Accepting New Clients
Welcome to therapy—it’s NOT as scary as it seems.
I’m Summer, founder of Desert Soulwork Christian Counseling. Whether you are looking to integrate your faith into your healing journey or prefer a strictly clinical approach, I provide a space where your values are respected. I believe in empowering minds and inspiring hearts through practical, real-world solutions.
As an Arizona-based virtual therapist, I provide specialized trauma-informed and evidence-based care for adults, marriage counseling, and culturally competent support for first responders facing burnout. From the unique stressors of frontline work to the complexities of relationship conflict, I help you make sense of the struggle.
If you are grappling with:
First Responder Burnout & Trauma
Anxiety & Depression
Relationship Issues & Communication
Addiction Recovery
Faith-Based Crisis or Spiritual Growth
My style is casual, honest, and to the point-no fluff, no nonsense, just results. While I provide a compassionate space, I also believe you need more than just "positive vibes" to see meaningful change. I utilize evidence-based techniques, including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): To reframe unhelpful thought patterns.
Solution-Focused Therapy: To find a direct path out of the "mess."
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy): To help you live a value-driven life.
DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy): To build skills for distress tolerance and emotional regulation.
Squeezing therapy into a busy shift or a hectic family schedule shouldn't require a miracle. I offer virtual counseling sessions with morning and lunch-hour appointments available.
Ditch the commute and the awkward waiting room. Whether you’re on your couch or in your car, we can connect securely across the state—from Phoenix and Flagstaff to Tucson and Yuma. Prioritizing your mental health is finally convenient.
Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or stuck in a cycle you can't break? If you're nodding your head "yes," it’s a clear sign that therapy can help. Whether you're law enforcement or military personnel dealing with the weight of the job, a couple struggling to connect, or feel like you've simply run out of ideas on how to fix things—I've got you covered. My goal is to inspire your heart with hope and empower your mind with the clinical insights, tools, and skills necessary to shift from "stuck" to meaningful change. You don't have to have all the answers; you just have to be ready to find them.
Taking the first step toward change can be hard. Whether you are navigating life’s challenges alone or feeling overwhelmed by the weight of the world, it is common to feel stuck. That is precisely why faith-based counseling and clinical therapy are so transformative.
At Desert Soulwork Christian Counseling, I'm dedicated to empowering minds and inspiring hearts across all corners of Arizona. I'm committed to helping you move from a place of helplessness and despair to a path of purpose and fulfillment. Therapy provides the awareness and professional tools you need to build lasting solutions from the unique, God-given strengths you already possess.
Whether you are seeking anxiety relief, marriage support, or first responder trauma therapy, I will guide you toward healing and resolve when challenges seem insurmountable. Let’s work together to turn your wellness aspirations into a reality through evidence-based telehealth therapy.
