Meet Jeff
Jeff brings over 25 years of experience of helping people. He holds a Masters of Divinity in Leadership Development and Urban Studies, and a Masters of Science in Marital and Family Therapy. This type of systems training in therapy has prepared Jeff to be able to not only meet with individuals, but also to work with families, couples, and business owners and organizations. Jeff’s training enables him to observe various types of systems, and observe where certain breakdowns or stressors have started to hurt relationships, and enables him to help people and organizations who feel stuck.
Jeff has been trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for healing from various types of traumatic experiences. He also has training in Restoration Therapy for couples and other intimate relationships, an approach that helps couples identify negative interaction cycles and allows them to create new ways to interact that bring peace within the relationship. Jeff also utilizes somatic experiencing interventions to help integrate the brain-body connection as well as Internal Family Systems to help his clients get to know themselves and their stories more intimately, so they can move out of shame and find pleasure in themselves and within their relationships again.
Jeff has lived in Phoenix since 1991 and has been married to his wife since 1999. Together they have four children between the ages of 19 and 13.
