Hello, I'm here to help you facilitate healing and arrive at your healthiest self. We will work together, to arrive at your destination; wherever that may be.

I have many years working with those who struggle with addictions and alcohol

Healing isn't about fixing what's broken; it's about understanding how your mind and body adapted to survive and discovering new ways to thrive.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona specializing in trauma, attachment, anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship patterns, and nervous system healing. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology and am currently completing my PhD in Transpersonal Psychology. My doctoral research explores the lived experience of healing developmental trauma through attachment repair, somatic integration, inner-child healing, and innate healing processes that support lasting transformation.

Many people come to therapy believing they're broken, when in reality they're living with nervous systems that adapted to survive difficult experiences. I believe healing begins by understanding those protective patterns with compassion and helping them soften so you can live with greater freedom, connection, and authenticity.

Whether you're navigating the effects of childhood trauma, painful relationships, chronic stress, grief, or recovery from substance use, therapy can help you understand the patterns that once protected you while creating new ones that support a more fulfilling life.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both research and experience. I integrate Somatic Experiencing, attachment-based therapy, mindfulness, parts work, and evidence-informed trauma treatment to help clients move beyond insight into meaningful, embodied healing. My work focuses not only on understanding your story, but also on helping your nervous system experience safety, connection, and lasting change.

If you've always been the one holding everything together while quietly struggling on the inside, you don't have to do it alone. Together, we'll build greater resilience, self-compassion, healthier relationships, and a deeper connection with the person you want to become.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience across inpatient psychiatry, crisis stabilization, substance use treatment, residential care, intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient medication management. My background has given me the opportunity to work with individuals facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, substance use concerns, mood instability, sleep problems, and life transitions.

Clients often describe my style as calm, direct, supportive, and easy to talk to. I believe mental health care should feel collaborative, respectful, and practical. My goal is to help clients better understand what they are experiencing, explore treatment options, and build a plan that supports real improvement in daily life.

I have a strong interest in treatment-resistant depression, interventional psychiatry, and evidence-based medication management, while also recognizing that each person’s story, goals, and values matter just as much as symptoms or diagnoses.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a PsyD in Behavioral Health Leadership and Industrial/Organizational Psychology. I primarily work with adolescents and young adults, often incorporating family members to improve communication and relational patterns. I also work with professionals and athletes to strengthen mindset, reduce stress, and enhance performance using principles from mental performance and organizational psychology. My approach integrates CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to help clients build resilience, self-awareness, and meaningful, lasting growth.
