In-Person in Prescott, AZ 86303
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, or struggling in your relationships, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel anxious, drained, or disconnected underneath.
I help adults build healthier boundaries, strengthen their sense of self-worth, and work through the patterns that keep them feeling stuck. My approach goes beyond surface-level coping, offering a space where you can gain clarity, feel understood, and create meaningful, lasting change.
If you're ready to feel more confident in yourself and your relationships, I’d be honored to support you.

Treatment Approach
- Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) A trauma-focused therapy that uses eye movements and imagery to help the brain reframe distressing memories. It often leads to quicker relief from symptoms compared to traditional talk therapy.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Experiential Therapy Involves hands-on activities to bring emotions into the present moment. It helps clients process feelings more deeply than through conversation alone.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI) A collaborative, client-centered approach that strengthens motivation for change. It is especially effective for addictions and health behaviors.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
Approach Description: My approach to therapy is both structured and deeply personalized. I integrate evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) with deeper, insight-oriented work through Internal Family Systems (IFS) and experiential techniques. I am an EMDRIA-certified EMDR therapist.

I work with adults who are experiencing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and relationship challenges, often rooted in past experiences that continue to impact how they think, feel, and relate to others. Many of my clients struggle with setting boundaries, people-pleasing, or feeling responsible for others while neglecting their own needs.
My approach is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing from CBT, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Rather than focusing only on symptom management, I help clients understand the deeper patterns driving their distress and develop a more compassionate and empowered relationship with themselves.
In our work together, we focus on building practical skills while also creating space for deeper healing. This often includes identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns, processing unresolved experiences, and strengthening your ability to respond to emotions in a healthier, more grounded way.
Clients often experience increased confidence, improved boundaries, greater emotional clarity, and a stronger sense of self-worth. Therapy is collaborative, supportive, and paced in a way that feels safe and manageable for you.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship stress, or the impact of past experiences, therapy can help you move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
