Individual Therapy in Phoenix, AZ
A supportive space to explore emotions, make sense of your thoughts, and gently process experiences you don’t have to carry on your own.
Whether you’re working through trauma, attachment issues, identity questions, anxiety, or a season of transition, we walk with you at your pace. Available in-person in Phoenix, and online throughout Arizona
How I Can Help
At Philoxenia, each service is built around collaboration, emotional safety, and evidence-based care. Wherever life has led you, you can show up here and be met with understanding, empathy, and respect.
Anxiety
When worry, fear, or overwhelm begin to shape your days, anxiety can make even ordinary moments feel unsafe. Therapy offers a steady place to understand what your nervous system is holding, restore a sense of grounding, and build tools for feeling more present and secure.
Depression
Depression can feel like emotional heaviness, numbness, or a quiet disconnection from yourself and the world around you. Together, we create space to explore what’s underneath the weight, gently reconnect with your inner life, and move toward relief at a pace that feels supportive.
PTSD & C-PTSD
Trauma can linger in the body and nervous system long after the event has passed. PTSD and Complex PTSD often show up as hypervigilance, emotional shutdown, or feeling stuck in survival mode. Trauma-informed therapy helps restore safety, process what was overwhelming, and support healing that honors your experiences.
Relationship Abuse
Abusive or controlling relationships can leave deep emotional wounds, confusion, and self-doubt. Therapy provides a safe, validating space to name what happened, rebuild trust in yourself, and begin reclaiming your sense of agency, boundaries, and worth.
Childhood Abuse
Experiences of abuse in childhood can echo into adulthood, affecting safety, trust, and emotional regulation. Trauma-informed care honors the impact of these early wounds while supporting healing, resilience, and reconnection to your inner sense of safety and worth.
Faith-Integration Counseling
Approach mental and emotional distress through a blend of psychology and Christian faith — always based on your comfort level and at your invitation.
Attachment Distress
When early or relational wounds impact how you connect with others, relationships may feel unsafe, unstable, or emotionally intense. Attachment-focused therapy helps you understand your patterns, heal relational injuries, and move toward more secure, satisfying connections.
Life Transitions
Major changes — whether expected or unexpected — can unsettle your sense of identity and direction. Therapy offers support during seasons of transition, helping you process loss, uncertainty, and growth while staying connected to yourself through change.
Low Self-Esteem
Chronic self-criticism or shame can shape how you see yourself and relate to others. Therapy creates space to explore where these beliefs began, challenge harmful narratives, and cultivate a more compassionate, grounded relationship with yourself.
What to Expect
Sessions are held in a comfortable, confidential space—either at my Phoenix office or through secure telehealth anywhere in Arizona. Individual therapy runs 60 minutes,.
Each session may look different, but will work towards our collaborative goals. Some days that might mean processing a hard memory through EMDR, other times we will be exploring patterns in your relationships or sitting with emotions that need space to be felt. The work moves at your pace, shaped by what you're ready for and what your healing requires.

Confidentiality is sacred. What you share stays between us, protected by HIPAA and ethical guidelines. Your privacy matters deeply.
Cancellations require 24 hours' notice. Life happens, and I understand. If you need to reschedule, just let me know at least a day ahead to avoid the full session charge. Emergencies and illness are always handled with grace.
Telehealth works. Virtual sessions are secure, private, and just as effective as meeting in person. Many clients appreciate the flexibility, especially during tough weeks.
Come as you are. There's no need to prepare notes or have your thoughts perfectly organized. Therapy meets you exactly where you are each session.
Scope of practice: I work with anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, spiritual abuse, faith transitions, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I don't currently see clients in active crisis, active addiction, or those needing specialized treatment for OCD, Bipolar Disorder, or Borderline Personality Disorder—but I'm happy to help connect you with appropriate resources.
My signature process
I offer individual therapy at $175 per hour, using an emotion-focused approach integrated with EMDR for trauma processing. Moving forward is as simple as one, two, three—and each step is intentionally designed to honor your story and bring you closer to the healing you're seeking.
01
connect
Our first three sessions are about building the trust that makes real therapy possible. I take time to understand you holistically—your emotional world, attachment patterns, window of tolerance, and how your past may be showing up in your present. I'll thoughtfully screen for anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and explore early life experiences. This foundation isn't rushed—I want you to feel truly seen and safe.
02
planning
Together, we'll design your personalized treatment plan. This isn't something I hand to you—it's something we create collaboratively. Drawing from evidence-based approaches, we'll identify realistic milestones that honor your pace and your life. Your plan is entirely individualized, shaped by your unique needs, strengths, and vision for yourself. You'll always know where we're headed and why it matters.
03
heal
This is where the deep work unfolds. We'll expand your window of tolerance, deepen your understanding of your emotional experience, and when trauma is present, process it through EMDR. The goal is genuine, lasting healing—the kind that leads to self-understanding, acceptance, and freedom to live more fully. Every session builds intentionally on the one before, bringing you closer to your goals.
