About
As someone who has faced personal trauma and loss, I possess a deep and genuine understanding of the profound effects that painful life experiences can have on us.
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 33 years of experience specializing in the treatment of mood and psychiatric disorders, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered in their healing journey. I value an individualized approach to care, recognizing that no two people experience life the same way. With decades of clinical knowledge and dedication to mental health, I am committed to helping clients navigate challenges and discover tools to improve their overall well-being.
I earned my Master’s in Advanced Practice Nursing from Walden University, where I strengthened my ability to combine evidence-based practices with compassionate care. My approach integrates talk therapy and medication management, tailored to the unique needs of each client, ensuring that treatment aligns with their goals and experiences.
I believe that meaningful progress begins with partnership. Whether you are seeking treatment, support, or guidance, I will walk alongside you in developing the tools needed to face life’s obstacles. Together, we can create positive and lasting change, helping you to feel more balanced, resilient, and hopeful in your journey forward.

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.

Life coaching is a personalized support system that helps individuals clarify goals, develop action plans, and navigate challenges. Coaches employ effective communication and active listening to assist clients in overcoming obstacles, unlocking their potential, and achieving personal growth for a more fulfilling life.
In life coaching, our coaches utilize diverse therapeutic techniques that are tailored to individuals, including cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, mindfulness, and positive psychology approaches. They also utilize active listening and empathetic communication to provide a supportive space for you to explore and achieve personal goals and overcome challenges, fostering personal growth and clarity.
Life coaching with our therapists in Phoenix, AZ is conducted both in person and virtually via online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of life coaching sessions someone attends can differ based on the coach and the client’s choices. How many sessions are needed and how often they occur often hinges on the client’s objectives and the complexity of their concerns. Some clients might opt for a few sessions to tackle particular goals or issues, while others may decide on ongoing coaching sessions to work on personal growth and life enhancement over a more extended period of time. Thriveworks Phoenix therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.
Our life coaches are here to assist you in the many goal-oriented areas of your life including financial independence, communication flexing between different types of colleagues, or other areas that need addressing. If you don’t have a particular target in mind, don’t worry. Your provider will be happy to ask you questions that get you thinking about the future. These questions may be about your environment, your relationships, your work, your desires, or your current level of satisfaction.
Working with a life coach can lead to personal transformation that impacts all areas of your life. Our coaches at Thriveworks in Phoenix, AZ are ready to help when you’re ready to get started. Reach out to us today to schedule your first appointment.

If you’d like to make a change in your life in one or more of these areas, consider reaching out to schedule your first life coaching appointment with us at Thriveworks in Phoenix, AZ.
Life coaches can help you learn to set and achieve goals by introducing structure and organization into your schedule. In your introductory session, your provider will listen to your goals, concerns, and circumstances to create a plan that aligns with your needs and helps you reach your human potential.
Take financial planning, for instance. For some, financial planning can mean creating a long-term goal such as opening and contributing to a college fund for a child beginning on the child’s first birthday. For others, financial planning can have short-term implications such as saving for a car down payment by year’s end or saving for a trip by the beginning of the summer.
Whether your goal is long or short-term, our life coaches can help you get there. Additionally, your provider can help you update your goals as you achieve your previous targets. In this way, your life coach adds continued value to your life as you work to achieve your many aspirations.
Whether you’re unhappy with your life or are just looking for a way to find additional fulfillment, life coaching sessions with a Thriveworks coach can help add vigor to your routine. Our coaches are here to motivate you, guide you, and offer their expert services.
You can meet with one of our providers online or in person at our counseling office, which offers convenient business hours seven days a week. We offer same-week appointments, provide evening and weekend session options, and take many different insurance plans.
Your goals don’t have to wait. You can begin planning for the future as soon as you’re ready. Simply call us at Thriveworks in Phoenix, AZ to get started.
