That saying, "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger" -- I think it should be "What doesn't kill me makes me suffer." So many people feel unheard, disconnected, tired, worthless, fearful, sad, anxious and forgettable. They need the skills to nurture their resilience, to discern their incredible value. There's a loneliness in struggling. But I'm here to help you heal yourself with a new, creative perspective and find resources you didn't know you possessed.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 6.1 mi away • Tempe, AZ


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.

To anyone watching from the outside, you have it together. You execute, you deliver, and you keep moving forward. But beneath the surface, the engine never actually idles.

You live in a state of high-functioning exhaustion, navigating an internal friction where past stress, unresolved experiences, and relentless self-imposed standards quietly dictate how you operate. You’ve likely tried out-thinking the pressure, relying on sheer discipline, or pushing through the static, only to find yourself feeling disconnected from the very life and goals you’ve worked so hard to build.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I hold a B.S. in Psychology from Arizona State University and a Master’s in Counseling from Ottawa University, with a concentration in the treatment of trauma, abuse, and deprivation. I have years of experience treating anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, and addiction. I also have a focus in the support of medical professionals, lawyers, executives, and other high-performers. I'm fluent in English and Arabic, and provide a space where immigrant and first-generation clients feel deeply 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'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.
