I am a licensed clinical social worker and spouse of a former military member. I received my masters in social work from Arizona State University in 2014 and have dedicated my work to helping Veterans and their families since. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, and I have also helped many people who have experienced trauma or abuse.
I am a certified Cognitive Processing Therapist, which is the main intervention I use. Cognitive Processing Therapy is a modality used specifically for people who have experienced trauma. I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy for anxiety and depression. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and psychodynamic with mindfulness and relaxation techniques. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

I enjoy providing a space for individuals from all walks of life to speak, be heard, heal, grow, and explore themselves and the world around them.
I use an integrative, person-centered, straightforward approach alongside other select evidence based therapeutic modalities, and years of varied experience to connect with, collaboratively process through, and ultimately assess and address each unique individual and need.
I love working with teens, adults, and first responders, and have experience in a plethora of areas including anxiety, depression, relational issues, trauma, substance use, and so much more—you can truly come to me with just about anything. Please don't hesitate to reach out!
