but not knowing where to start

Depression, Low Mood & Disconnection

Not always obvious sadness—but a heaviness that lingers.
Sometimes it shows up as numbness, feeling flat, or not fully present in your life.

You might notice:

  • low energy or difficulty getting started

  • feeling disconnected from yourself or others

  • emotional ups and downs that feel hard to manage

  • a sense of “going through the motions”

Relationships & Family Dynamics

Patterns in relationships that feel familiar—but not always fulfilling.

This can include:

  • difficulty expressing your needs

  • feeling misunderstood or emotionally disconnected

  • repeating dynamics from family or past relationships

  • navigating conflict while trying to keep the peace

Trauma & Early Life Experiences

Experiences from the past can continue to shape how you feel, respond, and relate—often in ways that aren’t fully conscious.

This might show up as:

  • heightened anxiety or feeling on edge

  • shutting down or disconnecting in stressful moments

  • patterns in relationships that feel hard to change

  • difficulty feeling safe, grounded, or secure

Grief, Loss & Life Transitions

Adjusting to change—whether expected or not—can bring up a mix of emotions.

You might be:

  • processing a loss (relationship, identity, phase of life)

  • navigating a major transition or uncertainty

  • feeling stuck between where you were and what’s next

  • trying to make sense of shifting roles or priorities

How I Work

Therapy with me isn’t one-size-fits-all.

I’m less focused on following a rigid model and more focused on understanding you—how your experiences, patterns, and nervous system have shaped the way you move through the world.

Our work is:

  • Collaborative

  • Trauma-informed

  • Paced in a way that doesn’t feel overwhelming

We’ll pay attention not just to what’s happening in your life—but how it’s showing up internally, in your thoughts, emotions, and body.

FAQs

Do you offer virtual therapy in Arizona?

Yes. All sessions are held virtually for residents throughout Arizona, which includes Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, Avondale, Queen Creek, Tucson, Flagstaff, and more. This allows for flexibility and consistency, while still creating a meaningful and connected therapy experience.


What if I’ve done therapy before and it didn’t help?

That’s more common than you might think. Sometimes therapy can stay at the level of insight without creating deeper change. My approach integrates trauma-informed and body-based methods to support processing—not just understanding.


Most clients start with weekly sessions to build consistency and momentum. From there, we can adjust based on your needs and goals.

How often do we meet?


I accept Aetna, Cigna, Carelon, and Quest Behavioral Health and I also offer private pay options. I offer a limited amount of sliding scale spots for those with financial need or without insurance. We can go over this during your consultation so you know what to expect.

Do you accept insurance?

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable — but you don’t have to navigate it alone. If you’re considering working together, I invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation. We’ll talk about what you’re looking for and determine whether this feels like a good fit — without pressure.
