Therapist

I am a grief- and trauma-informed, neuro-affirming therapist who brings both professional training and lived experience to my work. I’ve personally navigated profound deaths in my life—my dad and my partner—which reshaped how I understand grief, trauma, and identity. These experiences inform how I hold space: with depth, honesty, and attunement, rather than trying to “fix” someone.

I work primarily with adults, sometimes couples or families, offering therapy, experiential interventions, and assessments, including MIGDAS-2 for adult autism. My approach is integrative, blending evidence-based modalities—like EMDR, ART, DBR, hypnotherapy, somatic work, mindfulness, and ketamine-assisted therapy—with relational and identity-centered support.

Off the clock, I share my life with my husband and two dogs, Bisbee and Rio, and value intuition, quiet reflection, and everyday moments of insight and magic. I believe lasting change comes from consistent, relational, and thoughtfully paced work—helping clients reconnect with themselves, their values, and what truly matters.

Therapist

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience in community behavioral health and trauma-informed care, I bring both professional knowledge and genuine empathy into my sessions. I earned my Master’s degree from Grand Canyon University and have spent years supporting adults, adolescents, and families through times of transition, recovery, and growth.

My work is deeply shaped by witnessing the resilience of the human spirit—how healing becomes possible when we feel seen, supported, and safe to explore what hurts. I understand that therapy is both a brave and vulnerable step, and my intention is to create a space where you can show up as you are and begin reconnecting with your own strength and direction.
