“A failure is not a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.” -BF Skinner

Currently licensed in AZ and CA! One of the most important components of therapy is to feel comfortable in a safe environment where one can share their innermost feelings. I work to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space for clients to develop a better sense of self while gaining tools to empower and self-advocate.
