About Me

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years of experience, specializing in ADHD,
neurodivergence, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. I am
committed to supporting LGBTQ+ clients and non-traditional families. As a certified
ADHD coach and clinician, I help individuals and families address challenges related to
focus, attention, and executive function, impacting academic, social, and occupational
performance.
I utilize evidence-based therapies including DBT, EMDR, and CBT to address trauma,
improve coping skills, and regulate mood. My practice values individuality and
embraces clients who experience life from unique perspectives, especially those facing
adversity related to identity and societal expectations.
Professional Journey
My career began after a personal transformation, inspired by my own experience with
therapy. I transitioned from the biotech industry to social work, balancing graduate
studies and single parenthood. My early roles included working with adolescents in
residential care, outpatient drug programs, crisis intervention, and long-term therapy
with the Pascua Yaqui Nation. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I moved to private
practice, focusing on remote care and expanding my expertise.
Currently, I operate The Crow Flies Therapy, providing flexible, remote services from my
rural home office.
Practice Focus
I offer individual, couples, and family therapy, as well as group sessions in DBT skills,
mindfulness, and expressive therapies such as songwriting, poetry, and journaling. My
approach is client-centered, aiming to foster lasting change and personal growth. Virtual
therapy is a core component of my practice, providing accessible and effective care.
