Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Scottsdale, AZ

I am a dual board-certified nurse practitioner. I graduated with my Family NP at Grand Canyon University in 2018.I graduated with my post-graduate cert as a Psychiatric Mental Nurse Practitioner at Wilkes University in 2022.I am constantly looking forward to continue my education to better serve my patients and to ensure that I am up-to-date with the latest advances in the fields of medicine and psychiatry.You will be treated with holistic care that combines traditional and alternative medicine.

I am from Lockport, Illinois and have lived in Phoenix AZ for over 25 years. I received my undergrad at Governor's state University and grad degree from Capella university. My specialty is Trauma, but I also work with many other problems. I work with children ages 10 to 18.

True healing begins by exploring how past experiences continue to impact the way you think, feel, and relate to others. How you show up in the relationships that matter most to you. Grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the weight of patterns you've carried for years have a way of becoming the water you swim in — familiar, exhausting, and nearly impossible to see clearly from the inside. You may have tried to push through, stay busy, or simply manage — and found that it only goes so far.

As an LCSW, I work with adults who are ready to understand what they've been carrying, not to relive it endlessly, but to finally set some of it down. My work draws on EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, and somatic awareness, because healing isn't only a cognitive process. It lives in the body too. In the tension you hold, the way your breath shifts, the physical echoes of experiences your mind has long tried to move past. When we work at that level, something shifts that talking alone often can't reach.

What makes my approach distinct is the attention I bring to the relationship between your inner world and your outer life. Complex relationship patterns, grief, and the slow erosion of self-confidence are rarely isolated concerns — they're connected, layered, and shaped by everything you've lived through. Together we'll make sense of those connections, understand what your nervous system has been protecting, and build something more sustainable than simply getting through the day.

My approach is relational and collaborative, grounded in genuine respect for your pace, your story, and your autonomy. I bring warmth, honesty, and steady curiosity to every session — and a deep belief that the relationship you develop with yourself is the foundation for everything else. Healing here isn't about performing progress or moving on before you're ready. It's about gradually coming home to yourself.

My approach to care integrates psychotherapy with medication management. I provide therapy for patients whose psychiatric medications I also manage, allowing for a coordinated and personalized treatment plan that supports both emotional and medical aspects of mental health.

With over 20 years of experience as a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner and now as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I am deeply committed to delivering compassionate, comprehensive care tailored to each individual’s unique needs. My approach integrates physical and mental health to support the whole person.

I specialize in:

• Mental health evaluations and medication management
• Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for substance use disorders
• Gender-affirming hormone therapy

I am dedicated to creating a safe, respectful space where all individuals feel heard, supported, and empowered on their journey to wellness.

Sleep is one of the most vital components of both mental and physical well-being. I’m passionate about helping people improve their sleep quality through evidence-based, personalized care. I provide in-depth diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of sleep disorders, with a special focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)—the gold standard, non-medication approach to treating chronic insomnia. Whether you're struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep, or wake up feeling refreshed, I’m here to help you reclaim restful, restorative sleep.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like something is holding you back? Is something impeding you from reaching your full potential? Are you feeling stuck and overwhelmed? Are the ways that you've learned to deal with life no longer working? Life can be challenging but there are solutions. We can work together and empower you to identify goals and remove obstacles that may be preventing you from reaching your full potential and create more fulfilling relationships in your life. Together, we'll build healthier coping strategies, while transforming the impact of past experiences on your present. You will feel more in control, resilient, & empowered to handle life’s challenges.

I primarily work with women who are feeling emotionally drained, stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, or who no longer recognize who they used to be. Many women I work with grew up learning to prioritize others’ needs, manage everyone else’s emotions, and silence their own. Over time, this can lead to relationships that are never quite fulfilling and create a constant sense of self-doubt or exhaustion. I support clients with strengthening their confidence, building their self-worth and ability to trust themselves, and to be able to create relationships that feel safe with healthier emotional boundaries.

My goal is to provide a safe environment for my clients to come and talk about their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, and work towards positive self-acceptance and love.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, unfocused, or not like yourself? Anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and mood changes can interfere with work, school, and relationships — even when you’re trying your best to manage.

Also, are you feeling lost or overwhelmed by life transitions, relationship challenges, or past experiences? If worry, guilt, or self-doubt are affecting your happiness and relationships, you don’t have to face it alone.
