Owner, Clinical Supervisor, Licensed Therapist
PhD, LMFT
Starting therapy can feel like a big step—but you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to offer a space where you feel both supported and challenged, so meaningful change can take root. I believe that healing begins when we bring awareness, compassion, and intention to the parts of ourselves that need care.​I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, trauma, anxiety, and perfectionism.
As the spouse of a retired American soldier, I have a deep appreciation for the experiences of first responders, military personnel, and their loved ones. I am especially passionate about supporting those in high-stress professions and helping them find balance, resilience, and connection.​
Clients often describe me as authentic, honest, and refreshingly direct. I combine compassion with candor to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can explore, grow, and heal. Together, we’ll work to understand patterns that keep you stuck and build the tools you need to move forward with confidence.​
With over 15 years of clinical experience and a doctoral degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, I bring both academic knowledge and real-world understanding to every session. I am an Approved Supervisor with the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners and an active member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT). My ongoing training in trauma and attachment-focused therapy reflects my commitment to providing skilled, evidence-based care.
Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring the outdoors, and staying curious through learning and travel. At Restoration Psychological Services, my mission is not only to provide exceptional therapy but also to mentor and develop the next generation of Marriage and Family Therapists.
