Hello! I began my education and practice in Flagstaff, AZ with working with a student population as well as public mental health. I come from a background as a hairstylist/spa worker and a yoga teacher, and I understand the mind body connection with mental health and use holistic techniques to work with this. My work and focus with clients is to help explore present day issues/needs with looking into history and childhood with a more compassionate lens and understanding. Learning mindfulness skills and reframing unhelpful beliefs can help to redirect the mind through daily practice, and eventually processing traumas help even more to shift towards healthier ways of thinking and feeling. Now seeing clients in Payson, AZ for in office sessions of anywhere in AZ for telehealth. My role is to guide with an empathetic view, using different modalities including CBT, DBT, art therapy, somatic approaches, parts perspectives, EMDR, and EFT tapping to reduce depression, anxiety, and cope better with stress. Beginning with just talk therapy, and expressing feelings is a good place to start on this journey.
