Introduction

Therapy doesn't have to be just talking about what's wrong—it can be a space to connect to deeper experiences in your internal and external world. In my work with individuals and couples, I blend somatic and relational approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO), EMDR , Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Brainspotting to untangle chronic symptoms, pain, anxiety, trauma, or ease relationship stress. Whether you're feeling stuck in old, familiar patterns, navigating life transitions, or looking to reconnect with a sense of ease in yourself or with those you care about, my goal is to help you move into genuine presence and compassion. We'll work together on your vision, preferences, and the needs of your nervous system to bring meaning into the therapy space. I offer online individual and couples therapy to clients across Arizona. I am in-network with most Aetna commercial plans (though not Medicare or Medicare Advantage), and have an out-of-network rate. For clients in financial need, we can talk about a sliding scale or a superbill you can submit for potential reimbursement.
