Are your children displaying challenges with emotions, relating to others or adjusting to a school environment? Difficulty regulating emotions and impulsive behaviors can negatively affect the way we interact with others, causing difficulties in building those relationships we need to thrive. I primarily work with children and teens with an emphasis on Autism, development delays, ADHD and anxiety and the impact on daily functioning and fully enjoying life. I have seen how trauma negatively affects normal childhood development and have been trained in EMDR for children to help free them from a burden and pain they don’t understand.

I see anyone who is concerned about emotional control, suicide and dissociation. My clients are typically high-functioning individuals with good insight and self-awareness. However, they are privately suffering and feel unable to escape recurring feelings.

Welcome! I have been in practice over a decade and have learned that by gaining understanding and compassion for ourselves, our innate healing potential will emerge. I love to help other professionals in the field and I am a AZBBHE clinical supervisor. A quote by Rumi expresses it this way "your task is not to seek love, but to merely seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it" I use a "non-pathologizing lens" to see my clients holistically and help them make connections to how their past experiences have shaped the narratives and emotions they experience today.

Finding the right fit can always be challenging. I look for helpful solutions to difficult problems.

In my experience, we all find ourselves stumbling in life in some way or another.

Together, as a team, we find and follow what works best for you to meet your therapeutic goals.

What we identify as the problems in our lives are typically symptoms of something deeper that needs attention. If you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, mood instability, stress, trauma, or personal relationships, it always comes back to the relationship you have with yourself. Our emotions provide information that helps us gain a better understanding of who we are, and tune us into those things that are out of balance in our lives. For me, therapy is a healing journey intended to increase awareness, restore balance, and guide individuals toward the optimum version of who they can be.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or emotional regulation? Or perhaps you're facing relationship issues, grief, trauma, or PTSD? The path towards healing can be daunting to go through alone. With constant challenges and obstacles that come along the way, it may be hard to ask for help especially when we are at our most vulnerable. Just know that you never have to go through it alone as I am here to be a fellow traveler with you on your journey towards finding inner balance and peace. My goal is to tailor your experience towards your specific needs so that I can foster a space that promotes authenticity, trust, and growth.

I’ve been a counselor and a coach for over a dozen years now and I have learned that to be our best, to truly make positive changes in our lives we need to address the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. Our goal is the full integration of the emotional child, the intellectual adult, the physical body, and the spirit guide (soul). I believe that everyone is capable of, is in fact entitled to, a life of happiness, love, peace, and fulfillment. I utilize an integrative approach that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), empathetic listening, mindfulness, and spirituality.

I believe that at any given moment you are doing your best with what you are given. Through a trauma-informed and unconditionally positive lens; I am eager to support you in learning and exploring your past and present.
