I earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific University and have received post-graduate training in Emotionally Focused Therapy, one off the most robust evidenced-based approaches. My passion is to help client's build strong, loving, and meaningful relationships with themselves and others. I specialize in couples counseling and and relationship therapy. In addition, I enjoy working with individuals with a range of needs-- relationship difficulties, grief & loss, desire to heal from past trauma, poor self-esteem, anxiety, depression, lack of meaning in life.
I have been working in the human services field since 2011. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from California State University, Fullerton with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Bachelor of Science in Human Services. In my undergraduate internship, I led groups of college students to help them gain self-awareness, heal from past trauma, work through conflict in an effective manner, and gain tools to improve their life.
My previous psychotherapy experience includes providing low-cost therapy services to various individuals, couples, and families at Hope Counseling Center and providing therapy to individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds, ages, and issues at Bayless Integrated Healthcare. I have also worked with children with ADHD, have ran parenting, self-exploration, interpersonal, and support groups. I have been asked to speak about teen dating violence for Telemundo Arizona.
I am incredibly honored to work with Phoenix-area couples and individuals by embarking on this journey of healing and self-growth.
