LICENSED ASSOCIATE MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPIST – Gilbert, AZ (In-person and telehealth)

As a therapist, I am passionate about helping individuals heal and strengthen their most important relationships – with themselves, their partners, and their families. Loving and being loved in responsive relationships is at the heart of human happiness.

In my work with couples and families, I focus on building connection and emotional attunement. I use attachment-based and emotionally focused therapies in assessing the influence of attachment styles (developed in childhood and shaped throughout life) on adult relationships and parenting dynamics. We work to create secure and attuned attachments through the therapeutic process.

I believe that each person has more power and options available to them than they may realize. I support individuals in developing self-compassion, healthy personal boundaries, and a beneficial internal dialogue. My approach is one of empathy, as well as confidence in the
resilience of each person and in the potential for growth.

With my training in family systems, I view the dynamics within a couple, family, or parenting system as an interactive pattern. One person has the power to help shift a relationship, and with two or more people collaborating, the potential for change dramatically increases.

I find it deeply rewarding to work with individuals, couples, and families to help facilitate personal and relationship transformation. My own life experiences – including having raised four children here in Gilbert, AZ – have added to the insights that I bring to help others in their personal
and family journeys.

LICENSED ASSOCIATE MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPIST – Gilbert, AZ (In-person and telehealth)

My therapy journey began as a client. Like many, I was initially looking for guidance on how to fix what I believed was broken within me. These concepts of “brokenness” and “fixing” deeply impacted my life and marriage. However, through my experiences with individual therapy and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), I learned that being “sensitive” is my greatest strength. Embracing vulnerability, rather than suppressing it, allows me to show up more authentically for my spouse, friends, and clients. In doing so, I choose to be brave.

As Dr. Brené Brown says, “Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it’s having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome.”

As a Marriage & Family Therapist Intern, I am working under the supervision of Nick Puchalski, LMFT, to support individuals, couples, and families in repairing rifts, improving communication, and developing secure bonds. I approach each session by meeting you where you are at and valuing your expertise as the person living your life. We’ll work together in a safe, supportive space for vulnerability and emotional growth, building a roadmap toward stronger, more connected relationships.

CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING INTERN – Gilbert, AZ (In-person and telehealth)

I’ve always been someone who naturally cares about how others are feeling and what they’re going through. During my own high school years, I faced some personal challenges and experienced firsthand how meaningful therapy can be. That experience didn’t just help me heal—it inspired me to want to support others as they navigate their own changes, challenges, and growth.

I believe therapy can be a powerful space for anyone seeking clarity, healing, or simply a place to feel heard. Becoming aware of our mental health needs is often the first step toward meaningful change, and I’m passionate about helping people take those steps in a way that feels supportive and empowering.

My training in counseling spans over six years, beginning with my bachelor’s degree and continuing now through my master’s program. Along the way, I’ve been exposed to a wide range of therapeutic approaches and have developed a strong appreciation for the importance of the relationship between therapist and client. I approach each person with curiosity, openness, and the belief that therapy should be tailored to the unique needs of the individual sitting in front of me.

My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, deeply seen & understood, and wildly supported as you move toward the life you want to build.

LICENSED NATUROPATHIC DOCTOR – Gilbert, AZ (In-person and telehealth)

I grew up in the sunny state of New Mexico among the cottonwoods and cacti. I spent every chance I could outside and so grew my passion for the outdoors. My mother was a midwife, so I was exposed to various forms of natural medicine at an early age, as well as the idea that our bodies have an innate healing wisdom. When it was time for me to go to college, I chose Northern Arizona University because of its mountain top location that reminded me so much of home. Despite the climate being familiar I struggled with home sickness and depression my first year away. Then tragically I lost a friend to suicide. Using therapy, meditation, yoga, and time in nature with good friends, I was able to come back to myself and find passion for life again.
