“I am a psychotherapist based in Scottsdale, AZ. I enjoy helping people through difficult times in their life and helping them rekindle the light within themselves. The approach I take is meeting clients where they're at. I come from a place of compassion and empathy. I believe each person knows themselves better than anyone else. My goal is to hold a safe space for clients and assist them in understanding and accepting themselves and stepping into their own authenticity and power.”

I am a licensed therapist, as well as a certified personal trainer. I enjoy incorporating my background of helping people with physical health, while working on their mental health. All components of health are equally important from exercise and nutrition, to mental health. I am a former athlete and enjoy working with clients going through life transitions.
I utilize therapeutic modalities such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, strengths-based, trauma informed, among others. I have a background in crisis response, and I specialize in working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, familial/relationship difficulties, eating disorders, self-identity, life transitions, & the LGBTQ population.
