Welcome! I support adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief and loss, stress, and significant life transitions. Whether you’re going through a difficult season, feeling overwhelmed by emotions, struggling in your relationships, or adjusting to an unexpected change, my goal is to help you feel supported while we work together to better understand what you’re experiencing.
My professional background includes working with individuals and families across a variety of settings, including corrections and community-based mental health services. These experiences have allowed me to work with people from many different backgrounds and life circumstances and have shaped my understanding of the unique challenges each person can face.
I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel heard, understood, and comfortable being yourself. Together, we can build on your strengths, develop helpful tools for managing life’s challenges, and work toward greater balance, confidence, and well-being.
I am from Lockport, Illinois and have lived in Phoenix AZ for over 25 years. I received my undergrad at Governor's state University and grad degree from Capella university. My specialty is Trauma, but I also work with many other problems. I work with children ages 10 to 18.
I am interested in helping people identify solutions that can help them with addictive compulsions. I work with dual diagnosis (mental health plus addiction), but addiction must be one of the issues due to the requirements of my license. I can help with resources for treatment, referrals for detox, teaching about 12-step meetings and sober coaching. I work primarily with alcohol and drug addiction, but I can also help support additional diagnosis such as bipolar disorder or ADHD, as they often accompany addiction. Sex and love addiction solutions can also be worked on in therapy, especially regarding marriage problems due to affairs, and how to find resources to curb addictive tendencies that affect marriage. I can also help loved ones of people with addiction find answers, resources, and hope.
I have found my own personal healing to be intimately connected to nature, and it is here that I believe that we can all begin to rediscover our intrinsic humanity and let go of those things that distract us from our higher selves. In my spare time, I work as an outdoor educator and manage my own private practice and guide Outdoor Retreats
I believe it is helpful and important to translate what is discussed in session and in telehealth meetings into lived experience and real change.
