Hi There. Nice to meet you. I'm a LMFT. I have been practicing therapy in the Southern Arizona region since 2011. I have received specialized training focusing on relationships, family, and children. I have 17 years of community mental health experience, 10 of which includes providing individual, couples, family, and group therapy. I have had the privilege of learning from and working with a diverse range of populations; from the underserved to commercially insured individuals.

The decision to begin therapy is the first step towards healing and oftentimes a difficult one to make. I am here to help couples, families, and individuals find their own path towards healing and connection. I understand how different stressors can impact relationships at different stages of life and aim to provide effective strategies to help you navigate through them. I am passionate about working with couples and utilize Gottman and EFT. Together we can work together to create open and honest communication.

I have more than 20 years of experience helping individuals, couples and families overcome life's hurdles and feel fulfilled. I have a passion for helping individuals overcome PTSD, CPTSD, developmental, religious and other specific trauma. I have experience working with neurodivergent individuals, borderline, narcissistic and anti-social personalities, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, OCD, phobias, eating disorders, addiction, disassociation and chronic pain.

You blew up at your partner again last night! You promised yourself you wouldn't let your anger take over AGAIN, it did. Feelings of guilt and shame fill your body as you see your partner turn away from you. After countless conversations with them you set intentions to make yourself STOP Yesterday, you felt the tension and anger rising; you even thought "push it down". The extra puff and drink after work, the remedy to ease it away, didn't work. This pattern is disturbing, but not as disturbing as the anxiety and depression you try to keep at bay. You know life would be better if you haven't found a way to do that.

We have the ability to nurture ourselves and be nurtured in our relationships. My goal is to be intentional about creating a space that feels safe for you to explore the areas that are most meaningful to you—as an individual or as a couple. I strive to be culturally-affirming which means I want to honor your cultural strengths and acknowledge impacts of trauma and injustice. Your perspective is unique, and how you view your system and current challenges will be met with respect and care.

As a queer, person of color, I believe in creating a non-judgmental and culturally sensitive space to assist clients in creating a life that they love. Due to the pandemic, many of us have had more time for reflection than we might have had in the past. Maybe this time of reflection has caused you to question your identity, gender or sexuality. Exploring and integrating your gender or sexuality can feel overwhelming, especially in a world that can be hostile to LGBT/Queer people, but you do not have to do it alone. Seeking help takes courage. You are courageous.

As a marriage and family therapist, my focus is relationships and attachment. For those healing from a relationship injury (affairs or other hurtful events), I follow a structured process to repair, understand, and re-envision the future. The stresses of life can create disconnection with your loved one(s). I help couples, families, and individuals learn their relationship patterns and practice communication skills. Some of this stress appears in conflicts about mental load/invisible labor in which I help couples anticipate and interrupt their negative cycles. Another focus of my work is sexual wellness and all that it encompasses.

Life can be so challenging. Stress builds up and we get stuck in dysfunctional behavioral patterns and negative thought loops. Relationships are sometimes hard work, and we find ourselves going round & round with our partner, child or parent—feeling unheard, misunderstood, frustrated and disconnected. Often our reactions to present day stressors stem from early life experiences or unresolved trauma. Healing happens in the presence of someone who sees us and accepts us just as we are; and can help us process emotions like anxiety, despair, anger, shame, grief, and longing. This leads to greater self-understanding and self-compassion.

We all are given a life to live and wish for it to be without challenges and obstacles, and yet sometimes unpleasant events can happen unexpectedly that could change our world upside down. I want you to know that no life events are trivial and that your story deserves respect and a safe space to be seen, heard, and understood. I believe that the most effective treatment is found in a strong therapeutic relationship, in which I focus on building safety, trust, and honesty with my clients.

People have an unlimited capacity for growth and change. People come to therapy for a wide range of reasons. My role as a therapist is to assist you in working towards your goals by offering support, validation, as well as practical tools that will assist you in working towards achieving those goals. Most of my training and experience has been in working with individuals who have experienced trauma. What I have learned in each of the practice settings that I have worked in is that each person is unique and requires a slightly different approach. I will routinely check in with you and shift our focus if needed in therapy.
