Hello! I’m licensed in both Missouri and Arizona, and I work with teens and adults. I offer telehealth appointments for clients in Missouri and both in-person and telehealth appointments in the Mesa, Arizona area. My experience includes inpatient and private practice settings, where I’ve supported people from diverse cultures and backgrounds. My practice is inclusive and welcoming, including to members of the LGBTQ+ community.
My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I strive to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and comfortable discussing what matters to you. I tailor therapy to your needs, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-focused therapy, person-centered therapy, and mindfulness. Together, we’ll build on your strengths and develop practical tools to support meaningful, lasting change.
Our first session is an opportunity to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, the challenges you’re facing, and what you hope to gain from our work together. You can share at a pace that feels comfortable for you, and you’ll have space to ask questions. We’ll begin identifying meaningful goals that reflect your values and needs, with the aim of helping you leave with a clearer sense of direction and next steps.
