I believe people can build the lives they want to live by aligning themselves with their values, which may shift with the various seasons of life.

I have 14+ years of experience working in diverse mental health capacities. I earned a masters degree in sociology that informs my focus on context; as well as a masters in clinical mental health counseling that guided me in helping individuals most effectively. Currently, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating gender expression, sexual orientation, neurodiversity, disabilities, and minority stress. I offer a non-judgmental, compassionate space where you can feel understood, heal, and make meaningful changes. Together, we’ll work toward your personal goals, cultivating a life that aligns with your values and true self.

When a family is ravaged by addiction - of any kind - everyone is affected and everyone needs to heal. At Love With Boundaries Addiction Family Counselling, we work with the family members first, so that they can make the changes they need to make to truly help the addicts they love. The results we achieve are amazing - the addicts and their families begin to make healthier life choices so that recovery from the devastation of addiction leads to their new way of life.

My goal is to help you identify and resolve issues that may be preventing you from getting more of what you want in life. My style is warm and empathic, yet I can be challenging when it is needed in order to achieve growth.

Peoria is a large northwest Phoenix suburb stretching from established neighborhoods near Glendale up to Lake Pleasant's fast-growing master-planned communities, popular with both young families and retirees and known for its spring training baseball complex. Mental health needs span parenting and family stress in newer subdivisions, retirement adjustment, and the relocation loneliness common in a city where many residents are recent arrivals. Phoenix's West Valley provider network and the metro's broader therapy market serve the community.
