I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, with experience with adult and teen clients. I am experienced in substance abuse disorders, as well as a multitude of mental health disorders. I have a passion for helping others with trauma.
*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Arizona. I received my master’s degree from Grand Canyon University. I offer some weekly evening appointments and Sat appointments online. I believe that change follows when one is met where they are with compassion, deep listening, and sense of hope. My approach is individualized and draws upon several interventions such as mindfulness, CBT, and crisis intervention. I believe each person is unique in their experiences and perspectives, and have their own unique and personal strengths, which have grown from those experiences. I have worked with an array of mental health concerns with, but not limited to, veterans, SMI, youth, and incarcerated individuals. I have extensive experience working with substance abuse recovery, veterans, and domestic violence. I have also counseled clients for grief and loss of loved ones, relationships, and during life transitions. As part of a military family for many years, I appreciates working with veterans and understands firsthand the challenges that accompany this lifestyle. My clients enjoy my warm and genuine demeanor as well as my open minded outlook to client care.
