Meet Your Therapists

The Shiny Professional Stuff

I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist and owner of InnerBloom Therapy Services. I have a background in psychology, trauma and relational dynamics.

I have advanced training in (EFT) Emotionally Focused Couples therapy and EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) and this is my bread and butter.

I am IFS informed (Internal Family Systems) and THIS PACKS A PUNCH! The depths of healing I have witnessed using IFS and EMDR is astounding. In addition to attending several trainings, I am currently attending Level 1 Training through the IFS Institute.

I have two Master’s degrees in both Psychology and Marriage and Family Therapy and have served the mental health community for 18 years.

I’ve pretty much worked within every facet of mental health you can imagine, you could say I’ve seen it all.

The truth is, I’ve sat with the depths of human pain and witnessed the heights of personal growth; being a therapist is in my bones.

I am also an AZBBHE approved clinical supervisor and provide mentorship and clinical oversight to associate therapists in Arizona.

Outside of the Therapy Room

The not so shiny, personal stuff is that I have experienced the power of therapy firsthand throughout my adult life. I found support in my struggle with codependency, high-conflict co-parenting, anxiety, ADHD and PMDD. As a client, I have had profound results from EMDR and parts work.

I host a podcast called Feel and Find Out where I dive into the world of mental health, to bring you education and conversations that will help you heal your relationships from the inside out!

I am a certified sound practitioner and yoga instructor because I believe in the benefit of multiple healing modalities AND because I have a desire to know and get trained in most things I have an interest in.

I am a mom of 2 boys, a toddler and a teenager who were born 10 years apart and I am no stranger to the emotional depths of parenting and co-parenting.

I absolutely love reading and you’ll find my nose in a thriller in my free time and I host a book club for therapists!

I am a life long student and will continue to figure out this thing called being a human for all of my days while helping others do the same!

“My goal is that clients look forward to sitting on my couch and that they know and trust that I have their back; not only to provide unwavering support but also to challenge them.

The relationship between therapist and client is a significant part of the therapeutic outcome. Just like in a personal relationship, don’t settle!

While we do get into some serious sh*t, I believe there is great value in humor, and value connecting with my clients on a deep level.”
