It is an honor to hold space for your experience and all that you have survived that has gotten you to this point. I value connection and authenticity and hope to embody that in our work together.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Arizona. I have worked as a therapist for 5 years, and in human services for 5 years before that. I earned a MA in Counseling from Northern Arizona University in 2015, and a BS in Foreign Service from Georgetown University in 2007.
I use a variety of techniques in my practice to best fit the person and the relationship. I am trained in Somatic Experiencing and the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) for resolving shock and developmental trauma. I use a person-centered approach and incorporate mindfulness, self-compassion, cognitive behavioral and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as relevant. I also think it is useful to analyze social factors that may be affecting mental health.
I have experience working with trauma including domestic violence/unhealthy relationships, sexual assault, child abuse; as well as depression, anxiety, grief, substance abuse, and family issues. I also believe that many of us in this society experience wounds in relationships or not enough of the connection and meaning that we so desperately need as humans. I compassionately acknowledge all the ways we suffer, and all the ways we have adapted to survive. We can also learn tools to notice and evaluate our thoughts, witness and contain our unexpressed emotions, and feel more present in our bodies. I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
