Does this sound like you?

You’re the one everyone relies on, but you feel like you're failing at everything.
You keep pushing past the pain, acting like you’re fine, even as the anxiety and nightmares keep you up at night.
You want to reach out, but you’re afraid if you stop moving, everything will finally unravel.
You’ve spent years relying on your faith, but lately, hope feels far away. You’re still doing all the right things, but the spiritual peace you once leaned on has been replaced by a heavy silence.

Who We Help

Trauma-informed therapy and coaching for those who carry strength for everyone else.

You are the dependable one—the helper, the encourager, the steady presence others lean on at home, at work, in leadership, or within your faith community. But carrying that weight day after day can leave you drained, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode.

At Rise and Renew Wellness, we provide a safe place to slow down, process, and heal. We specialize in supporting:

Healthcare Workers & Therapists navigating secondary trauma and professional burnout.
Corporate Professionals, Nonprofit, & Ministry Leaders carrying heavy organizational weight.
Caregivers & Busy Parents who support everyone else while neglecting their own needs.

For clients who desire it, counseling can also integrate a Christian worldview and faith-based practices as part of the healing process. Inspired by Romans 12:2, we are here to help you renew your mind, restore your wellbeing, and move forward with greater clarity, peace, and purpose.

Not sure whether you need clinical counseling or professional coaching? Don’t worry about choosing the wrong track. When you are operating under heavy stress or burnout, it can be hard to know what framework fits best. We will explore your specific goals together during your initial consultation and design the exact path that supports you.

Why Rise and Renew Wellness?

What makes us different

At Rise and Renew Wellness, you're not just another appointment- you are a person deeply seen, heard, and supported on your unique healing journey. We walk alongside you with compassion and expertise to help you reclaim peace, purpose, and renewal.

Clinical Expertise: You don’t need more "to-do" lists; you need deep restoration. We move beyond traditional talk therapy by using EMDR and CBT to target the root of trauma and anxiety in both the mind and the nervous system, providing the relief that willpower alone cannot achieve.
Convenience That Respects Your Schedule: As a busy professional or parent, your time is your most valuable asset. Our secure online counseling platform eliminates the commute to an office, allowing you to prioritize your mental health from the privacy of your home or office during a time frame that actually works for your life. While we primarily meet virtually across Arizona, limited in-person sessions are available for those who prefer an office setting in Glendale.
A Truly Integrated Perspective: We use a holistic approach at Rise and Renew Wellness: mind, body and Spirit. You won't have to explain your values or "edit" your faith here.

How We Help

Individual Counseling

Counseling and therapy for renewal and emotional healing.

Counseling is a safe space to uncover, process, and heal the past, giving you the clarity and proven tools needed to manage emotions and build a solid foundation for peace. Areas of specialty in mental health counseling include anxiety, depression, and trauma recovery.

EMDR Intensives

Empowering high-capacity adults, busy professionals, and individuals seeking deep, accelerated healing through expert EMDR intensives.

Condense months of traditional trauma work into dedicated 4-hour or multi-day blocks in our EMDR Intensives. Perfect for busy professionals, single-event trauma, or breaking through persistent therapeutic plateaus without weekly calendar conflicts.

Coaching

Rise into your purpose with coaching.

Focused entirely on the present and future, coaching provides the action plan and accountability you need to rise into your personal or professional potential. We specialize in life coaching, financial coaching, executive leadership coaching, and faith-based coaching to help you achieve your goals. Coaching services include standard sessions, extended sessions, and intensives.

Christian Therapy

Walk in faith, live out your purpose.

Christian therapy recognizes that you are a whole person—mind, body, and spirit—created for connection and purpose. It is the process of using clinical wisdom to heal the heart while grounding your identity in God’s unwavering love and grace.
