I have seen great transformation in women and girls with self-esteem issues. This may manifest in codendency, post-traumatic stress, eating disorders, grief, anxiety and depression. I combine Self-Psychology, humor and metaphor, and my love for metaphysics to create new paths for healing and it works. I have clients who have struggled for decades with debilitating thoughts and behaviors who are now free of negative voices and habits that were not serving them. I am also skilled at empowering couples and/or families that are in high conflict and feeling hopeless.

We all experience times when we know things can't stay the same, but we don't know how to make them better. It may be pain, loss, or resentments from the past. Or anxiety about future stressors and uncertainties. Or current struggles that leave us feeling powerless and discouraged. It takes humility to admit that what we're doing isn't working, and it takes courage to try something different. Choosing counseling is choosing to stop waiting for life to get better or waiting for people to change. It's choosing to make the changes we can to change our lives for the better

My philosophy is that of possibility; regardless of the obstacles a person may be faced with, there is almost always a solution. I provide support and guidance to help clients find solutions to life problems and work toward finding effective ways to respond to life challenges. My approach is supportive and collaborative, with a strong interest in building upon individual strengths. Goals are aimed to bring about a feeling of relief, a new perspective, and a set of strategies that promote change along with a sense of holistic well being.

Life can be messy and overwhelming and, oftentimes, we can feel like we’re stuck or drowning in everything we have going on. Therapy can be helpful for those seeking insight and understanding as well as coping skills, strength, growth, and healing. I am passionate about helping clients to be creative in finding solutions to their problems while encouraging understanding and acceptance.

I work with individuals, couples, and families experiencing difficulties whether it be a single event or ongoing concerns. I am honored to sit with my clients as they encounter some of the most difficult times in their lives, and I understand how hard it can be to talk to someone about what's going on. I am committed to providing a secure and comfortable environment throughout therapy. Whether you are struggling with personal issues, relationship concerns, or loneliness, we can work together because you deserve more than to have to do this alone.

I have been working with children and adults in the mental health field for 25 years. I have training in the following evidence based practices: Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Structural Dissociation, EMDR, DBT and Motivational Interviewing. I work with a variety of age groups who are interested in making positive changes and finding peace of mind. I have specialized training in the treatment of trauma and abuse, grief and loss, mood disorders, behavior disorders, women's issues, and parenting. I am a certified clinical trauma professional.

My approach to therapy starts from a person-centered, humanistic perspective. I believe in each individual’s ability to overcome life obstacles and I feel honored have the opportunity to assist in that process. My work primarily utilizes an evidence-based, Cognitive-Behavioral approach to assist clients in changing maladaptive thinking patterns, while finding new ways of being. I focus on remaining present and work by building a strong therapeutic relationship with each client as a foundation for facilitating change and allowing each client to find their own way toward becoming their very best self.

What does your path look like? Let's imagine and create it together as you lead in your journey. Let's explore your emotions and dreams helping you to understand your strengths. I offer an approach that is compassionate, somatic and accepting to each individual allowing space that is non-judgmental, and understanding. I work with all ages, cultures, and backgrounds, families, couples, and individuals, and have a passion for working with those that have experienced addiction in their life or in their family, trauma, grief, crisis, and feeling like you are misunderstood.

I have been a social worker for 18 years with a focus on wellness and developing coping skills and strategies that are sustainable for long term use not only during times of crisis. We will talk about strategies that support ourselves with compassion as well as support our relationships with other people. I focus on strategies that are rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, values-based therapy, and Positive Psychology.

Are you making a big step in relationships like marriage or adding new family members? Are you healing through generational experiences? Are you exploring and blending identities such as race, gender, sexual identity, religion, age, ability? When our identities are not accepted or validated in society, we yearn for deeper expressions and connections that feel congruent. When we are seen, heard and validated in our identities and experiences, we are able to transcend to new possibilities and perspectives.

One of the most courageous things we can do is begin to take steps in understanding our own story. As a therapist, I want to help in guiding families and individuals in finding their ability to overcome life's trials. I stem from a client centered approach emphasizing the importance of a caring and trusting relationship between the therapist and the clients' to help create a healing environment.

My work is fast-paced, to the point, and focused on the issues that cause my clients the most distress. I work with kids, teens, and adults and I use only evidence-based theoretical models that are proven to work through research, such as CBT and DBT. Others describe me as easy to get along with and open up to and I'm hopeful I can meet your expectation when we have the opportunity to connect and work through whatever challenge​ has come your way.

Hope is like a seed planted in a garden. If properly tended the potential for beauty and goodness is vast; if ignored, the seed may grow for a moment only to be choked out by weeds. Hope is also believing that a positive outcome is possible despite the challenges being endured. My approach in therapy is to help reveal hope by providing caring support, clarity, unbiased feedback, new coping skills, new communication skills, and a safe place to sort through the trials you are facing. Initial goals attended to include restoring hope that something will change for the better and earning your trust through being a safe person for you.

Life isn’t easy, but it’s easier if someone believes in you along the way. That’s my philosophy, to partner with you, so you’re not alone with your grief, pain, anxiety, trauma, or shame. I have nearly 25 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, and adults facing situations of hopelessness and helplessness such as divorce, rape, child abuse and neglect, poverty, racism, sexism, bullying, anxiety, depression, and surviving family members with mental illness. I have the greatest respect for my clients, and I view us as equal collaborators on your journey towards balance, health and peace.

Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or seeking personal growth, my goal is to support you in finding greater harmony and wholeness within yourself and your relationships. We are ALL incredibly resilient humans and adapt to our environments; over time, these well-intended parts of us may hinder our growth and sense of peace. I am here to be your ally on the path of self-discovery, healing, and strengthening your relationship with yourself to discover ways of connecting and communicating that are conducive to deep and meaningful relationships.

I am a LCSW providing virtual therapy in AZ, CA and NV. In my work, I believe that the true health and freedom we crave present themselves when we align body, mind and soul and return to the instinctual, intuitive wisdom that exists within us to guide us on our life journey. Through returning to ourselves and the sense of safety, security and love that come with feeling safe and at home in our bodies, we are able to open to life and live fully. Working with me requires a willingness to do hard, deep, but gentle, work.
