I am an Arizona native and alumni of Arizona State University where I received my bachelor’s degree in forensic psychology in 2021. Most recently, I completed my master’s in forensic psychology and mental health counseling in 2024 from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. During this time, I simultaneously completed my internship through Northern Lights Therapy.

I am passionate about creating a safe space, to help both adolescents and adults navigate through trauma, self-esteem, and life challenges. I strive to motivate individuals make positive change in their lives, as I believe everyone has the potential to be the best version of themselves.

With an education in forensic psychology, I have gravitated my commitment and focus towards understanding compulsive sexual behaviors. I am member of the Association for the Treatment and Prevention of Sexual Abuse (ATSA) and have attended trainings related to the treatment/identification of harmful sexual behaviors, pornography addiction, and positive sexuality. In a society where sex is seen as a taboo topic, I feel it is incredibly important to acknowledge the many struggles that come with developing a healthy sexual identity. Additionally, I recognize the importance of understanding the intersectionality of trauma and abusive sexual behaviors.

I have attended additional trainings in play therapy and Brainspotting (Phase 1). However, I do not specifically adhere to one therapeutic approach. I pull from many different methods, also including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and attachment theory.
