What's My Approach to Therapy?

Many adults feel anxious and stressed when trying to reach their personal and career goals, all while trying to balance the daily demands. Ignoring these feelings can take a toll on your mind and body. I take a mindful approach to help clients develop a sense of joy and peace. Clients describe me as a calming presence that helps them feel grounded. I have even been known to teach mindfulness strategies during our session. It can be scary to be present in dark moments, but I support and guide you to shift negative thinking and learned patterns into healthy ones. I’m a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) practicing in Arizona with a Master’s degree from the University of Arizona. I support clients in English and Spanish.
