Meet Venessa- EMDR Brainspotting & IFS Therapist in AZ

Let’s transform your life so you can move from surviving to truly living .

You are trying to do it all…

from parenting, to keeping up with a career & trying to maintain your relationships, you are running on fumes each and every day. Overwhelmed and exhausted you are looking for a way to take care of yourself but it does not seem to be working,

Just as one task gets checked off the list, 3 more get added on and the struggle continues. This leaved you wanting more for your life.

This is the space to rediscover a life that makes you feel excited without having to figure it all out alone.

I work with clients who are:

juggling multiple roles (i.e- parenting, career, caregiving, relationships) and struggling to find the work-life balance that everyone else seems to have.

During our time together we will work to understand how our past experience have affected our present.

Next, we will take a look and see how you can make changes so that you become the author of your future.

This is a judgment free zone where you can show up as you are and embrace it fully while also wanting to make changes.

The goal is for you to feel supported, heard and validated as you reclaim your story. Life can often feel lonely and here, you will no longer have to do it all alone.

I am honored to be here with you on this journey.

MY APPROACH

Therapy with me is:

  • I need your knowledge and you need mine. We will work together to create the life you have been waiting to live.

  • I will challenge you in this process but I will do it knowing that this work is not easy, and that compassion is what is needed the most when facing the work ahead.

  • This is a space where you can be authentically you. Say what you need. Drop an f bomb or many. Tell funny jokes. And know that you are worthy as you are. You can trust that I will do the same.

  • The modalities that I am trained in are all evidenced-based practices. This means that they have been researched and have seen great results.

  • I have been in this field for over 17 year and I know that I have the skills to help you meet your goals. You will receive a plan that is tailored just for you and your needs so that you are seeing improvements in your life.

You matter. Your story matters. Are you ready to start living it?

Here is something that I want you to know… You are NOT alone.

We have been bombarded with messages that tell us who we should be and how to be it. And if we aren’t living up to those expectations then somehow we are failing at life.

I am here to tell you, that is a bold face lie! You do not have to keep living a life dictated by the worlds expectations. You can build and live a life on your own terms.

I get that it can be hard to take this step. The never ending to-do list keeps calling your name. I am here to tell you as someone who has been your shoes, that putting yourself on the list, is the most important way to show up in all of the spaces in your life.

My training and experience have given me the tools to help you deconstruct the old messages and patterns you have lived buy for so long so you can create new ones.

I am so happy you are here!
