Great to meet you!

I'm Dean, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with clinical experience across a variety mental health, substance use, and related behaviors. I'm based near Sedona and offer telehealth sessions, making it easy to connect from wherever you are in the state. I'm currently welcoming new clients who are ready to start working toward their mental health goals in a flexible, low-pressure setting.

My approach to therapy

My background is rooted in practical, evidence-based care — I've spent years working in structured clinical environments where outcomes matter. I bring that same intentionality into my private practice work, while creating space for the deeper, individualized conversation that helps people feel genuinely understood. I believe therapy works best when it's shaped around you — your goals, your pace, and your life.

What you can expect from me

If it feels like a good fit, our first full session will be a relaxed conversation where I invite you to share what's bringing you in and what you're hoping to get out of our work together. No pressure — we go at whatever pace feels right for you.
