Therapy grounded in depth, safety, and clinical integrity (Arizona and Maine residents only)
Clinical Modalities
This work is rooted in licensed clinical practice and offered to Arizona and Maine residents. Clinical therapy is for those who want to work with grief, trauma, anxiety, neurodiversity, and life transitions within a regulated therapeutic container — one that prioritizes safety, ethics, and nervous system care while still leaving room for depth, intuition, and the unknown.
While evidence-based foundations matter here, the work is not rigid or formulaic. Sessions are relational, spacious, and tailored. They are guided by what is happening in your body, your inner life, and your lived experience, not just a protocol.
Clinical Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a core part of my clinical practice, offering a powerful, evidence-based approach to support mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Through therapeutic hypnosis, we access deeper layers of awareness where beliefs, emotional patterns, and behaviors are often formed and stored.
Benefits of Clinical Hypnotherapy
My clinical hypnotherapy sessions in Scottsdale can help with:
Grief and trauma integration – Process and release unresolved emotions in a safe, supportive environment.
Anxiety and stress regulation – Learn to calm the nervous system and reduce chronic stress symptoms.
Phobias and irrational fears – Overcome fears that limit your daily life.
Breaking unhelpful habits – Address patterns like insomnia, smoking, nail-biting, or emotional eating.
Releasing self-critical or limiting thoughts – Cultivate self-compassion and positive internal narratives.
Managing chronic stress and somatic symptoms – Support the mind-body connection for lasting relief.
What to Expect from Hypnotherapy
Contrary to common misconceptions, hypnotherapy does not involve losing control. Clients often experience a state of focused presence, where the subconscious and body actively participate in healing. Sessions are collaborative, consent-based, and paced carefully, ensuring safety and comfort at every step.
If you want to find out more, I offer pre-recorded hypnotherapy sessions available for download.
Trauma lives not only in memory but also in the body and nervous system. My trauma-informed therapy approachrecognizes that symptoms such as anxiety, hypervigilance, or emotional dysregulation are actually intelligent adaptations to overwhelming experiences.
Trauma Therapy Modalities
I offer a range of evidence-based trauma therapy techniques in Arizona and Maine to support processing and healing:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) – Effectively process distressing or stuck memories.
Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) – Gently address early shock and threat responses stored in the nervous system.
Brainspotting Therapy – Access trauma that is held beyond words for deeper integration.
ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) – Reduce emotional intensity and reframe past experiences.
Benefits of Trauma-Informed Therapy
Release trauma held in the body and nervous system
Reduce anxiety, hypervigilance, and emotional overwhelm
Restore agency, safety, and choice in healing
Work at a gentle pace tailored to your system’s readiness
Why Choose Trauma Therapy with a Trauma-Informed Approach
I prioritize client safety, consent, and self-agency, allowing your nervous system to process experiences at its own pace. Combining mind-body techniques with evidence-based therapies can lead to lasting emotional resilience and nervous system regulation. Trauma therapy is available through individual sessions or trauma therapy intensives, depending on your needs and goals.
Trauma‑Informed Therapy
Family Systems & Attachment‑Based Therapy
Much of our inner world is shaped by relationships. Using Family Systems Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy, I help clients in Arizona and Maine understand how early relational experiences influence thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in adult life.
What I Explore in Therapy
Through these frameworks, we examine:
Repeating patterns – Identify cycles in relationships that may be holding you back
Relational roles and expectations – Understand family dynamics that shaped your sense of self
Safety, closeness, and trust – Explore how these were learned and how they influence current relationships
Benefits of Family Systems and Attachment Therapy
Gain insight into relationship patterns that impact your life
Learn to relate differently to yourself and others
Increase emotional awareness, trust, and connection in relationships
Break cycles of dysfunctional family or attachment behaviors
By bringing these dynamics into awareness, clients develop freedom and choice in relationships, creating healthier ways of connecting with themselves and others.
Grief Therapy
Grief is not something to get over, resolve, or move past - it is something to integrate into your way of being. My clinical grief therapy in Arizona and Maine provides a supportive, compassionate space to honor what you’ve lost while helping you continue living fully.
How Grief Therapy Can Help
Through evidence-based grief counseling and bereavement support, I help clients:
Process life-altering losses in a safe and supportive environment
Integrate grief into daily life without minimizing its impact
Navigate emotions and memories associated with loss
Live fully alongside grief, cultivating meaning and resilience
Clinical grief therapy recognizes that healing is not about “moving on” but finding ways to carry loss while continuing to engage with life. Sessions are paced according to your needs, prioritizing emotional safety, self-compassion, and personal agency.
Autism Assessment & Support (MIGDAS‑2)
The MIGDAS‑2 assessment is a structured tool designed to clarify how you experience the world socially, emotionally, cognitively, and sensorily. It provides insight into your unique patterns of perception, thinking, and feeling.
How MIGDAS‑2 Can Be Used
Deepen self-awareness and personal growth – Gain insight into how your mind works and how you relate to the world
Inform individualized therapy strategies – Used alongside therapy to create tailored support and guidance
The Goal of MIGDAS‑2
The MIGDAS‑2 assessment focuses on understanding your place on the autism spectrum rather than labeling and diagnosing. By identifying your unique cognitive, emotional, and sensory experiences, therapy and support can be personalized to your needs, helping you navigate life with greater self-awareness, insight, and confidence.
Ketamine-assisted therapy in Phoenix offers a unique opportunity for insight, emotional release, and perspective shifts. By combining therapeutic ketamine sessions with reflective, guided therapy, clients can step outside habitual thought patterns, access new perspectives, and process difficult emotions.
Benefits of Ketamine-Assisted Therapy
Break free from habitual thinking – Gain clarity by stepping outside entrenched mental patterns
Accelerated emotional processing – Work through challenging emotions in a safe, supportive environment
Insight and perspective shifts – Access new ways of understanding yourself and your experiences
Transformative therapeutic outcomes – When paired with therapy, ketamine can enhance personal growth and emotional resilience
This approach is often used for clients seeking psychedelic-assisted therapy, mental health support, or alternative approaches to emotional healing. By integrating ketamine with reflective therapy, the process can be both accelerated and transformative, helping clients move toward meaningful insight and lasting change.
Ketamine‑Assisted Therapy
Induced After Death Communication (IADC)
Induced After-Death Communication (IADC) Therapy is a clinical, EMDR-based therapy designed to help clients in Scottsdale and Maine process and integrate deep emotional experiences related to loss, grief, or unresolved emotions. Typically conducted over two consecutive sessions, IADC uses a modified EMDR protocol to foster emotional regulation, self-understanding, and personal growth.
How IADC Therapy Works
EMDR-Based Emotional Processing – Helps clients work through intense emotions safely and effectively
Integration of Loss and Grief – Supports emotional integration after life-altering experiences
Cultivation of Receptivity – Once emotional processing is achieved, clients may experience a sense of connection through the five senses or intuitive awareness
Non-Dependent on Belief – The therapy is effective regardless of whether experiences are interpreted as spiritual, neurobiological, or otherwise
Benefits of Induced After-Death Communication Therapy
Promote emotional healing and regulation
Enhance self-awareness and personal insight
Facilitate processing of grief, loss, or unresolved emotional experiences
Support clients in connecting with profound emotional or intuitive experiences safely
