I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona with extensive experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, relationship concerns, life transitions, and personal growth. I believe meaningful change begins with feeling genuinely understood, so I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly and honestly. My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and tailored to your unique needs, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness techniques. Together, we'll identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and develop practical strategies that promote lasting growth, resilience, and emotional well-being.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a strong therapeutic relationship. I'll take time to understand your history, current concerns, strengths, and what you hope to gain from therapy. Together, we'll identify your goals and develop a personalized plan that feels realistic and meaningful. My goal is for you to leave your first session feeling heard, understood, and confident that we have a clear direction moving forward.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I combine genuine compassion with clinical expertise to create a therapy experience that is both supportive and effective. I ask thoughtful questions, help clients recognize patterns that may no longer serve them, and provide practical tools they can apply between sessions. Rather than offering quick fixes, I focus on helping clients gain insight, build resilience, and create meaningful, sustainable change. I believe therapy should feel like a partnership where you are challenged, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with people who are ready to better understand themselves, navigate life's challenges, and create meaningful change. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, the effects of trauma, ADHD, relationship concerns, career stress, or a major life transition, we'll work together to identify what's keeping you stuck and build practical strategies that support your goals. I welcome clients who are curious, motivated, or simply ready to take the first step toward personal growth.

My treatment methods

EMDR

I incorporate EMDR therapy to help clients process distressing memories, reduce the emotional impact of past experiences, and move toward lasting healing. EMDR is an evidence-based approach commonly used to treat trauma, anxiety, and experiences that continue to affect daily life. I tailor the pace of treatment to each client, ensuring therapy feels safe, collaborative, and empowering throughout the process.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the primary approaches I use to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we'll identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and develop practical strategies that support lasting emotional wellness. My approach is collaborative, personalized, and focused on helping you build skills you can continue using long after therapy ends.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

I believe meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and authenticity. My person-centered approach means I meet you where you are, without judgment, and tailor each session to your unique experiences, strengths, and goals. I strive to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to move toward the life you want.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help clients identify their strengths, clarify their goals, and build practical solutions to life's challenges. Together, we'll focus on what's working, recognize your resilience, and develop achievable steps that create meaningful progress while honoring your unique journey.

Eclectic

I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. My eclectic style allows me to draw from a variety of evidence-based treatment methods and tailor each session to your unique needs, goals, and strengths. By integrating techniques from approaches such as CBT, EMDR, person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness, I create an individualized treatment experience designed to help you make meaningful, lasting progress.
