I am passionate about building trusting relationships with my clients and creating a safe environment from which to facilitate change and coping. I work with adolescents and young adults who have experienced traumatic events, with an emphasis on traumatic grief and loss. I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy to help clients alleviate symptoms of trauma. I am available to provide services via a secure online video platform to clients in Arizona and Utah. I obtained my Master's In Social Work in 2011, then Doctorate in Behavioral Health in 2015, both at Arizona State University. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, and am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy. My treatment approach is strengths-based and integrative in nature. It is my view that anything that can be done to reduce harm and emotional discomfort is valuable. I believe strongly in client self-determination and that we each have inherent strong and effective tools for change within us.
