About

I am an independently licensed therapist in Arizona with over 12 years of experience working in community healthcare. Since 2015, my work has primarily been dedicated to equity [not equality, we don't all need or want the same] and inclusion in marginalized communities, namely in the LGBTQIA+ community. My training and licensure have been intentionally chosen to bring about diverse learning and to remain ever curious as a therapist and individual. I am dedicated to connecting 'purpose' and 'meaning' to the 'self'. To say this in a different way: your pathway is one that is valid, significant, important, and solely yours to decide which steps bring benefit. To me, this is unconditional and never needs apologies; instead, natural consequences help attune the 'intuition'. I lean strongly into the framework that we all live dynamic lives where any one characteristic is no more important than the whole 'self' nor can the whole ‘self’ be acknowledged without each characteristic. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion; my previous 3 years in community health center work was spent training and developing accessible and--truly integrated—DEI-B [diversity, equity, inclusivity and belonging] in one of Arizona's largest integrated-health centers. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs as I join alongside you in this journey you now take. Trust is first, and foremost the best place to begin any therapeutic experience; let's take this step together.
