Although I do not have consistent office hours available, my schedule is flexible, and I will make every effort to accomodate your availability.  Please email me ([email protected]) or send a Canvas message to set an appointment.

As a counselor, I am here to support you.  Seeking counseling is a brave step - choosing to face your challenges head on and making life changes in the face of uncertainty. In counseling, we work together to develop insight, self-compassion, resiliency, emotional relief, and self-agency, among other strengths, in service of academic success and a more fulfilling and congruent life.  My counseling approach provides perspectives, interventions, and practical strategies to help you overcome your struggles.

I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment to make it easier for you to open up about your life challenges. I treat each student as a unique individual, and take into consideration your whole person-hood to understand the deeper issues underlying your concerns. Life can be challenging, but you don’t have to go through it alone.

Although we are limited to solution focused counseling, I can also work with you to find a therapist in the community that will help you to achieve your long term mental health goals.

As an instructor, my job is to help you to be a more confident student.  Professionally, my previous experiences include early childhood development and non-profit work.  I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Arizona.  I have worked in both agency and private practice settings as a mental health professional.  I am now privileged to be able to serve Mesa Community College as a Counselor and Residential Faculty member at Red Mountain!
