Our therapists provide anxiety therapy in Tempe, AZ

I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 12 years of experience providing evidence-based psychiatric care to adolescents and adults. I support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, and challenges related to major life transitions. My approach is collaborative and person-centered, with an emphasis on understanding the full context of each client’s lived experience.

I earned my master’s degree in nursing from Walden University. I specialize in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, thoughtful medication management, and shared decision-making. When medication is part of treatment, I prioritize education, careful monitoring, and ongoing adjustments to ensure care aligns with each client’s goals and values.

I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. Whether you are seeking symptom relief, greater self-understanding, or support during a difficult season, I will work alongside you at a pace that feels right. Together, we will focus on meaningful progress and sustainable mental well-being.

I have a BFA in painting and an MSW, and over seventeen years of counseling experience. Prior to earning my MSW, I worked on a crisis line. My parents came from different cultural backgrounds, and I am a parent who has been both married and divorced. While I maintain a circle of family and close friends, I have also experienced multiple losses, and both of my parents are gone. My life experiences have helped me become a better counselor. I work particularly well with clients who struggle with grief, anxiety, and depression.

As a counselor, I take a humanistic and client-centered approach. To me, counseling is the constant asking of "What next?" — meaning that through both prosperous and difficult times, it is important to make sound, responsible decisions. I have collaborated with adults, children, and adolescents, and provided individual, group, and couples counseling.

The variety and breadth of my experiences have contributed to my effectiveness as a counselor. Counseling is a journey that can be illuminating, and fun, but also arduous and demanding. I look forward to accompanying you on that journey. 

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience providing evidence-based psychotherapy. I work with adults and couples navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, infidelity recovery, and relationship challenges. Many of my clients feel stuck in painful patterns, overwhelmed by past experiences, or disconnected from their confidence and direction. I focus on helping clients build emotional awareness, strengthen coping skills, and create healthier patterns in their lives and relationships. My approach is active, structured, and relational.

I earned my master's degree in professional counseling from Grand Canyon University. I use EMDR and evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients process experiences, regulate emotions, and move toward change. For couples, I utilize Gottman Method techniques to strengthen communication and rebuild trust.

My goal is to provide a calm, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow. Together, we will identify emotional roadblocks, develop practical tools, and build skills that support lasting progress. If you are ready to move beyond surviving and begin creating the life and relationships you want, I look forward to working with you.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change. I specialize in working with adults, adolescents, and couples seeking emotional healing, personal growth, and stronger connections in their lives. My approach focuses on helping clients develop self-awareness, emotional balance, and the tools needed to live in alignment with their authentic selves.

I earned my Master’s in Counseling from the University of Tennessee. My integrative style combines cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and person-centered approaches to support insight, healing, and self-compassion. Each session is tailored to meet your unique needs and goals for growth.

I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where you are fully seen, supported, and encouraged to thrive. My goal is to create a safe and empowering space where you can explore your story, uncover strengths, and move forward with confidence. You don’t have to do it alone—I’m here to walk with you toward lasting change.
