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.

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.

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.

Phoenix's extreme summer heat and sprawling, car-dependent geography contribute to social isolation and depression, with many residents spending months in largely indoor environments with limited organic social contact. The city has grown rapidly through domestic migration, and therapists frequently work with the disconnection and loneliness that can accompany life in a place where many people lack long-established roots and community ties. Phoenix has a significant veteran population, and therapists specializing in military trauma, PTSD, and veteran family concerns are well represented. Banner Health and Dignity Health provide major institutional mental health resources, with a large private practice community serving Scottsdale, Tempe, and the East Valley.
