I am a trauma-informed therapist with extensive experience helping individuals heal from anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. I believe people deserve results therefore I use evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotion focused therapy (EFT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I also do trauma processing using Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) which is an innovative approach to EMDR that produces lasting change in 1-3 sessions.

Hi, I'm Eevee. (Yep, like the Pokémon, lol) I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I believe therapy works best when you can show up as your whole self, knowing that your experiences, identities, values, culture, and strengths will be respected and welcomed.

As a Black, LGBTQ+ identified, gender-nonconforming therapist, my own lived experiences have shaped how I understand identity, belonging, authenticity, community, and the ways our environments can influence our well-being. These experiences inform my commitment to providing culturally responsive care and creating a therapeutic space where you don't have to hide or minimize important parts of who you are.

My work is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that people have an incredible capacity for growth. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, identity, stress, and other experiences that can make life feel difficult or disconnected.

At the heart of my work is a simple philosophy: I am less interested in helping you simply get through life. I want to support you as you Grow Through Life—developing greater understanding, skills, courage, and connection along the way.

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 am dedicated to creating a safe, respectful space where all individuals feel heard, supported, and empowered on their journey to wellness.

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 am a licensed clinical social worker who is certified in EMDR, Perinatal Mental Health, and Brainspotting. I am also a certified advanced provider of Compassionate Bereavement Care through the MISS Foundation.

I come from a trauma informed lens and specialize in assisting adults navigating persistent emotional overwhelm in their daily lives. My goal is to guide you away from feeling immobilized and without direction, to empowering you to discover meaning, purpose, and fulfillment.

Healing can begin with considering how past experiences have shaped your view of self, emotional patterns, and relationships with others. Grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the weight of patterns carried across a lifetime have a way of becoming invisible — so woven into daily life that they no longer feel like patterns at all. Just how things are now. You may have tried to push through, stay busy, or simply manage — and found yourself back in the same place, wondering why nothing seems to stick.

What most people don't realize is that the experiences keeping them stuck aren't just stored in memory — they live in the body. In the tension you hold without knowing it. In the way your breath shifts in certain rooms, around certain people, in certain moments that shouldn't feel as heavy as they do. This is where the real work happens — not just in understanding what you've been through, but in helping your nervous system finally catch up to what your mind already knows.

I bring a particular kind of presence to this work — calm, grounded, and genuinely unshakeable. Not because the hard stuff doesn't land, but because it doesn't destabilize me. For clients carrying trauma, that steadiness matters more than almost anything else. You need someone who can hold the full weight of what you bring in without flinching — and keep showing up the same way, session after session.

What we build together goes beyond the therapy room. Complex relationship patterns, grief, and the slow erosion of self-confidence are connected — shaped by the same experiences, reinforcing the same conclusions about who you are and what you deserve. We'll trace those connections, understand what your nervous system has been protecting, and build something more sustainable than simply getting through the day.

People come to therapy carrying all kinds of things. A teenager navigating identity and anxiety. An adult whose depression has become the background noise of daily life. An older adult sitting with grief, transition, and questions about meaning and purpose. I work across all of it — with teens, adults, and older adults — and I bring the same grounded, genuine investment to every person who walks through the door.

What I offer isn't just clinical range, though I have that. It's the perspective that comes from over a decade working across outpatient, intensive outpatient, and inpatient settings, serving as a clinical director, supervising clinicians toward licensure, and training the next generation of therapists at universities across Arizona. That kind of career doesn't just build skill. It builds a clinician who has seen enough to know that the most important thing in the room is never the framework — it's the relationship.

I'm an Arizona native, down-to-earth, and genuinely easy to be around. I value humor and believe lightheartedness has a real place in the therapy room — not as a way of avoiding the hard stuff, but as a reminder that healing doesn't have to feel relentlessly heavy. I work with people navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, co-occurring conditions, and complex life transitions, and I meet all of it with warmth, steadiness, and real clinical depth.

What I'm ultimately working toward with every client is simple: a better relationship with yourself and the people around you. More clarity. More purpose. A life that feels more like yours. Whether you're just beginning to understand what you're carrying or you've been at this work for years, I'll help you build something from there.

Even when we try to move forward, the effects of trauma can continue to influence how we feel and respond. Many of the people I work with have already tried to move ahead. They've talked about what happened, understood it intellectually, & still found themselves back in the same patterns, the same responses, the same exhaustion. If that sounds familiar, you're not failing at healing. You may only need a different kind of help. A significant part of what I do involves helping clients understand their own nervous system — why it responds the way it does, what it's been protecting, and how to work with it rather than against it. This isn't abstract. It's practical, specific, and often the missing piece for people who have done a lot of work but still feel stuck at a level they can't quite reach through insight alone.

I specialize in first responders and healthcare professionals who carry the particular weight of chronic crisis exposure — people who understand resilience professionally but are navigating what it costs them. I take the responsibility of trauma work seriously — more seriously, perhaps, than most. I stay current with research, I think carefully about the ethics of this work, and I pay close attention to where each client is in their healing journey before taking the next step.

That deliberateness isn't caution for its own sake. It's respect — for the complexity of trauma, for the courage it takes to address it, and for the person sitting across from me.

My presence in sessions is quiet and attentive. I notice things. I offer feedback and suggestions carefully .My approach adapts as you grow — attending to your history, your relationships, and the patterns that have formed around your experiences. We'll build emotional awareness, develop practical tools, and work toward something genuinely sustainable.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona and hold a master’s degree in clinical Mental Health Counseling. My professional journey as a counselor has allowed me to sit with various individuals. My unique experiences have inspired me to create a therapy space that welcomes creativity, cultivates collaboration, and pursues authenticity.

Create and live the meaning of your life, whether by improving relationships, thriving within your career, enduring struggle, or saying goodbye. We can help you overcome limiting beliefs or patterns. We can help you embrace new perspectives and solve the problems that need solving. We can help you transcend any setbacks you have experienced, and determine how you can best serve others. Therapy does not have to be rigid; humor is encouraged. We can have fun while applying the best techniques psychology has produced.
