Meet Your Therapists

My Therapeutic Approach

Are you feeling stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed by life changes, or craving more authentic relationships — with others and yourself?

 Maybe you’re trying to figure out this whole “adulting” thing (at any age), or you’re tired of the same thoughts and behaviors holding you back. I’m here to help you make sense of it all — with curiosity, compassion, and often a bit of humor.

As your therapist, I’ll help you untangle what’s getting in your way while you lead the work of creating the change you want and deserve. I’m direct, collaborative, and supportive — and I’ll gently challenge you to grow, heal, and move forward with clarity. I want you to leave each session feeling seen, empowered, and equipped with insight and practical tools you can use in everyday life.

I’m a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist with 18 years of experience in behavioral health. I’ve worked across outpatient, residential, crisis, and substance use settings. I draw from trauma-informed, attachment-based approaches — including Emotionally Focused Therapy and family systems — to help you shift long-standing dynamics and build healthier relationships.

I specialize in working with adults, adolescents, and families navigating unresolved family-of-origin issues, boundary challenges, codependency, parent-child conflict, substance use, and relationship distress. I also support clients managing depression, anxiety, general discontent, or thoughts of suicide or self-harm.

Social justice is central to my work, and I help clients recognize how larger systems and structures may be influencing their personal experiences.

I offer both in-person and virtual therapy for clients across Arizona and currently have openings. I also offer free 15-minute consultation calls to help you decide if we’re a good fit.

A Little About Me

When I was little, I wanted to be the first female President. Spoiler alert – didn’t happen, ha! And while my origin story is a bit different from where I ended up, I continue to strive to make lasting, impactful change in people’s lives and in society.

I’ve grown to realize that change doesn’t have to happen on a grand scale to be meaningful; in fact, the most meaningful change I can make, is by touching the life of one person.

I strongly believe in the transformative power of therapy and the therapeutic relationship. I have experienced this in my own life, on the other side of the room, as a client.

When I’m not in the therapy room, you can find me buried in books – and yes, audio books count – loving on my rescue dog, Maslow, or planning my next great adventure to the beach.
