Emotional Health Expert and Therapist

The Shiny Professional Stuff

I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist with a background in psychology, trauma and relational dynamics.

I am trained in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) and this is my bread and butter. It is a vital tool for healing that allows us to access the subconscious to reprocess “stuck” traumas — making them neutral. This can be used both individually and within an attachment (couples) framework.

I have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples therapy which dives into the negative interaction cycle between couples that is driven by unmet (often unknown) attachment needs causing disconnection.

I am IFS informed (Internal Family Systems) which can help you understand different parts of you that may be in conflict and wind up keeping you stuck in the same patterns.

I have two Master’s degrees in both Psychology and Marriage and Family Therapy and have served the mental health community for 16 years.

I host a podcast called Feel and Find Out where I dive into the world of emotional health, to bring you education and connection to your self and others.

Outside of the Therapy Room

The messy personal stuff is that I have experienced the power of therapy firsthand throughout my adult life, where I found support in my struggle with relationships, high-conflict co-parenting, anxiety, depression and low self worth.

I am passionate about emotional health because I have always been so in tune to my emotions that it created chaos in my life (enneagram 4, iykyk). I have now found a place of regulation and safety within myself and KNOW I can help you do the same.

I am a mom of 2 boys, a toddler and a teenager who were born 10 years apart. I am no stranger to the emotional depths of parenting and attachment. My romantic partner is not their parent and I have a soft spot for working with couples who are doing their best to blend families

I absolutely love reading and you’ll find my nose in a thriller in any free time I have. I have a senior dog, a puppy and a senior cat and they run my home.

I am originally from NJ and you will often see my east coast Italian part emerge. I have been in AZ since 2010 and spent my elementary and middle school years here as well… though I am terrified of hiking.

I am a life long student and will continue to figure out this thing called being a human for all of my days.

My goal in the therapy room is to create a safe space and alliance for my clients to feel and heal. I believe that it is possible to not only become, but to unbecome what you perceive yourself to be and rewire. I also believe there is great value in humor, and connect with my clients on a deep level.
