The fancy stuff (feel free to skip).
I attended grad school at Purdue University Northwest, where I received my Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy.
I absolutely love learning and have completed advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy, Gottman Method, PREPARE/ENRICH Premarital Counseling, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and Perinatal Mental Health. I also have additional training in religious trauma.
I currently serve on the General Board for the Mormon Mental Health Association & am on the Arizona Interest Network of AAMFT's Newsletter Team. Additionally, I am an active member of Arizona Center for Emotionally Focused Therapy & International Society of Accelerated Resolution Therapy.
My take on our time together.
You deserve a soft landing place - a space to gently unravel the tangled threads of your story, without judgment or shame. There is nothing “wrong” with you. The patterns you are stuck in - how you think, feel, and interact- were woven in response to what you needed to survive. And now, with care, compassion, and non-judgement, we can begin to loosen what no longer fits and make room for something new.
