I am passionate about fostering supportive, trusting relationships that empower clients to overcome challenges and move forward in meaningful, positive ways. As an EMDR-trained Certified Clinical Trauma Therapist, I am dedicated to helping individuals process and heal from difficult life experiences in a safe, compassionate environment.

I specialize in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, adoption-related concerns, pregnancy loss, chronic pain, and chronic illness. My goal is to create a healing space where clients feel seen, supported, and equipped with tools that promote long-term resilience and growth.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly 14 years of experience, I have worked across diverse settings, including first response and on-scene crisis intervention, hospital crisis care, and both in-home and hospital-based therapy. I also serve as a Clinical Supervisor with the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health and as a Field Liaison with the Arizona State University School of Social Work, where I support graduate-level students in their professional development.

I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Arizona State University and bring a trauma-informed, client-centered approach to every individual I serve. I strongly believe that counseling should never be one-size-fits-all, and I remain committed to creating individualized treatment plans tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.

Outside of the counseling space, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring the outdoors, and creating meaningful memories together. Whether camping, hiking, traveling, or simply enjoying new adventures, I value opportunities to slow down, connect, and be present with the people I love.

I believe healing often happens within safe, supportive relationships and through experiences that help us reconnect with ourselves and the world around us. These values deeply influence my approach to counseling — one grounded in authenticity, compassion, and the belief that growth and healing can happen one step at a time.
