Psychotherapist -
*Accepting New Clients In-Person or Telehealth* Helping Individuals, Couples and Families to Achieve Wellness in their Lives & Heal from painful life experiences. Serving Arizona, Specializing in Addictions, Process Addictions & Mental Health Issues. Today can be the beginning of Change, “Let’s Get Started”.
My therapeutic style is easy going but to the point of taking an empathetic client-centered approach in an understanding way that fosters a genuine partnership, to promote personal growth in healing & the building of a fulfilling new lifestyle. I customize treatment individually to meet your specific needs along with the technique that works best for you. Having a safe and non-judgmental place to process past or present pain is essential in healing. I believe you are a resilient human being and have a personal strength determined to find change or you wouldn’t be reading this!
My career in the behavioral health/substance use disorder industry began in 1997 at Foundations Sober Living Homes in San Diego, California which I owned for 10 years. Since that time, I realized I had to return to school in 2009 in order to fulfill my purpose in working with others. I earned my Associates Degree in Applied Sciences – Chemical Dependency at Rio Salado College, then I completed my Bachelor of Psychology at Grand Canyon University, and then a Master of Science in Addiction Counseling, also from Grand Canyon University. I’m happy to announce that I graduated with a second Masters degree in Professional Counseling from Ottawa University on 12/31/2021. I currently hold a license as an Arizona LISAC-Licensed Independent Substance Abuse Counselor. I also have a LAC-Licensed Associate Counselor which I’m currently working on independent licensing hours. I began my clinical career in 2008, when I moved to Arizona from San Diego and started working on the clinical side of addiction and behavioral health treatment. I’ve worked in several residential and outpatient treatment facilities across Arizona.
I would like to say welcome to Phoenix Foundations Recovery and your new way of life. Please remember you’re not alone!
