Hi there! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your healing journey!
As a therapist, I’ve learned pain can be released, trauma can be resolved and healing is your birthright. Trauma is my area of expertise, and informs my understanding of the world. I implement Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems Parts work, EMDR and Motivational Interviewing. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and enjoy teaching and practicing DBT skills in sessions. I am a licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Arizona.
My approach is integrative, collaborative, client-centered and includes being able to focus on the goals of clients. My honest communication and ability to connect with clients enhances the ability to create a safe place for healing to begin. I take pride in being a positive impact in my client’s lives challenging them to identify their strengths, work through their weaknesses by accessing their own self-energy. I enjoy working with teens, adults and have experience working with active duty, veterans, first responders and professional athletes. As a Naval veteran I am passionate about working with veterans, first responders and their families. I am also a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which is an organization working to remove the stigma surrounding mental health. Being a coach’s wife, I understand the challenges and complexities in the culture of Athletes and am honored to be a part of this organization. I am a MAPS Trained Clinician and can help with integration of psychedelic experiences offering treatment through a spiritual and healing lens if applicable.
In my free time I enjoy traveling and spending time with my family. I am also an avid sports fan. Some of my favorite teams are, Chicago Bulls, Bears, White Sox and Blackhawks.
