About My Clients

I work with teens, adults, couples, and families managing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, ADHD, and relationship challenges. Many of my clients come through EAP and DOT-required SAP evaluations. They are navigating difficult seasons, feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or carrying more than they should on their own. I also work with clients seeking faith-based counseling. My clients come from all walks of life, and I take pride in leading a diverse team.

My Background and Approach

With nearly 25 years of experience in behavioral health, I bring a trauma-informed, client-centered approach to every session. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and certified SAP provider, I have spent my career helping individuals heal from trauma, manage anxiety and depression, strengthen relationships, and build healthier coping strategies. At Bridge Consulting Services in Phoenix, Arizona, I lead a diverse team of licensed clinicians and associate therapists. My approach draws from EMDR, CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care, tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. I also offer faith-based counseling for clients who want to integrate their spiritual values into the therapeutic process. I believe therapy should feel safe, personal, and grounded in genuine respect. Whether a client comes to us through an EAP, insurance, or private pay, they receive the same level of care and attention. We offer in-person therapy at our Phoenix office and telehealth across Arizona.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe every person has the capacity to heal, grow, and move forward — even when life feels overwhelming. Therapy is not about being broken. It is about being human and having the courage to ask for support. I believe healing happens best in a space that feels safe, nonjudgmental, and genuinely respectful. Every client deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued regardless of their background, identity, or circumstances. I believe in meeting people where they are, not where someone else thinks they should be. I also believe faith can be a powerful part of the healing journey for those who choose to incorporate it. My spiritual foundation guides how I lead and how I show up for the people I serve. I believe in the strength of community and the importance of representation. Our team at Bridge Consulting Services reflects the diversity of the people we serve in Phoenix, and that matters.
