Helping people get through difficult times, master challenges, rise to the level of their angst regarding circumstances…That is what’s important to me. I have done therapy/worked in the field of mental health, for over 25 years. Using Cognitive Behavioral and Solution Focused foundations, I will partner with you, using a virtual platform, to address root causes of depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems and stress. You will improve communication skills, gain insight, self-worth, and problem resolution. You will evolve, and see a clear path to forward movement.

I grew up in Riverside CA. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, in 1989, and my Masters in Marital and Family Therapy in 2002. I moved to AZ in 2005, and I became licensed as a Professional Counselor (LPC) in 2008. I have worked with a myriad of populations; Individuals (teens, men, women, older adults), families, and couples, addressing a variety of issues. I am a wife (of 24 years) and a mother of 1 daughter. The milestones in my life have been momentous. They have added meaning to my life in ways I couldn’t have imagined. However, the journey was not without doubts, disappointments, and lows. Life is truly a marathon, and none are exempt from the aches and pains that occur along the way. Coping, managing, and learning how to be resilient is key to moving forward.

My Hobbies:
Unfortunately, I am a fan of reality TV (escapism at it’s best). Likewise, occasionally, my daughter and I will binge watch Netflix. In terms of being active, I try to squeeze in a work out a couple times a week and I like bike riding when the weather is nice. As a family, we enjoy going out to dinner here and there, and hanging out together at home. My husband and I like comedy, so we try to catch a show from time to time. Although doing therapy is my dream job, my second option would be an Interior Designer. I definitely have a creative side. I love HGTV.

I belive that therapy is a partnership between therapist and client…Relational. My clients show up and actively participate in their healing. I am fortunate enough to be along for the ride as I support and help them navigate

I want to show you how Therapy, having someone to talk to and learning new skills can change your life. Allow me to be part of your journey.
