I have been working as a therapist since 2011 after obtaining a master’s degree in professional counseling and master’s degree in Addictions Counseling which I achieved at Grand Canyon University along with my undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Arizona. My experience helping others navigate Trauma, Grief & Loss, Pregnancy, Infertility & Postpartum and a variety of other life struggles has brought me here to come alongside you as you transform. I offer a non-judgmental, compassionate space where you can explore, learn and create opportunities for change. I am a mother of 3 with only 2 living children. I understand the vulnerability that comes with sitting in the therapy chair and the courage it takes to heal. I am here to support you through active listening, validation, encouragement and skills development to improve your quality of life and help you achieve the life you wish to have.

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

In the first session we will review paperwork, policies and procedures and what to expect in the therapeutic process. We will complete a formal intake to identify presenting problems, assess for severity, gather information on history and establish treatment goals.

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

As a therapist it is important to me to meet people where they are at which requires me to remain curious and open to learning. I have learned how to create a safe, non judgmental and empathetic space for people to share. Given my experience with trauma and grief work I find it valuable to provide resources and tools for people to build a foundation to sustain progress. I tend to hold a direct yet empathetic approach which allows me to provide validation while encouraging change.

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

I enjoy working with families to assist in their adjustment of life transitions and experience with pregnancy and postpartum. My passion is working with grief and loss to include Perinatal Loss. I have extensive experience and training in the area of trauma to include EMDR. Over the past 5 years I have expanded my client base to include other mental health providers and feeling comfortable meeting the needs of those I serve alongside.
