About My Clients
I have worked with families, teens, couples, parents, and children in many capacities over the last 20 years and look forward to supporting you. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work from a family systems perspective, understanding that a person is shaped and affected by their familial, cultural, and spiritual circles. I utilize attachment-based, and trauma-informed, mindfulness approaches to explore behavioral patterns, identify emotional needs, and process past/present hardships.
My Background and Approach
I create a safe and comfortable environment where children, teens, couples and individuals can feel supported in their sharing, growth, and healing. As a Certified Child Life Specialist for Phoenix Children’s Hospital, I gained extensive experience supporting children and parents through in trauma, loss, diagnosis and life changes. I have extensive experience and training in anxiety, trauma, grief, relationships and loss with both children and adults, medical trauma, parenting, child and adolescent development, the transition to parenthood and life transitions. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) and EFT (Emotion Focused Therapy) for couples. I specialize in preteen and teen anxiety and depression. I see children from 8-18 for a variety of presenting concerns. I also specialize in couples work. If you and your partner are feeling disconnected or finding yourselves in the same cycles of feelings and communication I can help!
