Therapy Session in Arizona

My approach is warm, genuine, and nonjudgmental-- with a little humor and playfulness woven in along the way. I want my clients to feel safe being exactly who they are, whether that means talking through big emotions, laughing together, or simply taking things one step at a time. My primary modalities include EMDR, CBT, and DBT. My goal is to create a space where both children and parents feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow. I look forward to meeting you.

I'm here to support you every step of the way.
