Pain from the past or fear about the future might make it difficult to enjoy the present. If this describes you or a teen you care about, I want you to know there is hope.

Greetings! I have had the privilege of practicing the art of psychotherapy for 47 yrs. and utilize a number of modalities: family of origin, shame reduction, enneagram, mindfulness, dream interpretation, cognitive therapy and DBT. The entry point to authentic healing and lasting growth, is the development of self awareness and self compassion.

My approach is eclectic, respectful, highly interactive, compassionate and sometimes challenging. I suggest homework between sessions.

In therapy, we will build mindfulness skills, identify values, and build a new relationship with thoughts.
I provide LGBTQ+ affirming therapy and help people self-explore, navigate relationships, and find supports in the community. We often spend so much time avoiding what makes us uncomfortable or scared that we miss out on the fullness of life. I want to help if you are feeling stuck, struggling with avoidance, or feeling disconnected from your values to build skills of flexibility and mindfulness. I want to work with you to reconnect with your values, set meaningful goals, and embrace the full range of human experience (positive and negative).

"What's broken can be mended. What hurts can be healed. No matter how dark it gets, the sun is going to rise again."* I believe in being positive, present and having a realistic plan for change. Behavior is influenced by core beliefs. Behaviors follow patterns that can be identified and changed. We will identify your core beliefs and challenge unhealthy thought and patterns. We will use a mindfulness based approach and focus on your strengths as we create a plan for change. *I am EMDR and RTEP trained and have solid base in treating all types of trauma.

Together we will work to uncover the details of your story, developing coping strategies through mindfulness, meditation, vision boards and more.
Let's find purpose in the pain that brought you to my profile. We fight so hard to keep anything bad from happening.“If I play the game, it might (or not)work out. If I avoid the issue, it’ll just disappear," it never works, does it? We fear pain& negative consequences so much that we don’t see the blinders we put on our eyes to avoid them. By putting ourselves in the dark we create BIGGER issues. What if instead of avoiding the issue, you paused and shifted? What if you chose to embrace it, get a new perspective? What if you shifted from avoidance to openness, leaning into curiosity? Let me help you find peace & resolution.

I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and mindfulness techniques to address these issues.
Change can happen and it can happen quickly if you're willing to put confusing, overwhelming feelings and thoughts under a microscope and dig. I help facilitate the dig by providing you with a supportive environment to stimulate new ways of thinking about your life and identify actions necessary to create better outcomes for yourself.

I focus on using a strengths-based approach with clients to promote the implementation of a growth mindset through various therapeutic modalities including, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, Positive Psychology, and Mindfulness.
I am an LMSW working with individuals, couples, and families ages 5 and up. I started my career working at a private school dedicated to assisting youth and families impacted by the AZ Foster Care System.

I incorporate this passion into my practice by utilizing trauma informed techniques to promote a sense of safety and security while the client shares their experiences. I values her client’s voice and encourage them to provide direction as they establish a unique treatment plan tailored to address their needs.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
