Counseling Services
I provide adolescent, adult and couples counseling. My counseling style is a person-centered approach (PCA). The PCA is grounded in the assumption that people already have within them the capacity and ability to create solutions to their own challenges; when people are able to participate in a self-directed, non-judgmental, empathic, and genuine therapeutic relationship, their abilities to find solutions can be enhanced. People participate with me in person-centered and cognitive-behavioral counseling, EMDR and hypnosis. These types of counseling are effective in helping people develop solutions to a variety of emotional and behavioral challenges. 
Mark Rubin, MD, an Arizona board certified child/adolescent and adult psychiatrist, and I share an office and work in collaboration with clients who also want to meet with a psychiatrist about medical options for their psychiatric experiences. 

Education
My masters degree is in social work (MSW) and I am an Arizona Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).
