Hello! I'm Gwen, a Licensed Associate Counselor in Arizona, a National Certified Counselor, and a Certified Youth Mental Health Specialist. My passion is helping children, teens, young adults, and families navigate life’s challenges, whether they involve emotional struggles, behavioral difficulties, or past trauma. I have experience working with a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, behavioral challenges, ADHD, PTSD, and other trauma-related symptoms.
I use a humanistic, trauma-informed approach, allowing me to tailor my practice to each client's unique needs. This may include Expressive Arts Therapy, DBT, CBT, Play Therapy, and ADHD-focused interventions to create a personalized and effective treatment plan.
As an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, I welcome and support individuals of all identities, ensuring they feel seen, valued, and accepted. Above all, I strive to provide a safe, creative, and supportive space where children, teens, young adults, and families feel encouraged and empowered.
