Virtual & in-person • 15 mi away • Chandler, AZ


Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, a challenging relationship, loss of sense of self, etc. that affects your day-to-day life, relationships, ability to function, our work or career? Do you feel emotional, exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated, lost by different but relatable problems, trying to live up to someone else’s standards, getting through the day, answering call, emails, texts, the thought of there is no light at the end of the tunnel? Do you question, wonder or hope that life could be better? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed or uncertain about the overall struggle you are focusing on where it be a difficult relationship, working through a loss, finding your place in life or moving past assault.

Clients often describe me as open-minded, empowering, and easy to talk to. I believe healing happens when you feel safe, accepted, and not alone, and that’s the kind of environment we’ll build together.
