Family therapy and counseling in Prescott, AZ

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma-related disorders, and behavioral challenges in children, teens, and adults. My approach integrates CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, trauma-informed care, and attachment-focused therapy to help clients build practical coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 12 years of clinical experience, including 4 years as a licensed counselor in behavioral health settings. I support individuals and families navigating life transitions, chronic stress, and complex emotional challenges, helping them move toward greater confidence and resilience.

I have extensive experience working with foster and adoptive families, focusing on attachment, trauma, parenting stress, and family transitions. My background within the Department of Child Services (DCS), juvenile detention, and family court systems allows me to guide families through both the emotional and procedural aspects of these environments with clarity and confidence.

I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and empowered. My approach is flexible and tailored to each client’s unique needs, ensuring therapy is both practical and impactful.

If you do not see a time that fits your schedule, please reach out—I will do my best to accommodate your needs.

My clients are the “overthinkers” in the world...with big feelings that are hard to explain. They feel misunderstood, lonely and isolated while striving to please others at the expense of themselves. They’re exhausted, overworked, and over-stressed, feeling like they’re never enough. They have a vision for life, but aren’t sure how to bring it together, especially after a life-changing event. They're also eager for change.

Does this sound like you? If so, I warmly welcome you to my practice.

Most of us haven’t made it through life without a few bruises. Sometimes we lose touch with ourselves along the way, shaped by what we’ve been through and the weight of those experiences.

That doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you. It means you adapted. Sometimes beautifully. Sometimes painfully. Often both.

Therapy is a space to slow down, get curious, and gently begin untangling what you’ve been carrying. Together, we can explore your story with compassion, reconnect with who you are beneath old patterns, and move toward a way of living that feels more aligned, grounded, and authentic.

Hello and welcome to my site. I have been licensed as a social worker since 1995 when I obtained my undergrad degree in social work. Since that time I have been licensed at the independent clinical level after obtaining my MSW degree and have been in practice independently since 2011. I work with a variety of clients with different issues, but I focus on trauma and how traumatic situations and life experiences impact how people see the world.

I have a Masters degree in Professional Counseling and am credential by The National Board of Certified Counselors. My professional background is in trauma recovery and forensic psychology, meaning I have approached trauma on from both ends of the spectrum. There is little I haven't seen or heard clinically. This allows me to remain open minded, and has given me the knowledge and experience to provide a safe, supportive space for exploration.
