About
Hi! I am a Licensed Associate Counselor & I enjoy working with both teens and adults. I have a passion for older adolescents & transition-aged youth (16-26yrs). I will meet you where you are, from a warm & nonjudgmental place. I approach counseling from a person-centered, strengths-based & identity-affirming approach. I believe that everyone deserves to feel safe, heard & empowered to live in joy as their authentic selves. I consider empathy, validation & humor as the key to building a strong therapeutic alliance. "If a person is understood, he or she (or they) belongs." -Carl Rogers View 5 Photos The therapy process will be unique to who you are & may incorporate practices from CBT, DBT, LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy, inner-child healing & trauma-informed interventions. I am a Certified Yoga Teacher & I believe in the mind-body-spirit connection. Our work may include mindfulness, grounding, movement, conscious breathing, art & somatic exercises. I am a Tucson native & an engaged member of the Tucson community. I am an activist for LGBTQIA+ rights, reproductive freedom & social justice. I believe in multicultural & post-modern feminist counseling theories which recognize the reality of systemic barriers that impact our lives and health. I am committed to building safe communities for us all.
