Find the best therapist in Mesa, Arizona – without the wait

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor with a Master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. With over 10 years of experience, I work with children, teens, adults, and families, providing care that is compassionate, supportive, and tailored to each person’s unique experience. I know that reaching out for help isn’t always easy. My goal is to offer a space where you can feel comfortable, heard, and accepted just as you are—without judgment. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and practical. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), along with a trauma-informed perspective. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP), and I help clients work through anxiety, trauma, overwhelming emotions, relationship struggles, and life transitions in a way that feels manageable and real. I work with people of all ages and genuinely enjoy helping clients make sense of what they’re going through and find ways to feel more grounded and in control. Whether things feel heavy, confusing, or stuck, we can work together to move forward at your pace. As a bilingual therapist (English/Spanish), I want you to feel comfortable expressing yourself in the way that feels most natural to you. My hope is to help you recognize your strengths, feel more confident, and create meaningful change in your life. If you feel like we might be a good fit, I’d love to connect and support you.
