Just a heads up—I’m in the Mountain Time Zone, which runs one hour ahead of Arizona until the fall. For example, if you see a 2:00 time slot available, that would be 1:00 Arizona time.

After battling addiction for 30 years, my own recovery journey inspired me to become a therapist. With 14 1/2 years of sobriety, I bring both personal insight and professional expertise to the work I do. While my initial focus was supporting individuals struggling with substance use and co-occurring disorders, my practice has since expanded to include helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, anger, ADHD, OCD, low self-esteem, boundary-setting, relationship challenges, codependency, and more.

I am deeply committed to walking alongside others on their path to healing, believing that with determination and the right support, meaningful change is always possible. My approach is rooted in empathy, connection, and ongoing growth—I continuously pursue education and training to stay current with the most effective practices in the field. Outside of my work, I enjoy mindfulness, exercise, spending time outdoors, and staying connected with family and friends. My passion for this work shines through in every client interaction, and I strive to be a source of hope, encouragement, and resilience for those I serve.

I take an eclectic approach to therapy, tailoring my methods to each client’s unique needs and preferences. Because every individual is different, I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities to find what works best for them. My experience includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Talk Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Gestalt Therapy, Mindfulness practices, and Motivational Interviewing. Having a wide range of tools allows me to adapt my approach and provide personalized, effective treatment, ensuring each client receives the support they need on their healing journey.

Clients can expect to walk away from sessions with me feeling heard, supported, and equipped with practical tools they can apply in their daily lives. Because I draw from a wide range of therapeutic approaches, clients often gain new perspectives on their challenges, strategies for managing emotions and stress, and healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. They can also expect a safe, nonjudgmental space where their unique needs are respected, and where we work together to uncover strengths, build resilience, and create meaningful change. My goal is for every client to leave sessions with a greater sense of clarity, hope, and confidence in their ability to move forward on their healing journey.
