We all seek peace, happiness, love, and belonging. My passion is helping people connect in healthy ways and healing wounds that keep us stuck in old behaviors.

I’m a transpersonal therapist and coach who provides counseling for anxiety, symptoms of trauma, ADHD, career decision making, or any struggle in life. When you’re frustrated because you’ve been unable to resolve your problems, you are wise to seek the help of a skilled therapist. If you feel stuck, discouraged, lost and alone, through counseling, I can help you make the changes you desire while nourishing your mind, body, and soul. Your life can be easier, calmer, and more rewarding. I’ll help you clarify and live more by your values so you can achieve a greater sense of purpose and spiritual fulfillment.

Are you feeling overwhelmed right now? If you are dealing with anxiety, depression, or burnout right now, know that you are not alone. You have probably been struggling for quite some time and have finally decided to take the courageous (and I’m sure anxiety provoking…that’s perfectly normal) step to reach out for help. All of us get to that point where we need someone to come alongside us to help us feel better. I can provide therapy from a Christian perspective for those that want this. Faith can be a big part of the healing journey and I can incorporate this into your therapy experience if you would like.

We offer telehealth services across the state of Arizona that includes video sessions which have proven to be just as effective as in-person therapy. Telehealth is perfect for busy professionals who struggle to find the time to care for themselves. Our counselors combine cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach, and many other eclectic approaches to individual care. We do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach and strive to meet the needs of our clients and the struggles at hand.

In my experience, the only constant in life is change, whether it be a job, a living situation, a move, a relationship, the death of a loved one, trauma, or countless other changes we encounter and create. Change, even a desire for change, can often feel overwhelming when we do not know what action to take or if we should take any action at all. My focus is on helping my individual, couple, and family clients feel empowered to handle the challenges they face leading up to, during, and following life changes. I will listen without judgement and offer support and compassion as clients do the courageous work of leaning into change.

Are you ready for a change? Have you been banging your head against a wall trying to figure out what went wrong? Do you keep getting in your own way? Do you wonder why you can't seem to shake off years of shame, self-doubt, and fear? Maybe it's time for a different approach. Maybe YOU are not the problem. It's time to drop the struggle to "fix" yourself and reconnect with the you that is already whole and complete. How would your life be different if you were good enough? Who do you want to be?

Sometimes it can be hard to trust others. Other times you may feel constantly on edge, waiting for something to go wrong. This is a normal response to having lived through abnormal situations such as abuse or a violation. You don’t have to suffer in silence or alone.

Sometimes our old patterns and beliefs (arising from earlier unresolved experiences) prevent us from living our present-day life and relationships with the creativity, peace, and joy we desire. Perhaps we are missing one of our best resources, our capacity to listen and respond to our body's story (autonomic nervous system) with compassion and support. When we learn these updated listening skills, our whole being feels more seen, heard, and "welcomed home" by us!
