“When things are shaky and nothing is working, we might realize that we are on the verge of something." —Pema Chodron I am passionate about working with adults, teens, and adolescents, examining a wide range of issues through a person-centered and evidence-based lens. Whether suffering from trauma, grief, major life adjustments, anxiety and panic, or relational stressors, I will hold safe space for you while working collaboratively toward creating lasting change. It is my belief that approaching the experiences that have shaped us with a mindful curiosity is the bedrock of healing and empowerment, and I nurture an authentic and trusting therapeutic relationship while guiding this process. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Arizona State University, and a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University. Currently a Licensed Associate Counselor, I am also a Certified Child Life Specialist, addressing the psychosocial needs of hospitalized pediatric patients. I have specialized training in anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, Polyvagal Theory, and Exposure and Response Prevention for those struggling with phobias, panic and OCD. By taking a holistic and person-centered approach in her care, I utilize Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychoeducation, and Somatic Experiencing in my work, tailored to each client’s unique needs.
