I have been employed in the behavioral health field for the past 20 years and have had the opportunity to work with a variety of populations. I obtained my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Az State University with a Concentration in Direct Practice and currently maintain independent licensure through the Az Board of Behavioral Health Examiners.  
In December of 2021, I joined the SonderCare team and provide both individual and couples therapy in addition to facilitating the Women’s Trauma Group and Hoarding Group. While working with clients, I implement a collaborative approach in order to establish treatment goals and ensure a productive outcome.

I have worked in the mental health field for 39 years, specifically with juvenile justice involved youth and their families. After 36 years in California, I recently relocated back to Tucson, AZ. Throughout my career I have provided mental health services and directed group, individual, and family treatment. In addition, I have directed specialty services working with sexually abused and abusive youth, substance abuse treatment, and have created ally/defender programming designed to reduce sexual exploitation. I joined the SonderCare team in May 2023 and provide individual and couples counseling in addition to facilitating Obsessive Compulsive group weekly. I pride myself on being trauma informed, organized, flexible, caring, culturally sensitive, and attuned to others.
