Therapists in Laveen, AZ

I am a bilingual clinical social worker having the honor of serving populations of the Southwest. In a world full of uncertainties, complex stressors and a never ending fast pace culture I am here to support individuals whom would like to work on improving their depression, managing their stress or working on their sobriety. Its never too late and never too early to start working on your personal self care. Available to supports individuals going through significant adjustments in life, grief and relationship problems.

For over 25 years as a clinician I remain passionate in helping children, adolescents and families who are struggling with emotional issues and challenges. I provide services for a variety of issues for children and teens ages 3-18. My patient and compassionate approach promotes healing and positive changes. I utilize a strength based treatment to empower children and teens to be successful and emotionally stable. I establish positive relationships with my clients, even those who are initially resistant to therapy. I follow their lead, knowing that establishing trust is the first step in the therapeutic process.

I view therapy as a space for you, the client to be unequivocally yourself while recognizing that there are so many internal and interpersonal factors alongside systems in place that may contribute to the pain, anxiety, and discomfort one feels. You are the most important person in your own life, and once you start to care for yourself in healing ways, this can be extended to others who you care for and love. I believe that it is important to walk patiently with every individual and I also believe that it is important to discuss how cultural beliefs and societal roles may influence one’s perception and experiences.

Accepting new clients via Telemedicine ONLY. I’m here to help you make a change and I’m honored to walk this journey with you. My passion is to help you connect to the parts of you that need healing. Feeling “stuck” can look different for everyone – through low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, feeling unsafe, negative view of yourself, lack of confidence and irritability. I am here to guide you to help you transform pain into a life worth celebrating.

If you experienced something traumatic; I am proof that you can heal! If you have struggled with addiction; I can relate. If you’re finding your way through a complex relationship; I got your back! Trauma, addiction, and complex relationships all impact us similarly. As the owner of small group practice 'Noble Path Counseling & Consulting', I ensure that my team of professionals can relate to your situation and also provide you with highly specialized skills tailored to your needs. Let us help you overcome whatever obstacles you face so that you can start living your best life ASAP!

All of us are having normal nervous system responses of survival in a time that seems very abnormal and unusual. There are many unexpected issues that are coming to the surface in this time of global crisis and trauma. With the additional demands and stressors brought about by Covid 19, most need trauma-responsive care and support. I utilize a variety of bottom up techniques that engage the nervous system and partner with the physical body to allow for resolution of traumas. This is coupled with traditional top down talk therapy techniques to foster improved social engagement and empowerment.

I offers compassionate support and practical tools to help manage the unique challenges in your life. I work with you where you are at in your life and help create a plan with the best possible approach, help implement it immediately and maintain it over time.

If you were healing your pain, what would be different about your life? What is something you’re carrying, but doesn’t belong to you? These questions can tell us a lot about what’s stopping us from moving forward. Often, we find ourselves living for others that we completely lose sight of ourselves. We forget what we enjoy, what excites us, or what even brings us meaning. I like to get into the weeds with my clients. We peel back layers and find meaning and clarity in spaces that seemed impossible to reach. We make connections to places that felt like dead ends and pave a pathway with countless opportunities for future adventures.

I am a short term, wellness oriented and goal focused therapist. A joyful and purpose driven life is what most of us strive for. Sometimes we are temporarily knocked off the track by a catastrophic event or ongoing life situation that appears to be hopeless or unsolvable. These roadblocks, however, can be overcome with will, good support and the right tools necessary to change our attitudes and life circumstances so that life works for us, not against us, once again. For anxiety and depression I incorporate meditation, tapping, vagus nerve stimulation and relaxation exercises into my sessions to help you regain control.
