You are not alone.

You don’t have to wait to feel seen, heard, and supported.

Struggles with identity, relationships, or health can feel heavy — but healing is possible. Here, you’ll find compassion, affirmation, and guidance designed just for you. My goal is to help you feel stronger, more hopeful, and ready for the future you deserve.

Your healing journey can start today.

Collaborative Compassionate Care

At Healthy Beginnings Counseling & Consulting Services, I believe therapy works best when it’s a true partnership.

You bring expertise about your own life, and I bring training and tools in Cognitive Behavioral Health, Solution-Focused Therapy, Integrated Behavioral Health, and EMDR (in training). Together, we’ll find practical ways to move past barriers and create meaningful change.

A safe and welcoming space for all.

This is an inclusive, identity-affirming practice where you can show up as your full self. I provide care for LGBTQIA+ individuals of all ages, pregnant and perinatal families, parents of young children, pre-teens, teens, and adults, and anyone navigating chronic health or cognitive concerns.

Whoever you are, you belong here.

Let’s build a path forward together.

Therapy that meets you where you are.

Sessions are held through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, giving you access to quality care without the stress of travel. All you need is a private space, an internet connection, and a device. Flexible scheduling makes it easier to get the support you need, right from home.

Licensed to provide telehealth therapy throughout Arizona.
