Whatever you’re carrying, it deserves attention. Maybe you’re a teenager trying to make sense of who you are in a world that keeps shifting beneath you. Maybe you’re an adult whose anxiety or depression has become so familiar it no longer feels like a symptom. Maybe you’re an older adult sitting with grief, transition, and questions about what this chapter of life is supposed to mean. Wherever you are, I work with you — not a version of you that’s easier to treat, but the full, complicated, real one. What I bring to that work isn’t just clinical range, though I have that. It’s the perspective that comes from over a decade across outpatient, intensive outpatient, and inpatient settings, serving as a clinical director, supervising clinicians toward licensure, and training the next generation of therapists at universities across Arizona. That kind of career doesn’t just build skill. It builds a clinician who has seen enough to know that the most important thing in the room is never the framework. It’s the relationship. I’m an Arizona native, grounded and genuinely easy to be around. I value humor and believe lightheartedness belongs in the therapy room, not as a way of sidestepping the hard stuff, but as a reminder that healing doesn’t have to feel relentlessly heavy. I work with people navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, co-occurring conditions, and complex life transitions, and I meet all of it with warmth, steadiness, and real clinical depth. What I’m working toward with every client is a better relationship with yourself and the people around you. More insight. More purpose. A life that feels more like yours. Whether you’re just beginning to understand what you’re carrying or you’ve been at this work for years, we’ll build from there.

My approach is humanistic at its core, which means I start with you as a whole person, not a diagnosis or a presenting concern. I draw on CBT, TF-CBT, DBT, IFS, EFT, existential therapy, and reminiscence therapy, always shaped around your strengths, your identity, and your lived experience. For trauma, I bring focused approaches that address both the cognitive and emotional roots of what you’ve been through. For older adults navigating grief, identity shifts, or major transitions, reminiscence therapy offers a way to reconnect with meaning and purpose through the lens of a life fully lived. The approach always follows you, never the other way around.

The first session is a conversation. I want to understand who you are, what’s brought you in, and what you’re hoping for. I want you to leave with a genuine sense of whether we’re a good fit. I’ll ask questions, listen carefully, and share my initial thoughts honestly. You won’t feel processed or evaluated. You’ll feel like you’ve had a real conversation with someone who is genuinely interested in you and already thinking about how to help. That’s where we start, and in my experience, it’s the most important session of all.
