Phoenix, AZ | Tucson, AZ (Offers Online Therapy)

Interacting with intense or dismissing people may be tripping you up or shutting you down. Since we typically can't get everyone else into therapy (but wouldn't that be amazing?), getting you some help may just be the ticket to stop the cascade of effects you're experiencing. The "go it alone" path doesn't work well for most of us. Therapy is like hiring a trained guide who knows better paths to get you where you'd like to be, helping you balance of presence, protection and playfulness more helpfully. Being a human is complicated, our systems desire yet resist change. We'll work with not against that resistance in respectful ways at a pace that suits and benefits you, with in and between session practice of skills you can use to transform reactivity to resilience.

Are you the parent of a child with behavioral challenges at home, school and elsewhere? Perhaps you're an adult who has struggled personally and relationally yourself and would like to understand and improve these challenges. Are you tired of trying to figure out why these episodes keep happening? Maybe others' behavior is triggering reactivity in you that you'd like to better understand and manage. All behavior is communication, sometimes it flags a stress response to underlying struggles, unmet needs and unsolved problems. If all your best efforts have you turning against, or away from, one another, please reach out for support. Often once underlying issues are addressed and needs are met, challenging behavior recedes.
I currently provide telehealth-based skills-building support; working with individuals and whole family systems (including nannies, grandparents and teachers, as needed). Everyone can call in from home, work or school, kids can attend part of a session and adults can complete the remainder; learning skills that guide the whole family toward progress and greater peace. While I don't accept insurance, I do have openings and can get you in without a long wait. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
