Scottsdale, Gilbert and Virtual Locations

I am a Licensed Associate Counselor whose goal is to create a trusting therapeutic relationship that helps individuals feel safe and have a voice and to heal.  I work with clients of all ages, including children and adolescents, and offer resources that promote behavioral change in their personal growth.

I apply a person-centered therapeutic approach, recognizing that my clients are the expert of their own lives. My role is to guide clients to understand or discover the root causes of their problems. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, which is primarily used to effectively process past trauma. I am also currently pursuing my certification in Expressive Art Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and families.

I received my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health from Southern Arkansas University and am pursuing my independent licensure through the AZBBHE. I am currently working under the supervision of Charise Schwertfeger, LMFT, at Affinity Counseling.

Please contact me to discuss your needs further.  I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation to help us get acquainted and discuss how I can best assist you.
