ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Surprise, AZ

People come to therapy carrying many different things. A teenager navigating identity and anxiety. An adult whose depression has become the background noise of daily life. An older adult sitting with grief, transition, and questions about meaning and purpose. I work across all of it — with teens, adults, and older adults — and I bring the same grounded, genuine investment to every person who walks through the door.

What I offer isn't just clinical range, though I have that. It's the perspective that comes from over a decade working across outpatient, intensive outpatient, and inpatient settings, serving as a clinical director, supervising clinicians toward licensure, and training the next generation of therapists at universities across Arizona. That kind of career doesn't just build skill. It builds a clinician who has seen enough to know that the most important thing in the room is never the framework — it's the relationship.

I'm an Arizona native, grounded, down-to-earth, and easy to be around. I value humor and believe lightheartedness has a real place in the therapy room — not as a way of avoiding the hard stuff, but as a reminder that healing doesn't have to feel relentlessly heavy. I work with people navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, co-occurring conditions, and complex life transitions, and I meet all of it with warmth, steadiness, and real clinical depth.

What I'm ultimately working toward with every client is simple: a better relationship with yourself and the people around you. More insight. More purpose. A life that feels more like yours. Whether you're just beginning to understand what you're carrying or you've been at this work for years, I'll help you build from there.

Therapy often begins after years of doing everything you can to keep going, even when daily life has started to feel overwhelming. My work moves past symptom relief, helping each client reconnect with their own minds and bodies, understand what they've carried within, and create something steadier than survival. Healing, I've learned, is something we cultivate together — not something we rush. My approach is evidence-based and attends to the whole person. EMDR is often where I begin with clients whose trauma still reverberates through daily life — in their relationships, their nervous system, and the patterns that don't respond to insight alone. I draw on DBT and mindfulness to build practical skills for emotional steadiness, and I'm especially passionate about helping clients understand the why behind what they feel. Knowledge, I believe, turns confusion into clarity and shame into self-compassion. When clients want to bring their spirituality into the room, I welcome it without agenda. Faith and a sense of something larger than ourselves can be powerful tools for self-discovery, and I honor all belief systems with genuine respect.

My style is warm, direct, and transparent. I work with people navigating ADHD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, depression, and the persistent effects of trauma — helping them slow down, find steadiness, and reconnect with themselves at a level that actually shifts things. Clients often describe me as real — someone who brings equal parts expertise and humanity into the room. I especially love working with women, teens, and neurodivergent adults learning to see their sensitivity and intensity as strengths rather than shortcomings.

That insight alone can shift the outcome.
