I believe that embracing oneself can be one of life's most challenging journeys, yet among the most rewarding! I'm here to meet you where you are at, and help you on your journey. I treat every client with compassion and through a lens of non-judgment. I spent six years working in community mental health and have treated marginalized/underserved peoples. I love helping clients through phase of life issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood struggles, and more. I apply an integrated approach and use motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and person-centered therapy. I am social justice oriented.

I work with adults and provide individual therapy. I specialize in LGBTQIA2S+ (queer) issues, domestic violence, adjustment issues, and religious trauma. I am trained in writing gender-affirming care letters for transgender and non-binary clients, and extremely enjoy providing a safe-space for those who are trying to better understand their identities.

Taking the first step to enrolling in therapy is often scary and feels highly vulnerable. If you would like to touch base to see what we may be able to accomplish together, please give me a call or send me an email. I am here to support you! Please note that I can only see clients who are located in Arizona.
