When we're under too much daily stress or have experienced major life changes and loss, it's not uncommon to feel anxious, overwhelmed and irritable. Our usual ways of coping may no longer work and "relief" may be short-lived. As a solution-focused therapist, I help people gain practical tools to navigate stress and uncertainty, while gaining a deeper, more compassionate understanding of themselves. In therapy we can focus on the past or present (or worries about the future), develop strategies to cope, empower and heal, so you can live the life you truly deserve.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over two decades of behavioral health experience, I am committed to support your healing journey, emotional wellness, and relationship issues. My specialty and focus includes trauma, loss, mood stability, relationships, and transitions. I am committed to creating a gentle, safe, and supportive space for healing during life's vulnerable and difficult circumstances.

I believe a person is not defined by a diagnosis, behavior, interpersonal conflict, or psychological trauma. However, I understand the influence they can have on our lives. As Dr. Gabor Mate states, "What we call the personality is often a jumble of genuine traits and adopted coping styles that do not reflect our true self at all but the loss of it." Through compassionate inquiry, I strive to assist individuals in understanding how our emotional well-being and social connectivity are intimately intertwined with addictions, health, and disease.

As an experienced licensed social worker, I am committed to helping you feel better and support you on a path to self-care and healing.

I recognize that each individual has their own set of needs, and I will partner with you on your own journey to mental health and wellness. I will guide you to work through past traumas with compassion.

My therapeutic approach, developed over 27 years, is for someone who struggles being stuck but is tired of past failures, events, etc., and feels like they really want to fix the problems in their individual life and/or in their relationships. Emotionally Focused Therapy training allows for a deep resolution to individual, couple and family issues. I am one of 8 EFT Therapist/Supervisors in the state of Arizona. I am passionate about helping people resolve the ROOT of their issues not only the symptoms. EFT is incredible at really resolving relationship challenges like affairs, children challenges, and just being disconnected.

I believe my life purpose is to “bring light” to those in dark spaces. I know what it is like to be on the edge- in a dark space- and how difficult it may feel to “climb out of the cave”. I genuinely believe every person can lead a life worth living regardless of their circumstances and the pain they have experienced. As a therapist, it is my hope & desire to bring light to all my clients and guide them to a place where they find their own light. I have had the pleasure of working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, self-esteem/self-worth issues and destructive behaviors such as self-harm.
