Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Arizona

Open-minded, and always willing to learn from my clients. I am passionate and warm.

I provide individual therapy services for adults experiencing general mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, health issues, relational issues, grief, life transitions, trauma, and/or abuse. ​My degrees include a BA in Psychology from UCSB, a Masters of Education in Counselor Education from ASU, and a PhD in Counseling Psychology from ASU. I completed an APA-Accredited Doctoral Internship in Psychology and a Postdoctoral Psychology Residency with at UC Davis.

With 34 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I've walked alongside people through some of the heaviest chapters of life — chronic illness, grief, trauma, and the kind of relationship pain that makes you question your own judgment. I earned my MSW at the University of Michigan and have spent three decades learning what actually helps people move forward.

I work exclusively via telehealth for adults and older adults in Michigan and Arizona. One thing I want you to know: I will never use AI to record our sessions. What you share with me stays between us.

A former client described working with me as "the right mix of supportive and challenging." I think that's what honest, effective therapy looks like — not just validation, but real engagement with where you want to go.

I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with three years of experience providing psychiatric care in an acute inpatient setting. My background has given me extensive experience working with individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, anxiety, psychosis, and complex psychiatric presentations.

I’m now expanding my practice to outpatient care, where I look forward to building longer-term therapeutic relationships and helping clients work toward meaningful, sustainable improvements in their mental health. I strive to provide compassionate, evidence-based, individualized care while creating a safe and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard and supported.

Hi, I’m Cliff, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing personalized, evidence-based care for adults and young adults across Arizona.

I specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and mood disorders through comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management. My approach is collaborative and practical—I focus on helping you feel better in your day-to-day life, not just on paper.

With experience in crisis, inpatient, and outpatient settings, I’m comfortable managing both straightforward and complex cases. I take time to listen, explain treatment options clearly, and work with you to find a plan that actually works.

Appointments are offered via secure telehealth, making it easy to access care from the comfort of your home.
