what it’s like to work with me

individual therapy in phoenix and online throughout arizona

Maybe you’re anxious, overwhelmed, navigating relationships, or wondering why you feel stuck. Maybe you’re questioning your beliefs, exploring your identity, or figuring out what matters to you. We can start wherever you are.

Mostly, we talk.

You bring whatever’s taking up space in your head. This can mean a theme or topic, recent or past events that you want to sort through, or a life timeline. I ask questions, offer feedback, and help you zoom out when you’re deep in the weeds. We explore patterns, make sense of your experiences, and talk about why your brain might do what it does. There’s room for stories, humor, and things you haven’t quite found words for yet.

Understanding yourself—and deciding what comes next.

My approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), person-centered therapy, and narrative therapy. We work on making room for difficult feelings, recognizing what you can’t change, and what you want to put your energy toward. You don’t have to feel completely confident or have everything solved before moving toward a life that feels more like yours.

We figure out what works for you.

Some people process by talking things through. Others appreciate questions, practical ideas, or a different perspective. Art can also be an option when we’re working in-office. I’ll work at a pace that feels safe for you, and you can always tell me when something isn’t helping.

I offer secular, LGBTQ+ affirming and neurodivergent-affirming therapy, with particular experience in adult ADHD, religious trauma, and faith deconstruction.

The practical stuff

Sessions are about 55 minutes, in Central Phoenix or online throughout Arizona. I have evening, weekend and daytime availability. My self-selected sliding scale is $100–$200 per session, without income verification. You can find more details on my fees and FAQ pages.

I have had the privilege of coming alongside people on their counseling journeys since 2008. Wherever you are on your path, I look forward to meeting you soon!
