Thank you for stopping by. My goal is to help others. Whether you want to grow in knowledge, move forward and heal from the past or to be the best version of yourself, I am here to assist you.

As a survivor of childhood trauma and complex PTSD, I have transformed my experiences into a source of strength, resilience, and purpose. Today, I embrace life with gratitude and find joy in both the small and significant moments it offers. While healing is an ongoing journey, I no longer allow the challenges of my past to define or limit
As a survivor of childhood trauma and complex PTSD, I have transformed my experiences into a source of strength, resilience, and purpose. Today, I embrace life with gratitude and find joy in both the small and significant moments it offers. While healing is an ongoing journey, I no longer allow the challenges of my past to define or limit me. Instead, my experiences have deepened my passion for supporting others in their own healing and growth.
Throughout my journey, I have learned the importance of self-care and maintaining balance. When I am not in the office, you can often find me hiking, paddleboarding along the Salt River, or spending time in nature. Being outdoors, especially among Arizona’s beautiful landscapes and wild horses, helps me stay grounded, connected, and renewed.
Do you want balance? I assist you in achieving balance.
As a neurodivergent individual who did not receive an official diagnosis until later in life, I have firsthand experience navigating the challenges of feeling different, misunderstood, or outside of societal expectations.

As a neurodivergent individual who did not receive an official diagnosis until later in life, I have firsthand experience navigating the challenges of feeling different, misunderstood, or outside of societal expectations. My journey has taught me the importance of self-awareness, self-acceptance, and prioritizing my own well-being. By doing so, I have grown into a more confident and resilient version of myself. While I continue to face challenges, I have developed effective strategies to manage them and navigate life with greater ease and confidence. Are you looking for self-acceptance and confidence? I can help.
I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients—whether you’re new to therapy or seeking healing approaches that extend beyond traditional talk therapy. My clients include therapists, healthcare providers, and work-from-home professionals, as well as artists, game designers, and other creative or healing-oriented individuals.
I also have a passion for working with neurodivergent clients. As someone who is neurodivergent myself, I bring both lived experience and clinical understanding into our work together. My therapy practice includes various modalities, such as Brainspotting Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Deep Brain Reorienting, EMDR Therapy, and Internal Family Systems, as I believe each person carries a unique story shaped by their experiences, challenges, and strengths.
As Shrek famously said, “Ogres are like onions — they have layers.” While people aren’t onions, our lives are layered and complex. This analogy resonates with me as it reminds me to remain curious. Curiosity helps me avoid assumptions and instead create space to truly understand the person sitting across from me. In this way, therapy becomes collaborative, respectful, and deeply attuned.
I believe the brain has an incredible capacity for healing. However, it can sometimes become stuck in patterns, behaviors, or unresolved experiences. Together, we work gently and intentionally to help your system move toward greater flexibility, integration, and healing.
I bring years of diverse clinical experience into the therapy room, including work with the Department of Child Safety, community mental health programs, inpatient hospital settings, intensive outpatient groups, partial hospitalization programs for substance use, veteran and law enforcement settings, and private practice.
If you’re curious about working together, I invite you to reach out. I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation so we can connect and see whether we’re a good fit.
Wherever you are in your journey, I wish you healing and growth in whatever form that may take.
Brainspotting Therapy is a powerful, focused therapeutic approach that helps identify, process, and release the underlying neurophysiological sources of emotional and physical pain, trauma, dissociation, and other challenging symptoms. This method works by accessing the brain and body’s natural ability to heal, allowing deeper experiences and memories to be processed in a safe and contained way, similar to techniques used in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR Therapy.
Brainspotting serves as both a diagnostic and treatment method, often enhanced with bilateral sound to support deeper processing while helping the nervous system remain regulated and focused. This approach can be effective for a wide range of emotional and somatic concerns, much like Deep Brain Reorienting and Internal Family Systems therapy. I am certified in Brainspotting and currently serve as a Brainspotting consultant.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR Therapy) is a powerful psychotherapy approach that has helped millions of people of all ages reduce various forms of psychological distress. Well-researched and highly effective, EMDR is particularly beneficial for treating traumatic stress and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
When practiced properly, EMDR Therapy does not involve immediately revisiting traumatic stories. The process starts with building skills and resources, allowing clients to safely experience difficult sensations, emotions, and memories without becoming overwhelmed. From there, EMDR assists the brain in reprocessing experiences so that they no longer carry the same emotional intensity or reactivity. I am certified in EMDR and serve as an EMDR consultant-in-training. Resource: www.EMDRIA.org
In addition to EMDR, I also specialize in Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), a trauma-focused psychotherapy that engages the brainstem and deeper brain systems involved in threat detection and attachment. DBR aids in accessing and processing trauma by gently tracking the original sequence of physiological responses that occurred when the deep brain first detected a threat or experienced an attachment disruption. I have completed Level 2 training in Deep Brain Reorienting. Resource: www.deepbrainreorienting.com
Furthermore, I incorporate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Internal Family Systems to offer a comprehensive approach to healing. Additionally, I am trained in Brainspotting Therapy, which can further enhance the therapeutic process.
