About me
As a licensed therapist in Arizona, I bring over two decades of professional experience supporting individuals through complex life transitions and personal challenges. My approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each client's unique journey, with specialized expertise in relationship dynamics, self-esteem development, and navigating significant life changes.
I focus on helping clients address a wide range of concerns, including communication difficulties, isolation, life purpose exploration, workplace challenges, and personal growth. My therapeutic practice centers on empowering individuals to develop stronger self-understanding, heal from past experiences, and create meaningful pathways forward.
Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I provide supportive guidance for diverse challenges such as midlife transitions, young adult issues, multicultural concerns, and personal healing from complex emotional experiences. My commitment is to create a safe, affirming space where clients can explore their strengths, work through obstacles, and cultivate genuine self-compassion.
