Waitlist for new clients
I offer therapy sessions in-person and telehealth.
I help individuals and couples feel more connected, grounded, and secure in themselves and their relationships. Using trauma-focused, experiential therapy, I guide clients in understanding and processing core emotions, calming their nervous systems, and healing the impact of past experiences. Healing happens at the right pace for each person; I meet clients where they are and guide them at a pace that feels right for them. I especially enjoy working with curious, thoughtful people who want to go beyond insight alone— towards exploring, not just explaining, the deeper roots, so they can respond to life from the present, not the past.

In-person at my office in Gold Canyon and via telehealth anywhere in Arizona.
Powerful changes can happen in people's lives much faster than they think. I practice Solution-Focused Therapy: I help you see the deepest strengths you have, the things that helped you make it this far. We use your joyful experiences, your best skills, your quirks, and your deepest motivations to help you overcome the challenges you face now. It's simple, positive, and fast. You don't have to learn any new jargon. We won't dwell too long on what you think might be wrong with you. Quite the opposite. I'm more interested in learning what you were doing in the moments you believed there was something right with you. That's the target.

Gold Canyon, AZ 85118
I offer therapy Sunday through Wednesday, with in-person and virtual options available.
Healing can feel messy and overwhelming—but you don’t have to make sense of it alone. I work with individuals, couples, and families who feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. Together, we’ll slow things down, explore what’s beneath the surface, and identify patterns shaping your experiences while building on your strengths. I will meet you with compassion while also gently challenging patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Therapy with me is not about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you feel more connected, more aware, and more in control of your choices.

With weekday and evening availability for in-person and telehealth sessions, starting is more accessible than you might think.
There's something particular about the weight that women carry, not just the hard events themselves, but the expectation to keep going, keep giving, keep managing… I work with women, individuals, and couples who are exhausted from doing exactly that, and who are ready for a space where their story finally gets the full attention it deserves. I specialize in trauma, depression, women's issues, and relationship healing. Using EMDR, CBT, and DBT, we'll work on processing what's underneath (not just managing symptoms!), so the growth you make in sessions actually changes how you feel in your daily life.

Anxiety can be overwhelming. It can show up quietly in the background or suddenly without warning. Many people experience it as racing thoughts, physical tension, fear of judgment, or a sense of being constantly on alert. For others, it may look like avoidance, relationship conflict, emotional shutdown, or a pattern of feeling “not good enough” no matter how hard they try. In our work together, we will explore these experiences with curiosity rather than criticism. I believe that anxiety is not a personal failure—it is a learned response to stress, fear, or past experiences. With the right tools it is absolutely treatable.

In-person sessions are always best, Telehealth available too.
Therapy is an investment. It takes courage, vulnerability, and a commitment to doing something hard to build a better version of yourself. Humans are complicated. Mental health must include our whole being. Medications are not a cure, we need something real and lasting. The goal here is to become the best version of ourselves possible. The mind-body connection is everything, so this starts with examining the thinking behind our actions & where the thinking began. Then we change it & we rewrite your story the way it should have been told, without the trauma. You finally become the version of yourself that you were meant to be.

I offer telehealth afternoon and evening appointments with some limited in person sessions.
Healing is messy, and it’s also beautiful! You may feel stuck in a cycle that’s painful and no longer serves you, or you have a desire to look further inward. No matter the reason that brought you, I am glad you are here. It is 100% okay to ask for help, no matter what people have told you. Challenges are inevitable in life and are often a cue to action. When challenges go unresolved or unaddressed, they may get in the way of how you feel about yourself. The good news is there are many things you can learn and unlearn about yourself and the world you live in. I will support you through that learning and healing process.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.

When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.

How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
