Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, holding a Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University. With a deep commitment to fostering transformation and growth, I specialize in creating a therapeutic space where clients feel empowered to explore their inner potential. My approach is grounded in building a collaborative and relational connection, ensuring that each client feels heard, supported, and safe throughout their journey.

My approach to therapy

I have certifications in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), I integrate these evidence-based modalities to address trauma, anxiety, and other complex emotional challenges. Additionally, I have extensive training in Somatic Experiencing (SE) allows me to incorporate the body-mind connection, helping clients access deeper levels of healing through regulation of the nervous system.

What you can expect from me

My therapeutic philosophy is not only about symptom relief but also about guiding clients toward a renewed sense of self-awareness, resilience, and emotional freedom.
