I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Tucson, Arizona with 10 years of experience supporting families, adults, teens, and children. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma and I work with clients who are ready to make meaningful change but aren't sure where to start. My approach is collaborative — I meet you where you are and we build from there.

I am certified in anxiety, depression, and trauma (EMDR). I am also a relationship expert with a PhD in marriage and family therapy and a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-S, LICSW). I have over 20 years of experience providing therapy to individuals, couples, groups, and families. Many of my clients choose alternative methods for dealing with anxiety and depression instead of prescription medication. I am also a certified herbalist and a practitioner of yoga. I'm not just EMDR "trained", but also certified with advanced hours in trauma.

I believe healing is possible—even when you've been struggling for years. My approach is grounded in the understanding that symptoms such as addiction, anxiety, trauma responses, or emotional overwhelm are not signs that something is wrong with you; they are adaptations that once helped you survive.

As a Licensed Independent Addictions Counselor & psychotherapist, EMDR Certified therapist, and Somatic Experiencing practitioner with a background in yoga and mindfulness, I help clients heal not only through insight, but by working with the nervous system, the body, and the deeper patterns/memories/beliefs that keep them feeling stuck. My goal is to help you move beyond surviving so you can reconnect with your authentic self and create a life that feels meaningful, connected, and aligned with your values.

’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and EMDR-trained trauma specialist with over 20 years of experience supporting and restoring families. I help individuals and couples—especially women—navigate trauma, anxiety, and relationship challenges while working toward their personal goals. I provide therapy from a faith-based perspective, thoughtfully integrating Christian principles into the healing process.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) providing compassionate, evidence-based care for adults. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Toledo and have clinical experience in outpatient psychiatry, inpatient, and detox settings. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and other mood-related conditions, using a collaborative, patient-centered approach to support each client's individual goals.

There is always hope. Your past does not have to define you or dictate your future. I believe therapy can create space for healing, growth, and deeper joy.

I specialize in helping clients work through trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, attachment wounds, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the experiences that may leave them feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves.

The majority of my professional experience comes from working with justice-impacted individuals, which has given me a deeper understanding of the complex challenges, life experiences, and barriers that can shape a person’s mental health and well-being. Through this work, I have developed a strong commitment to providing compassionate, nonjudgmental care and creating a space where clients feel respected, understood, and supported.

I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix and am currently pursuing my Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Counselor Education and Supervision at Walden University. My continued education reflects my commitment to ongoing growth and providing thoughtful, informed care to the individuals I serve.
