Welcome! I'm here to help as you take this important first step. As a dedicated clinician with over 20 years of experience, I work with children, adolescents, and adults. I create a safe and healing environment for all my clients through an approach rooted in acceptance to ensure that each client feels understood and supported throughout their therapeutic journey. I believe people of all ages and identities are capable of personal transformation and view my role as a partner on your journey to wholeness and health.
I have extensive experience in addressing the challenges associated with ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, Behavioral Disorders, Trauma, and Autism. Utilizing evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, and ERP, I strive to empower my clients with the tools they need to manage their mental health effectively.
In addition to therapy, I offer comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations for dyslexia, learning disabilities, ADHD, and ASD via a HIPAA-compliant remote evaluation platform or in person in AZ. These evaluations help to uncover the underlying factors affecting learning and development, allowing for tailored interventions that foster growth and success.
