Female Therapists in Gilbert, AZ
In my work as a therapist I bring not only experience but also cutting edge counseling techniques to my practice. I believe that there can be no more important life decision than making the choice to heal and leave behind unhealthy patterns. To help my clients reach those goals, I consider each individual uniquely and work to see each situation holistically. By working closely with each person and choosing the proper changes needed to achieve a positive outcome, we are able to move forward and devise a creative and distinctive plan. I create a supportive and safe environment where my clients can learn and grow.

Some of my favorite words come from Brene Brown when she said, "Empathy has no script. There is no right or wrong way to do it. It is simply listening, holding space, withholding judgement, emotionally connecting and communicating that incredibly healing message of 'You Are Not Alone.' " I am here to provide that space for you while you work to overcome trauma or significant life experiences. It takes courage and vulnerability to begin the therapy process. I consider it a privilege to hear your story and walk alongside you.

Sometimes, life presents us with painful experiences that can leave us feeling overwhelmed. These unresolved and unhealed wounds can hinder our ability to move forward and live an empowered life. In therapy, my goal is to provide you with a safe space to examine and remove unhelpful patterns from your past, and allow for transformational healing to occur. I incorporate what I have learned from my experience as a clinician at multiple residential eating disorder treatment centers as well as a residential PTSD/trauma treatment center.
