I have extensive experience working with families—including both birth and foster families—involved in DCS care, as well as individuals navigating substance use and mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, and grief. Through this work, I have supported clients in managing complex family dynamics, coping with loss and transition, and building skills to support long-term stability and well-being.

Most recently, I worked in a primary care setting, where I gained a deeper understanding of the connection between physical and mental health. This experience has strengthened my awareness of how chronic health conditions can impact emotional well-being, stress levels, and overall quality of life. I integrate this perspective into my work, helping clients address both the emotional and practical aspects of living with ongoing health challenges.

Something keeps pulling you back into the same patterns, the anxiety that returns no matter how much you manage it, the grief that hasn't had room to land, or the relationship dynamic you've tried to change but can't quite shift. I work with women navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, and relationship challenges, helping them understand what's driving those patterns and how to start making choices that come from the inside out. My approach pays attention to the whole person, including what your body is telling you, not just what your mind is saying. Clients often describe me as someone who helps them understand themselves in ways they hadn't expected.

Welcome, I look forward to working with you.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I offer counseling and therapy services via Telehealth, to adult persons in Arizona and Washington State. I've been working in the field for over 20 years, and have found in the last 10, that for most people, the online option has worked just as well as in person.

I'm LGBTQIA+ affirming and actively work with men who are ready to take their mental health seriously. I believe you already have strengths you may not be giving yourself credit for. Clients often describe me as direct, clear, and collaborative.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Tempe, AZ

Searching for therapists in Tempe starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or major life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Tempe has a steady range of therapy options, with care available near central areas like Mill Avenue, Arizona State University, South Tempe, and surrounding East Valley communities. If a nearby office fits your routine, in-person therapy may be a good match. If your schedule changes often, virtual therapy can give you more appointment options across Arizona. To narrow your search, review whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and what sessions may be like.

Therapy in Tempe can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse therapists in Tempe, review profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
