I’m an Associate Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider. I believe that most mental health symptoms are your brain’s way of protecting you. At some point, you developed strategies to cope with overwhelming, stressful, or painful experiences. Those strategies helped you survive, but sometimes they stay long after they’re needed, and they begin to cause more harm than good. Therapy offers the opportunity to explore which patterns are still serving you and which ones are ready to be released.
I approach therapy as something the client and therapist create together, where curiosity, attunement, and presence guide the work. I notice emotional shifts, patterns, and the unspoken messages that the body is carrying beneath the surface. At times, I may be gentle or reflective; at others, I’m more straightforward or irreverent, all to help clients reconnect with their own insight, resilience, and true self.
I’m passionate about working with adults and couples and welcome clients from all walks of life. I often work with people navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, disordered eating, relationship distress, life transitions, and the complexities of parenting. I believe therapy is not just about treating symptoms. It is about creating space to hear your own voice, build self-trust, and experience the healing power of honest and compassionate connection.
I’m trained in EMDR I and II and have completed the requirements for EMDR certification through an EMDRIA-approved organization. I hold an Individual Clinical Trauma Specialist certification from the Arizona Trauma Institute. I am also trained in Relational Life Therapy Level I and Levels I and II of the Gottman Method. My approach integrates Internal Family Systems Therapy, Emotion-Focused Individual Therapy, and somatic tools that support nervous system regulation and emotional healing.
