My approach to care integrates psychotherapy with medication management. I provide therapy for patients whose psychiatric medications I also manage, allowing for a coordinated and personalized treatment plan that supports both emotional and medical aspects of mental health.
With over 20 years of experience as a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner and now as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I am deeply committed to delivering compassionate, comprehensive care tailored to each individual’s unique needs. My approach integrates physical and mental health to support the whole person.
I specialize in:
- Mental health evaluations and medication management
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for substance use disorders
- Gender-affirming hormone therapy
- ADHD Clinical Service Provider-Certified Providing comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of ADHD in children, adolescents, and adults. Services include diagnostic assessments, differential diagnosis, medication management, psychoeducation, and individualized treatment planning using evidence-based practices.

I’m an immigrant, a wife, a mother to a neurodivergent child, and neurodivergent myself. My lived experiences, including divorce, high-conflict co-parenting, navigating special education, interracial relationships, and cross-cultural communication, shape how I understand and support clients through complex, real-life challenges.
Hi, I’m Virginia, a Licensed Master Social Worker in Arizona with over 12 years of experience supporting adolescents, young adults, and adults. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, and self-esteem concerns. My approach is warm, collaborative, and personalized, and I believe therapy should be a safe space where you feel heard and supported. I’ll work with you to understand your goals, build on your strengths, and find approaches that feel comfortable and meaningful for you.
I'm a clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience in this field. I opened my practice because I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can finally exhale.
I'm a Latina therapist, and while I work with people from all backgrounds, my practice is intentionally a safe space for people of color — a place where you don't have to explain or translate your experience before we can even begin the real work.
I work with people navigating major life transitions — the kind that shake up your identity and force you to ask, who am I now, and what do I actually want? A lot of my clients come to me while they're standing at a crossroads: considering leaving a relationship that no longer feels safe or loving, moving through separation or divorce, or trying to make sense of relationship patterns that keep repeating no matter who they're with.
I have a particular passion for working with survivors of narcissistic abuse. If you've spent years questioning your own reality, shrinking yourself to keep the peace, or wondering if you're "too sensitive," I want you to know: what you experienced was real, and healing from it is absolutely possible.
Chronic stress doesn't just live in your mind — it shows up in your body. Tension, fatigue, trouble sleeping, a nervous system that never quite feels safe. Together, we'll work on understanding those patterns, regulating your nervous system, and building real tools for managing your emotions — not just talking about them.
My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply, break cycles that no longer serve you, and rebuild a relationship with yourself rooted in compassion instead of criticism. Because healing isn't just about surviving what happened to you — it's about learning to love yourself and build a life you're genuinely excited to live.
If this resonates with you, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
I have worked with a variety of individuals over the last 9+ years. I work well with anyone facing life’s struggles, either caused by substance use issues as well as those managing depression and anxiety. I work with varying ages and backgrounds: people with criminal justice involvement, adolescents, and also clients new to therapy. My focus is to plant a seed of hope and possibility; I desire to help nurture new growth in all my clients!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Glendale
Searching for therapists in Glendale starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or trauma. As you compare therapists in Glendale, AZ, look for training, specialties, and therapy approaches that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you see whether they offer approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care.
Glendale offers a balanced mix of local and nearby care options, from Westgate and Arrowhead to surrounding Phoenix-area neighborhoods. Some people prefer an in-person office close to home, work, or school, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling flexibility. To narrow your search, check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, has appointment times that fit your calendar, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also help you understand each therapist’s communication style and what a first session may include.
Therapy in Glendale can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get a clearer estimate before you book. Headway helps you compare therapists who take insurance, review detailed profiles, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs based on your plan. You can browse therapists in Glendale, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
