Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Phoenix, AZ

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults, adolescents, and couples navigating life’s challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. I earned my Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University and have additional training in EMDR. I offer services in both English and Spanish, creating a space where clients can express themselves comfortably and authentically. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard and understood.

I work with people who feel caught between who they've been and who they're becoming. Many of my clients are navigating trauma, identity shifts, major life transitions, or a longing to feel more connected to themselves and the people around them. Often, they arrive feeling overwhelmed by change, weighed down by old roles or patterns, and uncertain about what comes next.

My goal is to create a space where you can slow down, explore what you're carrying, and begin moving toward a life that feels more authentic, grounded, and aligned with who you are.

I am a dual board-certified nurse practitioner. I graduated with my Family NP at Grand Canyon University in 2018.I graduated with my post-graduate cert as a Psychiatric Mental Nurse Practitioner at Wilkes University in 2022.I am constantly looking forward to continue my education to better serve my patients and to ensure that I am up-to-date with the latest advances in the fields of medicine and psychiatry.You will be treated with holistic care that combines traditional and alternative medicine.
