Hi, I’m Timothy!
I’m a licensed professional counselor (LPC) located in Scottsdale, Arizona, and am also a National Certified Counselor (NCC), a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP), and a certified EMDR clinician. I received my Master of Education (MEd) in Counseling and Human Development from Lindsey Wilson College. I am also a Certified Reiki Master.

I’ve received advanced training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), as well as training and professional consultation in addressing complex trauma, attachment wounds, and certain personality disorders. I also have experience working with clients with certain types of dissociative disorders such as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder (DP/DR).

I was a flight attendant for 23 years and served as a team member with my airline’s Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) team. I am also a classically trained performing artist and have performed on the stage, in the choir loft, and on camera for over 20 years. I also have experience in teaching acting and in training flight attendants.

I am a firm believer that the therapeutic relationship is a key component of healing. My life, career, and artistic experiences inform my deep passion for helping those who are suffering, and I endeavor to bring healing to every client I see.
