I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Rise and Renew Wellness. I want you to know you are worthy of healing, and making time for yourself is an act of courage. I believe it’s no coincidence you’re here, and I’m honored to support you as you take this step toward the life you were created for. My approach is built on a Mind-Body-Spirit framework. I use evidence-based tools like CBT to renew the mind and EMDR to release trauma stored in the body. Together, we engage the Spirit to bring lasting restoration to your soul. This is a place where you can finally be vulnerable, get to the root of the pain, and change your story for good. By offering online counseling in Arizona, I protect your precious time—no commutes, no waiting rooms—just a safe, confidential space to breathe and heal. It's a privilege to work alongside you.
