Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona. I received my master's degree from Northern Arizona University and have been practicing for 18 years. I help individuals with trauma, depression or anxiety reduce symptoms through the community mental health system. I am currently working on my doctorate degree in order to assist patients with chronic medical conditions. I want to help my patients achieve their identified goals to improve their lives!
In the first session, we will have brief introductions, and I will assess what concerns you the most in order to create a plan to meet your goals.
I have worked in community mental health for years and gained experience with a variety of patients. This has given me the opportunity to gain experience in helping patients meet their goals through a variety of counseling strategies.
I work with individuals with trauma, depression, or anxiety with symptom reduction and ability to manage symptoms long-term.
