About Me

Whether you have lived with an ongoing sense of disconnection from others and humiliation most of your life, or have experienced some intense painful events that stick with you, I can help you! You may have been diagnosed in the past with “Major Depressive Disorder” or “Social Anxiety Disorder” or “Borderline Personality Disorder” and other therapists haven’t been able to help, but I would be glad to assist you in your healing journey through counseling. I have advanced training and supervision in order to aid you with your recovery and healing. Are you wondering if therapy is worth it? I say, Yes! There is so much power in speaking about what happened to you, sharing what you are feeling and thinking that can begin to reduce your symptoms. In many cases, once you do this, you no longer meet the criteria for that diagnosis. What if I can’t speak about what happened to me? If you have asked yourself this – have hope – EMDR Therapy is a powerful tool that we can use – and you won’t have to tell the story or even journal anything that happened, if you don’t want to. I use a combination of EMDR Therapy, ACT, Mindfulness and Ego State work depending on what you need. I also have a few other modalities. Please use the links here to reach out to me and schedule a 15-minute phone consultation. If other Clinicians want more information: I'm still a California girl at heart, and I've loved living in Arizona for more than 20 years now. The journey to becoming a mental health therapist started in 2003 when I graduated with my MA-Counseling Psychology. I quickly became interested in working with trauma, anxiety and depression. I specialize in OCD, panic and addictive behaviors type treatment as well. In 2009, I was trained in EMDR Therapy. I've been using it ever since. I have specialty training in many areas--Dissociation, panic, addiction, OCD, anger, developmental trauma, Ego-state, IFS, parts work.
