About me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Arizona with more than 20 years of experience in social work. I started Restorative Alliance because I believe the relationship between a client and a therapist is where real change begins. When you feel safe and understood, the work gets easier.

In our sessions I use CBT, ACT, and DBT, and I adjust them to fit you. My approach is sensitive to trauma, and I pay attention to your mental, physical, and social health, since each one affects the others.

My style is calm, caring, and honest. We will set goals together, move at a pace that works for you, and check in along the way to make sure therapy is helping.
