Find a Therapist in Tempe, AZ

Our practice is casual and we work hard to make you feel comfortable with your counseling experience. We believe that if you could have figured out the problem yourself, you would have, and if you're coming to us, it's because you want help, not just someone to smile and nod and say, "and how do you feel about that?" However, we also believe that you probably already have all the answers you need - all we do is help you find them.

You find yourself in one of the toughest season’s of your life. You’re experiencing a traumatizing event (a break-up, a job loss, the death of a loved one, loneliness, or simply just unhappiness).

Well might I suggest you start with me? I’ll help equip you with the tools to address your problems so you're empowered to face any feelings of depression or anxiety. Life can be a struggle, and you no longer have to face those struggles alone.

Dedicated with sharing their story, retired NFL player Louis Leonard and his wife Lacey knew they weren't alone. Like many players who suffered from TBI and symptoms of CTE, Louis found himself struggling with mental health conditions following his NFL career. Like 80 % of marriages in the NFL, the couple found themselves divorced. Years later, with therapy and counseling, the couple got remarried. This inspired them to create a safe place for former Athletes and individuals alike, to receive therapy who may be dealing with issues related to: (depression, marriage, relationship, substance abuse and more).

I have worked with kids and their families for over 25 years. My favorite children and teens are strong willed, capable, and smart (academic and/or common sense). I see kids ranging from 3 year old to college students. Some of the most common issues that I work with are ADD/ADHD, Oppositional/Defiant, Depression, Anxiety and Bipolar Disorders. Other general issues are poor social skills, difficulty with frustration, poor communication skills and parent-child conflict. Because so many of the families that I see are struggling with how get along easily, I prefer to include parents whenever possible.

*Telehealth offered during social distancing and accepting new Clients* As a therapist trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) I help to unlock the mystery of what our emotions are trying to tell us, in a logical way. I thrive on working with couples who feel "stuck" in their relationship or are facing infertility, infidelity, betrayal or sexual trauma, life transitions, retirement, fostering, adopting, and the raising of children with disabilities. I believe that success in therapy comes from the creation of a therapeutic alliance between client and therapist.
