I think most of us can't get through life unscathed or without wounds. Whether as children or adults, those closest to us may not know the depth of our pain or how to help us heal. And we may not know how to express that pain. This is where having a sacred time and space can be pivotal in healing from events robbing us of our sense of well being as we navigate life. My goal for every client is that you can learn to love yourself and know deeply that you can handle life, no matter how it goes. You can turn a corner in an EMDR session - from 'I'm unlovable' to 'I am fine as I am.' Or 'I can't let go' to 'it is over.' You're worth it.

Welcome, anxious women! It's great that you're finally doing something for yourself. Anxious women tend to be overwhelmed, feel that we don't matter, feel disappointed by our partner not supporting us, and worried about not being the best mom, wife, or employee that we can be. We tend to feel like life is spinning out of our reach. Many times, we even doubt ourselves and our ability to be effective. Does this describe you? I know what you're going through, and I can help.

I believe that this life is meant to be lived fully and freely in every moment. It is a simple concept, but sometimes so difficult to experience as our thoughts keep us held in the past or our fears spiral us into the future. You may feel completely trapped in a cycle of unhealthy thoughts and behaviors and sense you're losing control. Sometimes we struggle getting lost in heartache or pain and forget what life can look like on the other side. I have a genuine passion for coming alongside each person to help rediscover a full and free life with all of its wonders and difficulties.

I work with adults, adolescents, and families in Phoenix and across Arizona who are ready to start building self-understanding, emotional clarity, and self-compassion. Many clients struggle with shame, anxiety, ADHD, executive dysfunction, or feeling “stuck” in patterns that affect relationships and personal growth.
I combine Narrative Therapy and Internal Family Systems (parts work) to help clients explore the stories they tell about themselves and the different parts of themselves that influence thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This approach helps reframe unhelpful narratives, reduce shame, and develop self compassion.
