SCOTTSDALE

I am a compassionate and dedicated counselor with a true passion for helping individuals navigate their mental health journeys. I began my career in mental health in 2019, working in crisis stabilization, where I developed a deep commitment to providing support during times of acute distress. Since then, my passion for this work has only grown.  I work  with teens and adults, providing general mental health counseling. I specialize in using EMDR for OCD and Trauma, and addiction. In addition to using EMDR, I also incorporate mindfulness-based practices, humanistic-existential therapy,  Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS).   I view healing as a process of learning to observe, accept, and respond to our emotions. In my practice, I provide a safe, compassionate space where we can gently reflect on your struggles and explore what may be causing your distress. My goal is to help you gain understanding, foster resilience, and create meaningful change in your life.  I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Montana State University and a Master's degree  in Counseling, which I completed in 2023. I am deeply committed to your growth and am  honored to walk with you on your journey toward healing.
