I have been a licensed Independent Professional Counselor and an Independent Substance Abuse Counselor in Arizona for 20+ year. I have extensive training and experience in using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), Trauma Informed Care, and Substance Abuse Recovery.

I believe change is hard but it can be done, so never give up.

Yes, it is crazy “out there” and sometimes the “crazy” within makes it difficult to discern where one ends and the other begins. “It’s overwhelming, I don’t know why…It wasn’t always like this.” “I find myself frozen in the middle of it all wondering where I fit in, what’s it all about?” “Why am I here?” “I don’t know who I am.” Let’s talk…using a variety of therapeutic approaches together we can move through and process the events, situations, experiences, etc. that have you immobilized. I believe in treating the whole person and employing different therapeutic modalities based on what aligns with you and your needs.

I believe that all of us have the capacity for meaningful, positive change. But change is hard and most of us benefit by having professional support to work on specific change goals. I am here to provide that support. I have a MA in Educational Counseling and have spent over twenty years as a professional educator and therapist. I became a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2004 and have served on the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners Credentialing Committee and have provided counselor supervision to help grow our profession with exceptional professionals throughout the state.

If you feel overwhelmed, stressed out, hopeless, and full of worry, I am here to help you work through it! My goal is to help you reframe your stressors to help you identify more effective coping skills.
