Anxiety often feels like an impending sense of doom. It can affect your ability to function, and can often be very isolating. I work with individuals to reduce anxiety through mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Trauma can be a result of one event or multiple events over time. Symptoms may include depression, anxiety, panic attacks, dissociation, and low self-esteem. I work with individuals using the "bottom up" approach. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist-Individual.
Codependency is characterized by individuals that have unbalanced relationships, and the individual will put the needs of others before themselves. Some characteristics of codependency include: low self-esteem, difficulty making decisions, people pleasing, poor boundaries, and difficulty identifying emotions. I work with individuals to red discover themselves, identifying destructive behavioral patterns, and getting acquainted with their needs and emotions.
Change comes from a fear of the unknown or an expectation of loss. Depending on how you view the change, good or bad, may determine how well you adjust. Therapy can help with changing perception, increase quality coping skills, and provide the support needed to successfully adjust to change.
In every relationship there are times when it is helpful to have a professional as a sounding board. Couples therapy you can learn about “blind spots.” Blind spots are things you do that you are not aware of, but others can see. For example, unhealthy communication patterns and conflict avoidance. The goal of therapy is to increase awareness and tools to increase satisfaction in the relationship.
In light of recent announcements of Covid-19 community spread in Maricopa County, while no cases have been connected to my office, my intent is to minimize community risk and provide a pathway for continuity of services during this time.
If you are feeling unwell, have travelled in the last 14-21 days to an affected area, or have a friend or family member who may have been exposed to Covid-19, please refrain from attending in-person sessions.
I have the ability to provide secure telehealth sessions via your client portal, which will allow us to continue meeting without interruption through this time period.
I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, anger, and trauma. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with the goal of helping clients develop a strong set of skills to overcome emotional challenges. Within the framework of CBT, I incorporate the practices of mindfulness, acceptance, and self-compassion.
The research has shown CBT to be very effective in the treatment of anxiety and panic disorders, among many other conditions. I tailor my approach to individual’s needs and goals. I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and non-judgmental space where you can be yourself.

Psychologist Carl Rogers once said “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change”, and I live by this philosophy. Ready to feel better? It’s time to create a new path.

Navigating through life’s challenges can be difficult. As life becomes more overwhelming, even the smallest of tasks can seem impossible. Seeking professional help is not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength. As the great Brené Brown says “vulnerability is our greatest measure of courage.” My priority is creating a safe, non-judgmental, and validating environment to provide a space for healing. I believe that when people are truly heard, the healing process begins. I work with clients to address issues of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, adjustments to change, and relationships. I also work with clients to explore their emotions, learn to regulate themselves, and safely process their trauma(s) with the intention to help them find ways of coping that will result in healthier interactions with others and themselves. I focus on a holistic approach while tailoring treatment for the unique needs of each client. Fostering and instilling resiliency among my clients is key in helping each individual regain the strength and confidence needed to move forward in their life.

Making the decision to begin your therapeutic journey can be very overwhelming. I applaud your courage and strength in choosing to take care of you.
I am a Licensed Associate Counselor with over 10 years’ experience in behavioral health who specializes in working with adults, emerging adults, and adolescents struggling with trauma responses, depression, anxiety, cultural issues, relationships, crisis management, and difficult life adjustments. My goal is to assist you in finding YOUR voice, learning new tools for daily self-regulation, and not just to “cope” through crisis.
With the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), or integrated psychotherapy I can help shine the light on your chosen path to healing and self-growth. The answers you seek are within you and I’m excited to explore them with you. While I have experience in various therapy modalities, I utilize a trauma informed approach and am currently working on obtaining my PhD in Psychology with specialization in Trauma and Disaster Relief. Many times, trauma holds us back from who we really are or from goals we want to achieve. The journey through it is restorative and as Martin Luther King Jr. said, “You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” My role is to provide a safe, calm, and empowering space to take those first steps together; you are not alone.

A friend or family member is not professionally trained to help you grow, heal and change. Here is why your friend's advice is different from a therapist. Friends usually give you advice based on their experience, and are sometimes they are too close to the situation to be non-bias. Sometimes people don't feel comfortable sharing everything with a friend or family member because they fear being judged. A trained therapist is interested in helping you find your own answers by helping you connect with what is true and right for you.
