Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Anthony! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Arizona and Texas with more than 10 years of experience in the mental and behavioral health field. I currently see clients part-time while pursuing my PhD at Arizona State University. My background includes work in both residential and outpatient settings, developing a focus on providing compassionate, client-centered care to support individuals navigating a wide range of mental health challenges.

My approach to therapy

In both residential and outpatient settings, I’ve walked alongside clients facing trauma, anxiety, grief, and significant life transitions. I use a client-centered approach that blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Interpersonal Process Therapy, focusing on how relationships and life experiences influence how we think, feel, and respond.

What you can expect from me

Everyone deserves meaningful support, yet too often society encourages us to “push through” challenges alone. In therapy, you’ll have the space to explore your experiences, strengthen relationships, and develop healthier coping methods. My goal is to help you move toward greater balance and fulfillment. If you’re ready to take that step, let’s get started.
