Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Arizona

I am passionate about guiding others on their path toward healing & believe that meaningful healing unfolds within the safety of supportive relationships. I specialize in working with women & helping professionals experiencing burnout, trauma, low self-esteem, and life transitions. I use a trauma-informed & integrative approach to support deeper healing beyond managing symptoms by helping you address the root cause of your distress. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and client-centered meaning you are involved in treatment making decisions, and we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. I use modalities such as EMDR, somatic therapy, and parts work when appropriate. I also have experience utilizing DBT, CBT, TF-CBT, and ACT. I am also a board-approved supervisor & enjoy working with emerging clinicians. I offer a therapy group called Steady Clinician that supports new clinicians in preventing burnout, nervous system regulation, & building sustainable practices.

I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner providing holistic psychiatric care using an integrative approach that is guided by compassion and empathy. My professional career has been dedicated to helping others. I have always had an interest in the brain and human behavior, earning degrees within psychology, special education, nursing, and psychiatric/mental health. With a diverse background spanning over two decades in public education and healthcare settings, I bring a unique blend of expertise to my practice. Before working in healthcare, I worked with adolescents in the public education setting for nearly two decades where I conduced psycho-educational evaluations for children with emotional and learning differences, created individualized education plans, and served as a fierce advocate for students with special needs. Motivated to expand my scope and deepen my impact, I pursued a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Texas at Arlington, followed by a Master of Science in Nursing degree with a focus on psychiatric and mental health from Wilkes University. During my 2-year residency as an inpatient psychiatric nurse for adolescents and adults, I honed my clinical skills and developed a deep understanding of the complexities of mental health disorders. I bring an easy-going demeanor and open-minded approach to my practice, ensuring every client feels comfortable and supported on their path to wellness. I look forward to connecting with you! Please note that I do not prescribe controlled substances to my telehealth clients.

I'm a mix of all sorts of cultural influences - hence my fascination with languages and helping my clients adapt to change. My mother tongue is English, but I also grew up speaking Spanish, with my years in Buenos Aires leaving me with an unmistakably Argentinian accent (which other Spanish- speakers tend to sometimes 'lovingly mock'). My European side is thanks to over 30 years spent living and working in France, where I picked up not only an incurable love for lavender crème brûlée and other deliciously fattening foods, but the ability to provide therapy in fluent French. All in all, this means that immigrants, foreigners, expats; you're my people!
