I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Phoenix, Arizona. I work primarily with women, across the lifespan, to improve their overall wellbeing, mental health, and relationships. This includes getting clear on what you want for your life outside of the roles you have such as parent, friend, partner, or daughter. I specialize in issues of mental health around pregnancy and parenting including parenting of neurodiverse children.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In my first session I want to make sure to answer any questions and address any doubts or worries. We will start to get to know one another and go over the information you have provided on the intake paperwork. We will develop an initial plan for our first few meetings and decide how you feel most comfortable working together.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strength as a provider is my ability to show up as myself and encourage my clients to do so as well. When we can both be authentic, good and bad, there's more room for exploring different perspectives and considering change.
