Hi! I'm a LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) based in Arizona. I received my Masters from the Arizona State University and have been practicing for 13 years. I know reaching out for help is a big step. I appreciate you considering me to be part of your healing journey! I specialize in working with individuals with several needs, including but not limited to: anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, life stressors/transitions, family dynamic struggles, personality disorders, domestic violence history, postpartum depression/prenatal/fertility issues, self-esteem issues, and trauma history. I am client-centered and want to work alongside you to establish goals that assist you with making progress towards a happier you! I strive to provide a safe space where we can collaborate and explore how to empower you.

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

We will start our first session by getting to know each other. I will ask you background questions and explore your expectations for therapy. I understand the first session can be overwhelming, so I will try my best to make the process as comforting as possible!

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

I feel that open communication and creating a safe space is necessary to building a healthy therapeutic relationship. I have been described by clients and those close to me as approachable, compassionate, and nonjudgmental.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I love working with a variety of clients who are in need of a safe space to process their stressors and emotions. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious. I am here to collaboratively work with you to find methods to achieve your personalized goals and to find effective ways to cope.
