Family therapy and counseling in Chandler, AZ

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a PsyD in Behavioral Health Leadership and Industrial/Organizational Psychology. I primarily work with adolescents and young adults, often incorporating family members to improve communication and relational patterns. I also work with professionals and athletes to strengthen mindset, reduce stress, and enhance performance using principles from mental performance and organizational psychology. My approach integrates CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to help clients build resilience, self-awareness, and meaningful, lasting growth.

My work focuses on helping individuals through life transitions whether that be in the form of grief, trauma or overall changes happening and causing disruption to your life. I have been in the therapy world for 6 years now and prior worked in community focused organizations. I have training in trauma-informed therapy, as a death comadre, CPP, and perinatal mental health.

I'm a Licensed Master and Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience helping people through some of life's hardest moments. I work with individuals, families, and groups, and I have specialized training in trauma, eating disorders, and sexual health concerns. I'm also passionate about the bigger picture — how the world around us affects our mental health — and I bring that perspective into my work. I'm currently accepting new clients.

As a LPC in the state of Arizona, I work in my private practice (Castle Counseling) with the adult population providing telehealth individual counseling services. My background includes experience in multiple settings such as hospitals, inpatient/outpatient clinics, domestic violence shelter, group homes and private practice. I work with a number of mental illnesses, stress management, life transitions/adjustments, and have a strong focus on past/present trauma.

As a counselor, I approach therapy through a humanistic lens—believing in each person’s inherent capacity for growth, self-awareness, and change. I do my best to create a space where clients feel deeply seen, heard, and valued for who they are. My work is grounded in cultural humility and respect, honoring the unique identities, experiences, and stories that shape each person’s life. Together, we explore meaning, build resilience, and move toward greater authenticity and well-being.

I am a licensed psychotherapist with more than 12 years of experience in private practice and currently see clients in Arizona and Nevada. While I work with a wide range of issues and populations, much of my recent work has focused on adults ages 20 to 35, particularly around relationships and personal growth.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate relationship challenges, relationship addiction, finding their voice within relationships, healing after breakups, and becoming the healthiest, most authentic version of themselves while in partnership with others.

Another area of passion for me is working with older adults who are facing major life transitions or serving as caregivers for an ill spouse or aging parent. I also specialize in trauma and PTSD treatment, helping clients heal from some of life's most painful experiences.

When I am not in the therapy office, I enjoy teaching psychology courses at the local college, combining my love of education with my commitment to supporting growth and resilience across all stages of life!

As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 10 years, I work with a plethora of inter-generational clients aged 21-90 who are struggling with anxiety and depression and trauma.

As a chaplain, I take a psycho-spiritual approach and work with clients assisting with intercultural issues, blended family dynamics, religiosity challenges and grief & loss.

I help clients manage anxiety, depression, and stress one step at a time by offering practical tools and supportive, empowering therapy in a safe, nonjudgmental space.
