As your therapist, I will provide you a space of safety and acceptance where you can reconnect with your power and tenderness. My approach is eclectic, insight-oriented, and rooted in compassion-focused and trauma-informed care. The modalities I tend to draw on include acceptance and commitment and mindfulness-based cognitive therapies. I am committed to LGBTQIA+ affirming care, harm reduction, and anti-oppressive practice.

I am especially passionate about supporting people experiencing reproductive mental health challenges and have advanced training in this area. Focus issues include: perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, birth trauma/processing/integration, termination, menstrually related mood disorders. I am also drawn to working with adults who are seeking to work through self-esteem, perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-harm, attachment, or identity and emerging adulthood concerns.

I graduated with a Master’s in Counseling and emphasis in Clinical Mental Health and Rehabilitation. Outside of the therapy room, I support several research studies on biopsychosocial determinants of reproductive health at the University of Arizona College of Nursing. I come into the therapy room with my own lived experiences and use these gathered learnings to cultivate a therapeutic environment that is warm with empathy and appreciation for the courage that growth requires. I have both experienced and witnessed the catharsis and meaningful change that therapy can inspire. I hope to offer that light to you as a partner in your journey towards healing.

Warmly, ​
