Using EMDR, mindfulness, and a warm, affirming approach, I create a supportive space for healing, self-discovery, and growth—always led by your goals and at your pace.
Are you currently or in the past going through a significant life transition; whether that's graduating, starting a new career, experiencing changes in relationships, or questioning your identity? You could be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what's next, and that could often carry self-doubt, anxiety, or the lingering weight of past trauma. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling like they "should" have it all figured out by now, but internally, they're navigating a storm of questions, emotions, and unmet needs. If you are seeking support, connection and tools to help you feel your best, look no further.

You sit on your bed – heart pounding, face flushed, muscles tensed–still seething after the fight you just had with your partner. “This is it,” you tell yourself. “I can’t take anymore.” The arguments are becoming more frequent and hostile by the day. You remember when you loved being together. It’s painful and embarrassing to realize how fractured this once seemingly-unbreakable bond has become. You know that something has to change, but you just do not know how. That is where I can be of help. I am a CACREP-Accredited counselor in Arizona specializing on working with couples and grief.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Arizona with experience in CBT, DBT, mindfulness and trauma-informed therapy.
You may be feeling burned out, lonely, anxious, disconnected, or depressed.

Whether through EMDR, expressive art therapy, CBT, or mindfulness, my approach is adaptable to your needs.
Do you often feel disconnected from yourself or others, or find yourself putting everyone else’s needs before your own? Many people feel overwhelmed balancing relationships, work, family, and self-care. When your needs are pushed aside, it can lead to exhaustion and feeling stuck. You deserve support and practical tools to build a more balanced life. I came to the U.S. at age 12 and understand the challenges of adapting to a new culture and language. As a mother of two, I also understand the complexities of parenting and family life, which shape my compassionate and culturally aware approach to therapy.
