Let's Connect (520) 231-2811

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, with a deep commitment to fostering transformation and growth, I specialize in creating a therapeutic space where clients feel empowered to explore their inner potential. My approach is grounded in building a collaborative and relational connection, ensuring that each client feels heard, supported, and safe throughout their journey.

With certifications in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), I integrate these evidence-based modalities to address trauma and other complex emotional challenges. I have advanced studies in Somatic Experiencing, a body-centered approach to healing trauma.

My therapeutic philosophy is not only about symptom relief but also about guiding clients toward a renewed sense of self-awareness, resilience, and emotional freedom. You can book with me via 'my website'.
