Therapists in Mesa, AZ

I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner providing thoughtful, evidence-based mental health care for adults. I focus on creating a supportive, collaborative environment where patients feel heard and respected while working together toward meaningful improvement in their mental health.

I am an intern counselor working towards my Master’s of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Fuller Theological Seminary. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Behavioral Health Science from Grand Canyon University and have previously worked as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). As an RBT, I learned how to create therapeutic relationships, abide by ethical standards, and utilize constructive feedback. I have also co-led young adult Bible studies/small groups and in my freetime I enjoy volunteering, working out, and spending time with family and friends. I grew a passion to counsel others through my own experience with mental health and realizing that we can find freedom through our pain. I value the importance of a healthy spirit, mind, and body and providing a non-judgmental space to help foster your authenticity and growth. I’d, therefore, love to walk alongside you and help you take your first steps toward healing.

Each individual is unique and I understand that. One-size-fits-all approaches will never help you reach full potential. You are one-of-a-kind and together we embrace your challenges and seek the best ways to navigate and move toward a healthier and happier version of you. I am trained in a wide variety of theoretical models and intervention techniques to help facilitate your becoming the best version of yourself. I am passionate about helping people identify the thoughts, emotions and behaviors that keep them from living to their fullest. Together we implement evidence based approaches based on the goals and uniqueness of you. I utilize psychotherapy, mindfulness, sport & performance skills, neurofeedback, expressive arts therapy and equine assisted psychotherapy. You don’t have to feel the same tomorrow as you do today. There are many ways in which less than ideal patterns can be changed. Find a path to a better you, no matter your age, background or history – there’s opportunity for a better you!
