About
I am not accepting new clients at this time. General info: I am credentialed with Blue Cross/Blue Shield and Aetna. For uninsured clients, I offer sliding fee cash payments based on income. Clients have the option for online or in-person therapy, with masks being required for in-person sessions. My specialty is working with people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, and navigating relationships. I have several years of experience working with people of all genders who are survivors of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, including religious trauma.
My priority is helping people understand their needs and how they can best achieve these in a healthy way. I am a professor of social work at ASU and I'm always learning new things to add to my practice. My favorite modalities are sand tray, EMDR, IFS, DBT, and CBT.
Please feel free to message with questions of anything you're unsure about, and I look forward to meeting you! A note - I do not work with minors (under 18). If you are requesting therapy for another person (18+), I require that the prospective client contact me on their own before I will set an intake, to ensure they are invested in attending therapy.
