Hey there. We all start somewhere as we find our way back to ourselves. 

​

Undoing the wounds and harmful messages we have experienced can often feel lonely and it is my desire to walk alongside you, to bear witness to you, in a safe, secure, and honest therapeutic relationship based on trust and unconditional positive regard. I see myself as a fellow traveler, the one in the passenger’s seat sometimes giving directions or pointing out interesting things I notice.

The goal is that you feel empowered to understand yourself more fully as well as to create new stories, behaviors, thought patterns, and ways of being that allow for a more functional and adaptive life.  

 

 I enjoy working with individuals across various ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds, with a desire to serve those from marginalized communities. I am a LGBTQ+ affirming therapist and desire to create a space of safety and inclusion. I utilize a person centered mind-body approach with a variety of techniques including narrative therapy, IFS, somatic techniques and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I also utilize  Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when behavioral skills are needed. My focus includes the effect systems have on each individual including racism, poverty, misogyny, family systems, social systems, systemic injustice. & oppression. 

 

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker LMSW #18797 in the state of Arizona and graduated  with a Masters in Social Work from Arizona State University.

I am clinically supervised by Lynn Sorenson, LCSW #15265 as I work towards independent licensure.
