Personal Statement

Do you struggle to connect with your partner emotionally or physically? You may be discouraged, feeling you've tried everything. I've consistently been able to help clients who have been unable to find help anywhere else. Practicing Emotionally Focused Therapy, a therapy with a 73% success rate vs. the 35% success rate of traditional couples therapy, makes all the difference. I can also provide integrated treatment through The Arizona Relationship Institute. Integrated treatment is the combining of individual & couples counseling with medical treatment (hormone balancing, nutrition, etc). Let us help you create the life you desire!

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and EMDR help couples and individuals improve emotional and physical intimacy. Sexual difficulties, infidelity, inter-faith couples, weight loss difficulty and body image, sexual trauma, addiction recovery, second marriages and blended families and general life transitions are areas that can be addressed.

By integrating treatments and interventions from sports medicine and holistic treatments, the brain and body are engaged in parallel processes of growth and healing. This integrated approach facilitates people having an integrated understanding of themselves and their relationships. It supports them in being able to take effectively shift out of distressing patterns into new patterns that they want for themselves and their relationships.
