Hello, Thank you for taking the time to determine if we may be a good therapeutic match. I will share some background information so you can get to know me better. I am originally from the Midwest however I have called Arizona home for nearly 15 years. I have ten years of experience in my field and have worked in a variety of settings. I obtained my original licence (LMSW) in 2015 through the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health and have since superseded to (LCSW) which allows for independent clinical practice. I earned my bachelors degree in 2011 and my masters degree from ASU in 2012 through the Advanced Standing Program. I am experienced in working with individuals who have undergone various traumas such as domestic violence, physical and emotional abuse, abandonment, grief/loss, extreme poverty, as well as those who struggle with depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, and many other concerns. I have always had a passion for helping others who are suffering for any reason. I have been described as down to earth, easy to connect with, empathetic, and goal oriented. My counseling style is authentic, strengths based, and nonjudgmental. I tend to take a holistic approach and believe mental health is just as important as physical health. Every single person goes through difficult times. We were not put on this earth to go through difficult times alone. I believe everyone has a purpose and is entitled to respect, dignity, and compassion. I am experienced in a wide range of therapeutic techniques and tend to individualize treatment based on specific needs. Since we all have unique needs and situations, I do not have a cookie cutter approach to treatment. I will collaborate with you to create a treatment plan that meet your needs. You have already taken an important step in researching options to heal and/or cope with what you are going through. If you live in Arizona and are ready to get the ball rolling I am here to support and empower you. You do not have to go through it on your own. Seeking help when you need it is one of the most courageous things a person can do. I am typically available weekdays 9-3. Better help allows for sessions up to 45 minutes. I am able to accommodate some requests for appointment times outside of my posted schedule on some occasions. In order to provide quality care in accordance with the licensing board and my professions code of ethics I will ask for your identifying information before providing treatment. (Betterhelp is international and does not share your information with counselors-and every state has different requirements). This remains in HIPAA compliance and I will not contact you outside of better help unless an emergency requires me to do so. This is for safety and documentation guidelines. You can review my licensing information on the AZ board of behavioral health website: www.azbbhe.us Please reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to working with you!

Thank you for taking the time out to view my profile. Finding the right therapist to meet your individual needs is a very important step and I am hopeful that I will be able to assist you. I find great passion in assisting my clients in meeting and surpassing their full potential. After I obtained my Bachelors degree in Psychology, I continued my education and received a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am licensed in multiple states, a National Certified Counselor, a Certified Clinical Supervisor, and a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider. I have experience with working with individuals of all ages, ethnicities, races, religions, sexual orientations, and genders. Although I use multiple counseling techniques (Narrative Therapy, Person-Centered, Solution Focused, etc) in order to meet my client's individual needs, my work with clients is primarily from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy perspective. I believe that the connections between rationality and emotion as well as mind and body are essential in accomplishing behavioral change through logical thinking. Becoming more aware of damaging automatic thoughts and acquiring the ability to revise cognitions impacts one’s behaviors and ultimately may lead to positive change. In addition, I hold a great appreciation for the unconscious and the power it has over one’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The intimate process of making the unconscious conscious is a fundamental step toward growth, development, and change. Being able to recognize how unresolved conflicts from the past influence the present and manifests in unhealthy cyclical patterns gives one the power and confidence to take control. It is my belief that therapy is an intense, engaging, rewarding, and collaborative process. One of the main purposes of therapy is for one to gain a deeper understanding of self by exploring personal experiences, perspectives, and expectations. Regardless of the presenting issue, I provide my clients with a high level of respect, honesty, and genuineness. After successful completion of therapy, it is my hope that my clients will be able to incorporate what will be presented throughout therapy sessions into multiple life circumstances.
