Many people who seek therapy at Scottsdale Integrative Therapy appear highly capable in their professional and personal lives while quietly carrying long-standing stress, unresolved experiences, or patterns that continue to affect their well-being. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, reflect with greater clarity, and begin making meaningful, lasting changes.
Many clients at Scottsdale Integrative Therapy are thoughtful, capable individuals who manage significant responsibility in their work or personal lives while navigating internal stress that others may not easily see.
Approach to Therapy
Approach to Therapy
I approach therapy as a collaborative process grounded in curiosity, respect, and thoughtful exploration. My work is guided by the understanding that healing often involves both deeper insight and attention to how experiences are held in the nervous system.
Therapy is tailored to each individual and informed by integrative, evidence-based approaches that support emotional flexibility, self-understanding, and a stronger connection to one’s internal experience.
And the appropriate use of the word fuck.
My clinical work draws from Internal Family Systems–informed therapy, mindfulness practices, somatic awareness, DBT-informed skills, and relational perspectives. This integrative framework helps clients understand how past experiences, relationships, and patterns of stress can shape present-day emotions, behaviors, and self-perception.
I work with adults in Scottsdale and throughout Arizona via tele-health navigating complex trauma, occupational stress and burnout, anxiety, relationship challenges, and significant life transitions.
Therapy is not about fixing what is broken, but about developing a clearer understanding of oneself and creating space for new ways of relating to life’s challenges.
Research & Publications
Research & Publications
I have contributed to academic research examining neurological and biological processes involved in human health and disease. This work reflects a long-standing interest in understanding the complex relationships between the brain, behavior, and emotional experience. and an ongoing interest in the scientific foundations of mental health and the ways neuroscience continues to inform our understanding of stress, resilience, and emotional well-being.
My exposure to research environments helped shape an appreciation for evidence-informed care and the importance of integrating scientific understanding with thoughtful clinical practice. While therapy focuses on the lived experience of each individual, research continues to inform my interest in how neuroscience, stress physiology, and relational experiences influence psychological well-being.
