About
I bring a culturally sensitive, holistic, and solution-oriented approach to care, grounded in understanding, compassion, and a commitment to supporting individuals through both the initiation of treatment and long-term recovery.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 15 years of experience providing psychiatric care across community and public health settings. I specialize in medication management and supportive therapy for adults experiencing mood disorders, anxiety, trauma-related conditions, and substance use concerns. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on meeting clients where they are in their healing journey.
I earned my master’s degree in nursing from California State University of Los Angeles. My clinical background includes work in public mental health systems, where I provided psychiatric care and psychoeducation to diverse populations using evidence-based and client-centered approaches.
When working together, I take time to understand your history, current concerns, and treatment goals. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and respected. Through personalized care, I help clients build stability, confidence, and improved overall well-being.

As someone who has experienced severe trauma, with resulting chronic PTSD, I have a personal understanding of how this impacts every aspect of our lives.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with 16 years of experience supporting individuals facing complex mental health needs. My background includes acute inpatient care, outpatient treatment, and work with military members and first responders. I am particularly sensitive to the experiences of those who have served and those who often feel unseen. My goal is always to help each person feel safe, respected, and cared for.
I hold a master’s degree in nursing from the University of South Alabama. My approach to care is thoughtful and intentional. I believe in conservative medication management and aim for the best results with the least amount needed. I am also transitioning toward a more holistic and metabolic approach because everything in the body is connected.
I know how discouraging it can feel when you’re not listened to or your concerns are overlooked. I will take the time to understand your story, honor your goals, and work with you to find clarity and healing. I promise to do my best to make you feel truly seen, supported, and heard.

At Thriveworks, we offer ADHD therapy, which is an effective treatment for managing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms such as inattention, inability to sit still, and lack of self-control. It can be used as an alternative to ADHD medication or used in tandem.
ADHD therapy works by using behavioral interventions — focusing on helping the individual develop organization skills, improve time management, and work on adaptive behaviors. A range of therapies are effective in helping people manage their ADHD and, sometimes, both individual and family therapy are important, particularly when the individual with ADHD symptoms is a child.
Common symptoms of ADHD include:
ADHD is not a coping mechanism—but is instead affected by both genetics and environmental factors. The skilled therapists at Thriveworks in Phoenix, AZ know how to treat the unique triggers and stressors that may influence the severity of someone’s ADHD symptoms.
Yes—many individuals with ADHD live successful, ‘normal’ lives. Individuals with ADHD are not abnormal.
Common approaches to ADHD therapy include medication management, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, and parent training.
ADHD counseling is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability.
The length of ADHD therapy can differ based on individual requirements and treatment objectives, spanning from a few weeks to several months or extending further, contingent on progress and personal needs.

There are three main types of ADHD — the inattentive type, the hyperactive/impulsive type, and the combined type. People can exhibit either a set of symptoms from one type or live with a combination of symptoms from both types.
Here are some of the most common ADHD symptoms:
These symptoms can make it difficult to navigate work, school, or other focus-heavy activities. People with ADHD have a higher chance of dealing with another mental health issue like anxiety, bipolar disorder, or depression. Working with a mental health professional can help relieve symptoms of ADHD and concurrent disorders.
Do you think you or your child are living with ADHD? If so, call our office at Thriveworks Counseling in Phoenix, AZ today. Someone from our scheduling team can help you set up your first appointment
Therapy for ADHD usually focuses on teaching time management skills, organizational strategies, or ways to control impulsive behavior. There are a few different therapeutic methods that can be used to treat ADHD, including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
Family therapy can be especially helpful when a child is dealing with ADHD so the family members learn how to support the child’s growth and development. Medication is another tool that can help manage ADHD symptoms for some people.
