I focus on adults of different ages and diverse backgrounds drawing on CBT, ACT, and DBT skills to help change situational perspectives.
I am a firm believer that our present self is shaped by the traumas and negative experiences we’ve survived. In therapy, we open wounds that have been bandaged up over time. Opening up these wounds causes us to feel vulnerable, which is why it is important to me that my clients have a safe place to work through these difficult times.

I work with adolescents and adults age 15 and up and offer individual, couples, family, and parenting help.
Throughout our life journey we are met with numerous personal, family, and relationship challenges. Finding someone in whom we can trust during our most vulnerable life struggles can be particularly challenging. When we become overwhelmed by adversity we can begin to feel discouraged, alone, and hopeless. Often by the time we reach out for professional help we may have reached a point of despair. Sometimes negative choices we have made, or the abusive behavior of others, has placed us at risk for harm. In our most challenging moments we want someone who is there to listen from a place of compassion and non-judgment.

There is light at the end of the tunnel. Often it is hard to see. Sometimes the issues we are dealing with can feel like they are crushing us. The cycle of depression and anxiety might feel never-ending. It can get better! These issues could stem from traumatic life events. Perhaps we are just overwhelmed juggling work, life, and family, and have lost sight of ourselves. Sometimes we struggle to work things out. We all need a little help and guidance at times. I use an integrative approach to assist clients in navigating difficult periods in their lives. I work with adults 18 years and older.

I see therapy as a healing conversation that provides clients with a safe, non-judgmental place to express their challenges, and helps them to rediscover their strengths, talents and resources. My intention is to create a collaborative partnership to support my clients in finding solutions that are consistent with their values and beliefs. Whatever it is that brings you to counseling, together we can overcome self-doubt and obstacles to create the healthiest version of yourself.

I find that often the ways learned to survive the difficult times, later get in our way as we try to move forward and create new fulfilling lives for ourselves as adults.
"Working with trauma is as much about remembering how we survived as it is about what is broken." These words were written by Bessel van der Kolk and are words that guide my practice as a therapist. We all face hard stuff in life, and for each person what that looks like differs and cannot be held up to others for comparison. Pain is Pain. The good news, however, is that also means that hope is hope and joy is joy. The hard events we face in our lives are teachers that give each of us an opportunity to face our fears head on and heal to fully embrace who we were always meant to become!

Fun Fact! Did you know that if you look in the mirror and say the phrase “I’m struggling with my mental health” three times, a person in a Live, Laugh, Love sweatshirt appears behind you and asks if you have tried taking a walk? Unfortunately, this is how many people respond to mental health struggles. Themes such as grief, anxiety, and depression can affect our lives in a way that require a professional level of compassion, understanding, and empowerment. It is my mission to provide every person with the ability to navigate life’s challenges with efficacy and confidence.

Hi! I am a Clinical Psychologist offering therapy services to women in Arizona, California, and all participating PsyPact States. I offer support during transitions related to early career, relationships/family, pregnancy/postpartum, and early parenthood years. Many clients report experiencing increased stress or uncertainty during these transitions, and may describe periods of low mood, worry/nervousness, sleep problems, irritability, guilt, or grief/loss. Clients may also struggle with perfectionism or feel overwhelmed or burned out by managing career pressures and caretaking/parenting roles.
