I am a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC-23953), working under the supervision of Elsa Peña, LCSW. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Grand Canyon University and a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northern Arizona University. I approach therapy with a warm, curious, and compassionate presence, creating space for clients to explore their inner experiences with safety and authenticity. My main therapeutic style consists of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I enjoy working with neurodivergent teens and adults. I am passionate about trauma-informed care and strive to support clients with a sense of empowerment and trust as they process difficult experiences. Some of my interests include working with teens, and individuals navigating anxiety, depression, relational challenges, OCD, neurodivergence, and the inner struggles that can feel hard to carry alone.
