I am a licensed therapist based in Arizona with 12 years of professional experience, dedicated to helping individuals overcome challenges such as stress and anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship issues, trauma and abuse. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist with a focus on Sex Trafficking and Exploitation, I bring specialized knowledge to support those recovering from complex trauma.
My approach is holistic, integrating both mind and body to address the full spectrum of your well-being. I use a combination of therapy modalities, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Experiential Therapy. By engaging in experiential techniques, I aim to help you explore deeper emotional experiences and uncover new insights that promote healing and growth.
In our work together, I prioritize creating a safe, open, and non-judgmental space where you can express your thoughts and feelings freely. I understand that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, and I am here to walk alongside you in that journey. Together, we will work toward healing, self-discovery, and lasting change.
