Hello! I'm an LPC with about nine years of experience and a focus in existential meaning-centered logotherapy, based in Tempe, AZ. I received my degrees from ASU and Argosy University, and since then, I've been dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and finding deeper meaning and purpose. In my private practice, I aim to provide support for clients on their journey towards self-discovery, growth, and creating a life worth living.
During the first session, my hope is to provide a warm and welcoming environment where clients can openly share their goals and concerns. I will take the time to get to know them, asking questions to understand their background, current challenges, and what they hope to achieve in therapy.
As a provider, I believe my greatest strengths lie in my empathetic approach, my understanding of existential meaning-centered logotherapy, my ability to create a safe and supportive space, and my passion for empowering clients to live meaningful and authentic lives.
My approach is particularly beneficial for individuals who may be grappling with existential questions, experiencing a sense of emptiness or dissatisfaction, struggling with mood and anxiety disorders, or navigating significant life transitions.
As an Existential Logotherapist, I integrate existential principles and logotherapy. My approach emphasizes the search for meaning and a supportive space to explore existential concerns, fundamental life questions, and embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth.
Drawing from my experience and training, I include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients with cognitive restructuring and understanding the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, developing coping skills, and problem-solving strategies.
As a practitioner of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I use DBT's core principles and techniques to help clients cultivate mindfulness, regulate emotions, improve interpersonal effectiveness, and develop distress tolerance skills.
Drawing upon my training and experience in SFBT, I help clients in identifying their strengths, resources, and solutions. And through collaborative and goal-oriented conversations, we envision desired futures, clarify objectives, and identify actionable steps to move towards preferred outcomes.
As a counselor with experience in Motivational Interviewing (MI), I help clients with building intrinsic motivation for change, exploring values, goals, and aspirations, while also acknowledging the challenges and obstacles they may face along the way.
