Living with chronic pain, relationship distress, trauma, OCD, or an anxiety disorder can change everything: how you move through your day, how you relate to yourself and those closest to you. If you're navigating internal or external stressors, are working through past trauma, or trying to reconnect to your partner, I'd love to help you find a safe way back. Something not every therapist can offer is my lived experience of multiple chronic pain conditions. I know what it's like when treatment focuses only on coping with symptoms while the emotional and relational toll get's missed.
I see adults with chronic pain or illness conditions, trauma, PTSD, identity shifts, nervous system dysregulation, anxiety, and OCD. I also help couples at any stage, including new relationships, long-term partnerships, and those open to spiritual growth. I'm an ICEEFT-Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist with training in using IFS for couples.
My approach draws on Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, Brainspotting, somatic and mindfulness practices at a pace that feels right for you. I offer telehealth therapy across all of Arizona. If any of this resonates, I'd love to hear about what about what you're seeking therapy. Just click "Email" above to reach out!
