About me
I am an experienced licensed clinical social worker working with adults who have experienced trauma, substance use, suicidal ideation, disordered eating, and general mental health.
Do you ever feel like your mind won’t slow down, or that memories from the past keep affecting your present? You’re not alone. I work with adults across Arizona who are navigating trauma, anxiety, and overwhelming life stress, and I offer a space where you can simply be yourself. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck or exhausted from coping on their own — whether it’s with self-harm, substance use, intrusive thoughts, or disordered eating. Together, we’ll explore the ways you’ve learned to survive and gently build new strategies that support your healing and peace of mind.
In our sessions, we’ll focus on understanding how your thoughts, emotions, and physical experiences connect. I use somatic therapy, blending talk therapy with mindfulness, to help you feel more present, grounded, and safe in your body. The goal isn’t to “stay positive” all the time, it’s to give you tools and insight so you can handle life’s challenges.
My approach is collaborative and compassionate. Whether you’re looking for trauma therapy, somatic therapy, or a supportive space to reconnect with yourself, I’ll walk beside you as you heal and grow. Reach out today to schedule your free consultation, I’d be honored to support your journey.
