Why Choose Specialized Therapy in Sedona
Sedona attracts individuals who are ready for deeper healing work. Many of my clients have already explored traditional counseling approaches and are seeking therapy that addresses their whole being—not just symptoms. The combination of Sedona's unique energy and my specialized training creates a supportive environment for lasting transformation.
My approach to mental health care integrates evidence-based treatments with innovative modalities, ensuring you receive comprehensive support for your healing journey. Whether you're struggling with trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, or mood disorders, I create personalized treatment plans that honor your unique experiences and goals.
Therapeutic Specializations
EMDR Therapy for Trauma Healing
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a cornerstone of my practice. This powerful approach helps your brain naturally process traumatic memories, reducing emotional distress and promoting healing. EMDR therapy is particularly effective for:
Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Complex trauma from childhood experiences
Anxiety disorders and panic responses
Depression rooted in difficult life experiences
Relationship issues stemming from attachment wounds
Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR accesses your brain's innate healing capacity, often creating profound shifts without requiring you to repeatedly relive traumatic experiences. This approach helps develop greater self compassion and emotional freedom.
Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy
Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy represents a revolutionary approach to healing, combining ancient wisdom with modern counseling psychology. This modality is especially powerful for:
Treatment-resistant depression and anxiety
Complex PTSD and trauma-related disorders
Individuals seeking breakthrough healing experiences
Those who feel stuck in traditional therapy approaches
Processing grief and loss
Addressing existential concerns and finding meaning
Healing trauma with spiritual dimensions
Breaking free from rigid thought patterns
Cultivating compassionate self-understanding
When held within a therapeutic container by an experienced guide, psychedelic experiences can provide profound insights and emotional breakthroughs that support lasting transformation.
Individual Therapy and Couples Counseling
Individual Therapy Approach
My individual therapy practice focuses on adults at significant life crossroads. Whether you're navigating career transitions, processing major losses, or experiencing spiritual awakenings, I provide dedicated support in a compassionate setting.
I work with clients who:
Are successful outwardly but carry deep inner wounds
Have explored traditional therapy but seek transformative approaches
Value privacy and boutique therapeutic experiences
Are open to expanded states of consciousness
View healing as a worthwhile investment in their well-being
My holistic approach addresses not just symptoms but underlying patterns, helping you develop lasting resilience and authentic self-expression.
Couples Counseling Services
Relationships often present our greatest healing opportunities. My couples counseling integrates attachment theory with practical interventions to help partners create deeper connection and resolve longstanding patterns.
I specialize in:
Communication enhancement and conflict resolution
Healing relationship trauma and attachment wounds
Processing shared trauma experiences
Deepening intimacy and emotional connection
Supporting couples through major life transitions
Whether working individually or with couples, I create a safe space for exploring intimate relationships and developing healthier patterns of connection.
Mental Health Concerns I Address
Trauma and PTSD Treatment
Trauma affects each person differently, requiring individualized treatment approaches. I specialize in treating:
Complex Trauma: Childhood experiences that shaped nervous system development, often manifesting in relationship difficulties and emotional regulation challenges.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder: Single-incident traumas that create lasting symptoms affecting daily life and overall well-being.
Spiritual Trauma: Religious or spiritual wounds that impact one's relationship with meaning and transcendence.
My trauma-informed approach provides both clinical safety and emotional attunement, creating conditions for genuine healing and integration.
Anxiety and Depression Treatment
Anxiety and depression often stem from unprocessed experiences or overwhelming life stressors. I address these mental health concerns through:
Exploring underlying causes and triggers
Developing practical coping skills and emotional regulation strategies
Processing contributing traumatic experiences through EMDR therapy
Integrating mindfulness and somatic approaches
Using innovative treatments for treatment-resistant cases
The goal extends beyond symptom management to helping you develop resilience, self compassion, and genuine hope.
Relationship Issues and Family Dynamics
Understanding family of origin patterns and attachment styles is crucial for healing relationship issues. Even in individual therapy, I explore how family therapy principles apply to your current challenges:
Intergenerational trauma patterns
Attachment styles developed in childhood
Communication patterns that support or hinder connection
Impact of family dynamics on mental health concerns
Developing capacity for intimate relationships
This comprehensive approach helps you understand and transform relational patterns that may be limiting your happiness and connection.
