Life is like a roller coaster, constantly surprising us with twists and turns. Sometimes they provoke happy reactions, and other times it feels as though we have had the wind knocked out of us. Grief counseling is something that is near and dear to my heart. I have done grief counseling with clients ranging from the ages of 18-60. I work to provide a safe environment for clients to begin processing some very difficult and traumatic events in their life. I work towards the goal of creating an atmosphere of comfort for my client based on trust, empathy, and understanding.

I have a passion for working with the LGBTQ+ community and providing empathetic and affirming care. I understand that a queer identity adds another layer of challenge to an already challenging world, further contributing to the effects of stress and trauma. Don't hesitate to reach out if you want to build resilience and shed the burdens of your past, without having to explain or justify your identity.

As a social worker, my focus is on the "big picture" — including environment, past experiences, and future expectations. I assist clients in coping with life transitions, managing anxiety, depression, attention deficit, sleeplessness, chronic health conditions, caregiver role strain, or accommodating a traumatic loss. We can help you find more fulfilling work and relationships. I am licensed and provide tele-visits to anyone in Arizona and Oregon. I sometimes offer in-person appointments if desired.

When we are hurting — whether it be from trauma, romantic heartbreak, a new physical illness, or longstanding feelings of self-doubt and worry — we can feel overwhelmed, disempowered and lost. The world isn't always easy on us and being human is hard! When it gets to be too much, having a dedicated therapeutic space to experience acceptance, nurturing, and emotional safety can bring deep feelings of relief. From that relieved place and through our work together, you'll rediscover your strong connection to yourself, creating space for possibility and transformation.

Do you daydream of being able to press pause on life to rest, catch up on sleep, not think? These days, almost every day feels next-level hard. You know your job or chronic health conditions are affecting your mental health and let’s face it, a lot of other parts of your life (your relationships, hobbies, sleep). You have been in cycles of hoping things will change, but after finding yourself stuck in the same cycles of overdoing and trying to figure things out on your own, you’re realizing you’re done and over it (cue rage quitting fantasy).

Do you want to make meaningful change but don’t know where to start? Change can be scary. Maybe it feels hard to get motivated. You might feel disconnected from yourself, or like you can’t do the things you once could. It might even feel like a part of you is staring to work against you. We will work together to honor all of you to support holistic healing. In our sessions, we will create a sacred and healing space for you to bring and express all of you. Creative expression (art, music, etc) invited and encouraged. In this space, I will be empathic, empowering, and genuine. I strive to be warm, welcoming, and inclusive in my work.

Accepting couples, families and individuals using OHP insurance. Do you want to make a change? Coping skills often developed early on in life and were important to help get you to where you are today. They can arise from a childhood that seems "normal" or one filled with trauma and struggle. Coming to therapy is a step in healing the wounds from the past and working with the struggles of today. I can help you process your lived experience at your pace to help you move forward and make positive changes in your life. I am currently prioritizing couples and families who want to do therapy together.,

Many people come to therapy seeking relief from painful symptoms, relationship issues and self-defeating patterns. They may feel alone and isolated in their suffering. I work to create a safe, respectful and supportive environment that alleviates aloneness and facilitates connection, healing and positive change. My style is relational, warm and forthright. My clients achieve more than just symptom relief -- they also grow in their capacity to feel safe and connected with others, and they experience improved self-esteem and identity.

Finding a therapist can be a difficult task; actually calling one is even harder. When I am struggling with something I find myself irritable, directionless, and without energy (or too much nervous energy) a difficult time to build new relationships. It is my hope that stepping into my office might feel like finding an oasis; a welcoming place where you can put down your burdens, relax, and see what you can unpack or unload. I engage with people with acceptance and curiosity. I find things I like and inspiration in conversations. I am constantly amazed by people’s creativity, perspective, and desire to connect in a personal ways.

I work with people who feel stuck in the same old patterns and want help exploring what they want out of life. I worked in food service for 18 years and am passionate about working with working-class folks looking for stability and safety in their lives. I enjoy working with men; I believe men are socialized to cut themselves off from their emotions, which can lead to disconnection. I have seen how reconnecting with emotions and letting go of shame can help men find meaning and connection. I also enjoy working with first-gen Americans dealing with the stress of discrimination and the pressure of family and societal expectations.
