As a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Arizona, I bring more than 20 years of experience with anxiety, depression, aging, and chronic pain. My practice takes a holistic approach, using trauma-informed care with aspects of cognitive behavioral therapies. Congratulations on seeking help; searching for a therapist is the first brave step you can take!
My approach is collaborative and structured. We map how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, then use tools like cognitive reframing, behavioral activation, exposure/skills practice, and mindfulness. You’ll leave each session with a simple plan to try between visits, and we track progress together so care stays focused and effective.
After a session, you’ll usually leave with more clarity, a practical skill, and a simple plan you can use the same day. Sometimes you may feel briefly stirred up if we practiced something challenging—this is normal and we’ll give you tools to help it settle.
