I have always been an observer, a feeler, and a thinker. I was seventeen years old when I decided to channel my personality and my strengths into becoming a trained therapist. My path never changed its course! I feel lucky in that regard.

​With my Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Psychology from Arizona State University and my Master's degree in Marriage & Family Therapy from Lipscomb University, I approach my clients’ concerns through a relational and holistic lens. I am listening for how the client’s closest relationships are doing. I am curious about how their body holds their emotions, how their emotions treat their body, what the client’s logic thinks about all of this...you get the idea. It’s all connected, and I am always fascinated by the holistic dance of my client’s experience.

As an advocate for self-care, I practice taking care of myself through at least one slow, cozy morning a week. I spend time with friends who make me belly-laugh. I practice nourishing yoga every single day. I snuggle and play with my pets. I exercise self-discipline as a form of empathy toward my future self - she always needs structure that my present self has to create for her!

I use an integrative approach to therapy, combining elements of Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and EMDR to use research-based practices in our work together.

My goal with every session is that my client is left with helpful insight, at least one action item for "homework", and a renewed sense of hope for the future.
