I view therapy as a space for you, the client to be unequivocally yourself while recognizing that there are so many internal and interpersonal factors alongside systems in place that may contribute to the pain, anxiety, and discomfort one feels. You are the most important person in your own life, and once you start to care for yourself in healing ways, this can be extended to others who you care for and love. I believe that it is important to walk patiently with every individual and I also believe that it is important to discuss how cultural beliefs and societal roles may influence one’s perception and experiences.

Do you find yourself making the same mistakes over and over in relationships? Do people say you have a "bad picker" when it comes to friends and partners? Sounds like a good place to start in therapy to explore some patterns and where they come from. I specialize in working with people of all genders who are survivors of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, including religious trauma. In therapy, I work with people on setting boundaries by learning how to listen to their own needs and trust themselves. I am not credentialed with state insurance plans (Medicaid/Medical Assistance/AHCCCS) or EAPs.

My therapy practice focuses on individual reclamation and collective liberation in ways that honor what you've survived, the season you're in and the direction you want to move towards. I don't believe any one of us is inherently broken or irredeemable, and hope we all encounter ways to care more deeply for ourselves and others, practice reparative accountability and embody more fully our stories and identities. Areas I'm passionate about supporting include complex trauma/PTSD, insecure attachment, sexuality, gender identity, relationships, consent, boundaries, systemic harm and religious abuse.

We all experience trauma and severe life stressors' that leave us feeling stuck and hopeless. Your crisis may be depression, relationship issues, anxiety, chronic illness, sport performance or something that is so overwhelming you are struggling with life. Often time we hold ourselves in bondage to the choices we have made. I believe some of life's most difficult experiences leads us to our greatest growth. I will give you the tools to move forward from past attachments that seem to keep you stagnate in your life.

Hi there! :) I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is vital to the growth and healing process. I began this journey because of my love for people and a desire to provide others with compassionate, authentic connection to heal and grow into the version of themselves that has a full toolbox of skills, self-understanding to start to heal past trauma, and tackle current and future stress life can bring. I believe that everyone is inherently worthy and capable of good and healing, and I build a therapeutic foundation of trust on this belief.

You find yourself trapped in a maze of relentless thoughts, where every turn leads to the same dead end. "Why can't I just get out of my own head?" you wonder. Conversations with your partner feel like navigating a minefield, and those past traumas? They've set up camp in your mind and body. Despite trying talk therapy, you still feel stuck, anxious, and sometimes, hopeless. The shadows of depression and anxiety loom large. You may be yearning for genuine change and a way to break free from these burdens, but are unsure of the next step.

Therapy can be weird. It can be uncomfortable to open up to a stranger about your thoughts, feelings, traumatic memories, and expose the aspects of you that are unhealthy. Therapy can also be a space where you allow yourself to be fully known, fully valued, and more clearly understood. My goal is to create an environment where you can more fully understand yourself, accept yourself, and allow yourself to grow in order to live an exciting and fulfilling life. I most often work with people who have experienced complex trauma, and struggle with addictive or out-of-control patterns as a result.
