I am trained in EMDR, CBT, DBT, EFT, Gottmans and much more as well as being a client centered, trauma informed LCSW who makes my clients a priority. I treat many issues but specialize in trauma, grief, comorbidities, end of life, identity challenges, anxiety, depression and helping you thrive regardless!
You may look like you are holding everything together while feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted underneath. I work with adults navigating trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, substance use and recovery, co-occurring concerns, and difficult life transitions.
With 19 years of behavioral health experience, I bring extensive experience in addiction and recovery and am trained in EMDR through the Francine Shapiro EMDR Institute. I understand that people are more than a diagnosis and that the ways we learn to cope often make sense in the context of what we have lived through—even when those same patterns are no longer helping us today.
My style is warm, genuine, and direct. I offer a nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard while also doing meaningful work toward change. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and I tailor therapy to your needs, goals, strengths, and readiness.
I offer IN-PERSON APPOINTMENTS in Goodyear, Arizona, serving the West Valley, as well as virtual therapy throughout Arizona, Wisconsin, Colorado, Michigan, Florida, and New Jersey.
Finding a therapist who truly gets your life can feel like a long search. One who sees more than a diagnosis, who doesn't need you to explain yourself before you can get to work. If you're part of the LGBTQ+ community, that search often comes with an extra layer: the quiet work of figuring out whether this therapist is actually safe, or whether you'll spend your sessions educating them. With me, you won't have to do that work.
I'm a licensed therapist with more than 22 years of experience in mental health and addiction treatment. I've worked in community mental health centers, psychiatric hospitals, correctional settings, and private practice. I've sat with people in some of the hardest moments of their lives and know how to meet them there without flinching.
My primary focus is LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. That includes navigating identity, coming out at any stage of life, relationship dynamics unique to queer and same-sex partnerships, internalized stigma, minority stress, and everything that comes with living authentically in a world that doesn't always make that easy. I also work with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, substance use and dual diagnosis, men's issues, and stress and burnout.
I specialize in addiction, ADHD and depression for all ages. Listening to clients and working together to find the right approach to their situation. I am a very goal oriented person that uses my knowledge and experience to create a treatment plan that motivates and encourages my clients on their mental health journey.
Hello All!
As a LSCSW I have experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds in correctional, school, and psychiatric settings; while providing mental health services tailored for each individual. I help identify and navigate all of life's endless transitions and challenges. My style is warm, honest, culturally responsive, and judgment-free. Together, we will build self-love, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, recognize behaviors that may be holding you back, and explore healthier perspectives that support meaningful change.
Therapy is journey towards our better selves. Let me help you on this journey! With over 25 years of experience in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling, identifying barriers and difficulties in employment is my specialty, but over the past few years I have expanded my modalities and practice to include working in therapeutic modalities with individuals and couples to help them address their issues with interpersonal communication and building on a strong foundation. I have also worked with those dealing with anger management, depressive and anxiety disorders, individuals on the Autism Spectrum, and those struggling with addictions.
I have been working in mental health for 11 years. I specialize in transitions in life, anxiety, and perfectionism.
