LPC, 10 years of experience
Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Arizona, with nearly a decade of experience in the field. I hold a Master’s degree from Grand Canyon University and a Bachelor’s degree from Arizona State University. In my practice, I specialize in assisting adults in overcoming challenges that impede their ability to lead fulfilling lives, with a focus on trauma-informed care. My work is dedicated to helping clients address and resolve issues rooted in trauma to achieve their personal and professional goals.
They can expect for me to ask questions to gather a full understanding of the challenges and try to understand where they come from to address root causes of daily challenges. They can expect curiosity and compassion from me as they talk about topics or events that might be challenging to face.
My greatest strength as a provider is my commitment to honesty and directness. This approach fosters trust and ensures clear communication with clients, helping them understand what to expect and the rationale behind my recommendations or actions in a therapeutic setting. Additionally, my goal-oriented mindset allows me to focus on achieving results efficiently, guiding clients towards their objectives in a timely manner.
I am passionate about working with clients who are eager to thrive in their lives but find themselves hindered by trauma. This often manifests as anxiety, depression, low self-worth, diminished self-esteem, or symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. My focus is on helping individuals navigate these challenges to achieve greater personal fulfillment and resilience.
I am trained in EMDR and utilize it to help client's reprocess trauma to reduce distress from every-day triggers.
I am trained in DBT to assist client with gaining skills to cope with life challenges related to mindfulness, emotional distress/regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness
I am trained to look at challenges a client has from a trauma perspective to help them resolve root causes of challenges.
