I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Arizona with over 25 years of experience in the mental health field. I earned my Master of Social Work in 1997 and my Bachelor of Science in Justice Studies in 1990, both from Arizona State University. I have also completed the requirements to serve as an Approved Clinical Supervisor in Arizona.

My professional experience includes inpatient and outpatient mental health settings, community-based services, and private practice, where I have worked since 2008. I have extensive experience supporting at-risk adolescents and adults with serious mental illness (SMI), as well as individuals facing substance use challenges.

I specialize in evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing, resilience skills development, and trauma-informed care. My work focuses on helping veterans, couples, and adults address a wide range of mental health concerns and life challenges.

I currently provide both in-person and telehealth services through my private practice in Arizona and collaborate with multiple Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) and commercial insurance providers to increase access to care.
