Grief counselors and therapists in Phoenix, AZ

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, or carrying stress that just won’t seem to let up, you’re not alone. You might look like you’re holding everything together on the outside, but inside it feels heavy, exhausting, or unclear how to move forward. Therapy can be a place where you finally feel heard — without judgment.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Many of my clients come in unsure of why they feel the way they do, or frustrated that things haven’t changed despite their efforts. Together, we’ll begin to make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface so you can feel more grounded, clear, and in control of your life.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe that prioritizing mental health is key to experiencing peace. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I have over a decade of experience in mental health counseling across the lifespan, and I have shifted my main focus to adults and couples struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, life transitions, and connection.

My goal is to provide a safe environment for my clients to come and talk about their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, and work towards positive self-acceptance and love.

With over 20 years in healthcare and working as a Family Nurse Practitioner, the desire to treat patients better as a “whole” combined with the COVID pandemic of 2020 nearly caused me to stop providing care entirely. Essentially, I was fed up with the medical care being offered to many. Instead of walking away from patient care, I chose a different path. My focus shifted to treating the mental health of the patients & families I have compassionately taken care of in the past,
