Cultivate Counseling Therapists

Your capacity for change, healing, and growth is why I do this work. In the 10 years that I have been in the field, courage is what has always shown up at my door. Courage is always what leads us to change -- courage to believe that things could be different, that life doesn't have to feel this way. It would be an honor to walk alongside you on your journey from courage to hope.

My goal as a therapist is to witness your story and guide you to a place of healing. I believe the most essential part of therapy is the therapeutic bond that occurs as a result of working with an individual over a period of time. There has been no greater reward in my career as a counselor than witnessing a client’s growth and helping them reach their fullest potential. I am non-judgmental in my approach and enjoy the uniqueness in individuals and the learning that takes place from working with clients from various backgrounds.

I received my Bachelor's Degree from Northern Arizona University and my Master’s Degree from Webster University in Counseling Psychology in 2010.

As practice manager it is my role to support the therapists at Cultivate Counseling by creating a platform from which they can thrive and feel supported in all of their logistical needs. I am passionate about building a trauma informed workspace where therapists feel safe to engage with their complete human spectrum. It is also my role to support Cultivate Counseling in expanding their offerings based on the mental health needs of the Flagstaff community.

When I’m not working at Cultivate Counseling you can find me anywhere outside in our beautiful Northern Arizona Community.

As office manager my role is to support therapists and clients with the logistical needs such as scheduling and billing, while nurturing our community through trauma informed customer service.

When I'm out of the office I can be found in the aisles of our public library, hiking towards a good view, enjoying Oak Creek Canyon and sharing quality time with family and friends.

"My objective in our work is to hold space for you, without condition and without expectation. This enables me to meet you where you are and to spend our time together on a shared frequency, viewing your world through a shared lens. You are the foremost expert on your own life and experience. I am here to offer support, tools, reflection, resources, perspective at times, and most of all, a safe and confidential space devoid of judgment.

I have a background in the arts, education, and social work, and have been doing adjacent work for 20 years. I am a culturally diverse individual who has lived abroad and travelled extensively. I have a deep respect for and sensitivity to issues of diversity, oppression, bias, and community. Providing advocacy and support in these areas is very close to my heart.

My way of seeing, understanding, and supporting you as a unique individual or couple is a holistic one. I take a mind, body, spirit approach to therapy and the exploration of modalities that will support the creative and collaborative work we do together. My work incorporates a variety of theoretical orientations. I am fully trained in EMDR and available to provide trauma services. Just a few areas of passion and experience for me are family and relationship struggles, transitions and life-stage challenges, existential, religious, or faith-based trauma, and mood and personality disorders.

“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you” -Friedrich Nietzsche

I’d be honored to fight with you; and perhaps, if we're brave enough, even make peace with the monsters that you may be free. This work is powerful, transformative, and hard. I love it. I’ve been a social worker for the past 15 years, typically drawn to those fighting big monsters like domestic violence, serious mental illness, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and trauma. I like to think of myself as a fairly eclectic therapist with the ability to tailor my approach to the client’s needs.

I received a Bachelor’s in Social Work from Utah Valley University (former LDS… I saw you wondering) and a Master’s in Social Work from Northern Arizona University (...Go Jacks).

"It is an honor to participate in people’s growth and change. My approach to therapy is holistic and person-centered. I strive to make therapy a place of safety, vulnerability, and connection. You are the expert of your life experience, and as your therapist I am glad to walk alongside you as you learn more about yourself.

Systemic oppression affects how we navigate the world and shapes our perspectives. At times, life circumstance, trauma, and mental health struggles can leave us feeling hopeless.

As a writer and a therapist, I believe in the power of words and stories for healing. We are exposed to many messages as we journey through life, both from others and from ourselves. These messages can have a profound impact, influencing our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and sometimes becoming detrimental to our mental health. My goal as a counselor is to provide a safe, affirming atmosphere for you to explore these personal messages and to walk beside you as you create a more hopeful and meaningful narrative. I believe you already contain the seeds of hope and recovery within you; I would be honored to help you discover and cultivate them.

I received my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in counseling from Colorado Mesa University and Northern Arizona University, respectively, and have experience working with a myriad of diverse emotional and life challenges. I provide holistic, integrative therapy, drawing from various techniques, with an overall humanistic and strengths-based approach. I primarily offer Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (examining your thought patterns), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (gaining life skills), Narrative Therapy (processing your personal narrative), Cognitive Processing Therapy (exploring how trauma has impacted your beliefs), Positive Affect Therapy (increasing your ability to anticipate, enjoy, and savor positive emotions), and mindfulness approaches (learning to be in the present moment). Overall, I strive to help you both recognize and draw on your current sources of strength and resilience, and also adopt more adaptive ways of coping with and handling personal challenges. I believe in meeting you where you are in your life, without judgment, and moving forward at the pace and in the direction that you find acceptable, while gently challenging you to expand your comfort zone.

While in session, I might utilize EMDR, "parts work", Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) strategies, cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness-based strategies and exposure-related strategies in order to move toward accomplishing your goals. I have knowledge and experience in working with trauma, anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), obsessive-compulsive tendencies and those who struggle with perfectionism.

You are inherently creative. Together we will explore this truth, uncovering how (1) your creativity driven by trauma restrains your authenticity (through anxiety, depression, people pleasing/codependency, perfectionism, disordered eating, etc.) and (2) ways your creative power can be consciously channeled to unleash your authentic self!

Our tools of exploration and co-creation will include parts work, EMDR, Authentic Relating, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness practices, embodiment work, walk-and-talk sessions, and multimedia activities (such as writing, drawing, expressive movement, etc.).

This is an invitation to move beyond trauma and beyond talk therapy into empowered, playful states of being. As a therapist and an artist, it would be my absolute joy to leverage my creative abilities to support you in reconnecting with who you truly are!

As a therapist, I specialize in working with survivors of domestic, intimate partner, and sexual violence, as well as those experiencing challenges with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and racial identity. My extensive experience in the criminal justice system and crisis intervention has deepened my awareness and application of behavioral health resources and trauma informed care. The incredible courage behind asking for help is what drives my passion within this type of work.

I love humans and our messy, beautiful journeys here on earth with all our humanity. When we are provided spaces to be held, seen, and loved in our humanity, powerful things take place. As a counseling intern, I am dedicated to providing compassionate and empathetic support for individuals navigating their unique journeys. My belief in the power of genuine connection and being seen underscores my intention to create a safe and nurturing space where you can explore, reflect, be, and heal.

As a counseling generalist, I find joy in working with diverse individuals across their lifespans and addressing various challenges. In my work, I believe looking at societal factors, systems of power, and cultural narratives that influence our mental health is as important as the individual ones. Guided by person-centered, social-constructivist, and gestalt counseling, my practice integrates various modalities, including mindfulness and somatics. Rejecting a pathologizing approach, I view symptoms as natural adaptations to life's challenges. Together, we can delve into these dynamics with curiosity, kindness, and a willingness to grow.

I received my Bachelor's degrees in Adventure Education and Psychology at Prescott College, and I am completing my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling also at Prescott. Outside of counseling, I love doing yoga, spending time in nature, and building community. I look forward to starting our journey together.

I am currently in network with BCBS (not including AHCCCS and Medicare).

Life is an ever shifting journey that proves more challenging at certain times than others. The challenges that we face are unique to each of us. It is my belief and the reason this work continues to be my passion, that having safe, compassionate, skilled relationships are what heal us and support our agency (I can!). As a therapist, I strive to offer work that is reparative and restorative to my clients' nervous systems. When clients feel that they belong, have an increased sense of hope and understanding of self, and can take another step forward I believe that I have done a large part of my job.

I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). I specialize in trauma work which includes developmental trauma and increased resolution of both past and present trauma. This trauma may have been ongoing over a period of time or an isolated incident. I have been trained to understand how trauma affects the nervous system and how to support a person back to a sense of greater ease in the world. I have been a therapist for 20 years and have worked with with most ages and stages of development.

Stories are one of the primary reasons why I chose to enter this profession and, while I have only been a professional for part of my life, I have been listening to peoples stories for a long time. I believe stories is where our humanity rests and stories display the full range of our complexity and connection as humans. I feel honored and humbled to be a listener of people’s unique stories; to cultivate a space for someone to feel safe, to be vulnerable, and share whatever dimension of their story they are writing or editing. I seek to empower clients to see themselves as the experts and authors of their life whether their journey inward is beginning or continuing.

My orientation as a counselor is to serve all communities in need with authenticity, curiosity, and cultural humility. I have experience supporting individuals facing the hidden pandemics of our time: anxiety, trauma (intergenerational, cultural, racial, childhood, and other forms), depression, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and family system dynamics. I provide services in both English and Spanish languages to clients based on their preferred and primary preferences.

I have a Bachelors in Psychological Sciences, Bachelors in Criminology and Criminal Justice; and a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northern Arizona University. In my life I value and integrate social justice and diversity equity advocacy, poetry, music, art, cooking, nature, and climbing.

Las historias son una de las razones principales por las que elegí ingresar a esta profesión y, aunque solo he sido profesional durante parte de mi vida, he estado escuchando las historias de las personas durante mucho tiempo. Creo que las historias es donde descansa nuestra humanidad y las historias muestran el alcance de nuestra complejidad y conexión como humanos. Me siento honrado y con humildad de escuchar las historias únicas de las personas; para cultivar un espacio para que alguien se sienta seguro, sea vulnerable y comparta cualquier dimensión de su historia que están escribiendo o editando. Busco empoderar a los clientes para que se vean a sí mismos como expertos y autores de su vida, ya sea que su viaje hacia el interior de si mismos esté comenzando o continuando.

I believe in the importance of the multiple elements of a person’s “culture” (including, but not limited to; religion, race, gender, ethnicity, family of origin structure, region, education level, ability level, belief systems, etc.) and will work to understand you as a whole person as part of a bigger system.

Your healing journey is as unique as your fingerprint. Cultivating this path takes openness, intention, and nurture - all key elements in the therapeutic process. While the depths of ourselves can be excruciating to explore, it is only with deep discovery that true awareness and relief blossom. This knowledge opens the path toward acceptance and change.

As a therapist, my focus is creating an authentic space where genuine expression thrives. This environment allows for a strong therapeutic bond, which I believe is the catalyst for major transformation. Laced within these elements, I follow a person-centered and strengths-based approach, with emphasis on mindfulness techniques, holistic care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT).
