Motherhood can be a wonderful time but it can also be a difficult process and adjustment. I am committed to helping new and experienced moms and dads struggling to support each other through this transition.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Arizona. I am an Arizona native, born and raised in the Phoenix area. In my free time, I am usually found chasing after my three young children or training for a half-marathon with my husband.
I attended Northern Arizona University where I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, then continued on to earn a Master’s Degree in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University. I have professional training and experience which includes Infertility, Birth Trauma, Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders and Adjustment to Motherhood.
I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and I find there is great success when life’s traumas are discovered and resolved. In addition, I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which is essential to learning and managing emotions while effectively communicating with others

I am currently pursuing a Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Grand Canyon University and am thrilled to be completing my internship at Run Your Life Counseling under the supervision of Megan Smith. I previously earned my Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy with a minor in Art at the University of Dallas. My areas of interest include anxiety, depression, trauma, cognitive-behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, strengths- based therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy.
I am passionate about helping women navigate the transition into motherhood as well as deal with any mental health struggles, like anxiety, depression, trauma or relationship issues. My goal is to create a safe space for my clients to feel heard and understood while exploring their emotions, experiences and goals. I hope to empower my clients by encouraging them to focus on their unique strengths, as well as find a balance between self-compassion, acceptance and change.
I am an Arizona native and mother to my beautiful 6 year old daughter, who just started first grade. Hiking, yoga, embroidering, and movies are some of my favorite things I enjoy these days, outside of my passion for mental health.
