It is close to Scottsdale Air Park and near the Loop 101 Scottsdale Road exit, also near the Thunderbird Road and Greenway Parkway exits of the State Highway 51.
Most important I will be better able to serve clients throughout the Metro Phoenix and Scottsdale area.

I also provide individual, couples and family therapy.
I am passionate about my work and in helping people achieve a sense of well- being. At times of transition and crisis in our lives, we are faced with turbulent and conflicting feelings.

As a clinician, I have been tremendously inspired by Patt Denning, PhD, and her groundbreaking book: Practicing Harm Reduction Psychotherapy: An Alternative approach to Addictions, 2nd ed., 2004.
