About me
My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and focused on creating real, sustainable change—not just insight. I frequently work with clients who have been misdiagnosed or feel discouraged by past therapy experiences. I value creating a space where clients feel understood and supported as they begin to experience real improvement—whether that means reducing severe symptoms, rebuilding motivation, or making changes that significantly improve daily life.
Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and Co-Dependency can affect your thoughts, relationships, and sense of self in ways that are often misunderstood. You may not have all the answers, but you know something isn’t feeling right. I work with individuals navigating Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, PTSD, Co-Dependency, Narcissistic Abuse, College Stress, Workplace Issues, and Personality or Mood Challenges. Whether you’re highly motivated or feeling burned out and stuck, I provide a supportive approach to help you move forward. I have an extensive background working with Veterans and First Responders and hold deep respect for these communities.
I take a trauma-informed, collaborative approach to therapy and focus on helping you make real, practical changes in your life—not just gain insight. I have advanced training in anxiety, trauma, anger management, and working with First Responders, and I use these tools to support you in feeling more grounded, confident, and empowered.
I work with a range of clients and tailor my approach to what fits you best. This may include Trauma-Informed Care, Cognitive-Based Strategies, and/or a Strengths-Focused, Supportive style. In our first session, we'll talk about what brought you to counseling and what you'd like to accomplish. We'll also work together to create a plan that supports your goals in a way that is comfortable for you.
I have in-office locations in Tempe and Paradise Valley and also work remote. Please feel free to contact me for additional availability.
