Licensed Professional Counselor
My journey into the mental health field was shaped by my personal experiences with trauma and addiction. Before earning my Master’s in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University in 2015, I worked as a Behavioral Health Technician supporting individuals navigating addiction, severe mental health challenges, intimate partner violence, and trauma. I then joined The Meadows, a nationally recognized treatment center, where I trained with leading experts in trauma, addiction, and recovery, including Patrick Carnes, Stephanie Carnes, Peter Levine, and Pia Mellody.
I initially earned certification in sex and porn addiction therapy, which gave me expertise in addressing compulsive sexual behaviors. I later became a Certified Sex Therapist, expanding my practice to support clients with sexual health, intimacy, and relationship concerns, while integrating trauma-informed care. I have also completed advanced training in Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, Post-Induction Therapy, DBT, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, and mindfulness practices, as well as specialized education in sexual functioning and intimacy through the Institute for Sexuality Education and Enlightenment.
Today, my work centers on helping clients heal from trauma, overcome toxic stress, rebuild intimacy, and reclaim their sexual well-being. I provide a compassionate, judgment-free space where individuals can safely explore their experiences, develop resilience, and move toward lasting emotional and sexual wellness.
