I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Arizona. I have over 8 years’ experience in the mental health profession, being independently licensed for the last 4 years. Prior to this, I gained invaluable experience in various roles in the foster care and child welfare system. This experience has given me a passion for supporting families through counseling and helping adults process and overcome challenges from their past. As a licensed counselor, I have experience helping children, adolescents, and adults with areas of concern including anxiety, depression, life adjustments, self-esteem, relationships, and parenting challenges. I provide supportive listening, respect, and collaboration with you to create a safe space for you to be transparent with your struggles and needs. I believe all of us can benefit from additional support at times in our lives and am glad you are reaching out for that support. While the work itself may be challenging, I hope to make the counseling process natural and as comfortable as possible for you. I draw from various therapy approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing in order to best meet your needs. I always strive to put things in plain language and help you find practical solutions and strategies to thrive wherever you find yourself in life.
