I believe in the significance of aligning the mind and body and find that awareness of our somatic experiencing and parts (IFS) to be incredibly helpful in increasing feelings of connection, self-compassion and trust in Self.

Hello there! I am available to all of Arizona via Telehealth (video). As a licensed clinical psychologist I offer a compassionate, empirically supported therapeutic approach that centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I am available to address many concerns, including anxiety, worry, trauma, stress, sadness, grief, adjustment difficulties, behavioral problems, relationship difficulties, sleep and sex.

I help clients find better ways of dealing with stress and anxiety as well as internal conflict and strained relationships.

As we journey through life, many factors blend to form who we are today. When we experience hurts, abuses, traumatic events, or unhealthy relationships we learn to find survival mechanisms that served their purpose at the time but are no longer effective in the present. I use a client-centered approach tailored to meet your individual needs to find the best path to healing. I chose counseling as a career because I have had a life-long passion for helping people.

I offer a caring and non-judgmental approach to therapy designed to help you increase your capacity to greet your life with flexibility, compassion, and curiosity.
