I use culturally sensitive strategies and appropriate modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Family systems to address various issues such as trauma, depression, anxiety, parenting, and domestic violence.
Often, we rely on our natural supports for guidance however soon we realize, it is not helpful, perhaps because they say what they think we want to hear, and that’s not beneficial. I believe that for change to occur we must gain insight and self-awareness into the problem and that the therapeutic relationship between a client and therapist is essential. Despite the adversity you have encountered you deserve to live your best life and experience the best version of you. My role is to implement the most appropriate strategies and interventions and use my 17 years of experience in community mental health to support and guide you.

These feelings are so often times rooted in shame, fear, hurt, and trauma.
Accepting NEW Clients! Do you struggle with unexplainable body aches, pains, insomnia, weight gain, anxiety, depression, relational issues, or familial conflicts? If any of these describes you, your body may be reacting and holding on to trauma. Trauma can be acute, chronic or complex and often are developed during our childhood years and many times is unconsciously passed down from our parents. I work with clients to battle their body from both a physical and mental standpoint in regards to their trauma. I specialize in healing trauma by getting to the root cause. In order to heal on the outside you have to heal on the inside.

I have experience in working with children who have experienced trauma, abuse and who have unsafe coping skills.
Are you frustrated with your child’s behavior? Are you receiving phone calls from your child’s school? Is your child having difficulty regulating emotions and following directions? Both parents and children become frustrated and their relationship suffers. I use the language of play to connect with children and help them learn to express their needs in a safe manner. I specialize in working with children who have difficulty managing emotions and behavior at home and at school.

I have found an effective integrative & trauma informed approach which has been successful for many.
We all struggle in life, at one point or another. The question is how we navigate through that struggle. This is also why we can all use some guidance. I work collaboratively with clients to help them cope with these struggles, meet new goals and live an authentic, meaningful life. The foundation of that life is built on their self-determined values and strengths. I also challenge my clients to grow, seek out their strengths in all aspects of their life and offer them the emotional support and tools necessary to make deep and lasting positive changes.

Trauma and the significant impact it has on the individuals mind, body and soul is what motivated my desire to become a therapist and gain certification as an EMDR practitioner.
Things happen to us everyday which impact and change who we are and how we though the world. My twenty-five plus years of working in this field with individual's of diverse ages, cultures and back grounds have proven this to be true. I believe my role as a therapist is to support others in identifying "their" purpose while growing their mental, emotional and physical health. The passion for supporting others in the process of gaining insight and identifying positive changes toward their future is "my" purpose.

Change is a process and not an event. Whether you interested in establishing a new relationship to substances, addressing relapse, or have been sober for a while and want to work on underlying issues, I welcome you. I believe that most often substance use is a symptom of underlying issues and people turn to unhealthy behaviors to manage. If these issues are not addressed a person will relapse. I specialize in co-occurring disorders including Trauma, Depression, Bi-polar Disorder, and Anxiety. I have over twenty five years of personal and professional experience in addiction recovery.

I use a variety of approaches in the therapeutic process including: Pia Mellody's model of Co-dependency/Developmental Immaturity and relational trauma recovery, EMDR, insight oriented experiential process work, somatic, body-oriented therapies using contemplative approaches for body/emotions/awareness integration.
I have been in the health/wellness field for 20+ years using strength based/holistic recovery approaches. Integrated/experiential therapy helps you re-claim your authentic spontaneous self, creating the life you wish to live. Addressing emotional/relational wounding truly opens the door to a more empowered and fulfilling life. You can increase your self-esteem and confidence, free yourself from depression/anxiety, negative self-talk, substance or process addictions, trauma triggers, and emotional reactivity in relationships. Sometimes therapy addresses current challenges/difficulties, sometimes it's about family of origin issues using inner child work, and/or trauma reduction work.

I have a unique background and heart to support emergency responders because I am an EMT and retired law enforcement officer. I have been a licensed therapist in Arizona since 2007. I believe first responders are very strong and resilient people, but sometimes they need support by a licensed professional who understands their jobs and work culture. I can help them build resilience, learn additional coping tools to get better outcomes at work and at home, and I can provide a safe and understanding environment to "off-load" and process some of the intrusive effects of trauma they've experienced (accepting adult clients only).
