Therapists in Arizona

Do you struggle with anxiety? You're not alone. Anxiety affects approximately 19% of the population, yet finding lasting relief can be elusive. That's where I come in. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders and related conditions such as OCD, panic, and phobias, employing proven modalities like ERP, CBT, and i-CBT. Whether you're an adult, child, or part of a family, I provide therapy in both English and Spanish.

I believe change is difficult for most people. We often get stuck in certain patterns of behavior and find it difficult to move forward and heal. Every individual has the ability to change within themselves and it is my role to help guide people along the path of change. It is my goal as a Psychologist to help people capitalize on their strengths and teach them new ways of thinking, behaving, and coping with certain issues. I believe every child, teenager, adult, and family unit are unique and require an special/individualized approach to help them achieve their full potential.

I am accepting new clients! My experience in the field has led me to understand that everyone is unique and comes to healing in their own ways. My role is to provide a safe and nurturing environment and assist individuals in understanding and achieving their goals during the therapeutic process.

As a seasoned child and teen psychologist with a rich background in Clinical Psychology and Neuropsychology, I'm here to help your child or athlete shine brightly again. I understand the struggles that come with learning, self-esteem, and navigating life's challenges—because I'm a parent too, and a former collegiate gymnast turned coach. My approach is compassionate, direct, and tailored to empower your child and your family. Let's team up to tackle the tough stuff and celebrate the victories, big and small, on the path to resilience and joy.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Private Practice, with over 30 years of experience in individual, family, marital, divorce, blended family, child and adolescent counseling, and veteran's issues.

What constitutes a traumatic event is a very personal experience. Often it isn’t until you are in therapy that you discover the full implications and impact on the quality of your life. The footprint of trauma can show itself as difficulty at work, unhealthy relationship patterns, anxiety, depression, or a lack of sleep. It can also be the total and complete interruption of your life. What you may think is anxiety or depression could be early trauma or developmental trauma. It can also be complex trauma created after multiple events and experiences. It is never what's wrong with you but what's happened to you!
