CPT (CPT) Therapists in Alhambra, AZ

Clients often share that they feel at ease working with me because I bring warmth, authenticity, and genuine care into each session. I value real connection and strive to create a space where clients can show up exactly as they are—without pretense or pressure. While I maintain a professional approach, I also believe that being human together matters; I’m genuine in my communication, often imperfect, and always deeply invested in helping clients feel understood and supported as they move toward healing and growth.

Life is full of exciting and challenging situations. During therapy, we are a team. We work together to understand your life, your goals and what's important to you. I can help you understand the reasons for feelings and behaviors. We use your strengths to help you feel good about your life!

VHA- and Stanford-trained psychologist specializing in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, burnout, and relationship challenges for individuals, couples, veterans, first responders, and healthcare professionals.

I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and depressive disorders. My goal is to provide a warm and safe environment in which we can work toward your goals for recovery and healing. Working together, you can meet your goals and live a better life.

I help people create more balance in their lives by learning when to pause, be present, and step out of the constant pressure of “what’s next.” Many individuals find themselves shaped by old patterns or past experiences that make it hard to move forward. My approach focuses on helping you ride the waves of life with greater resilience—navigating the unpredictable storms rather than feeling anchored in them. While we can’t prepare for every unexpected moment, we can build the tools and skills to manage whatever comes our way. Tides shift, storms pass, and calmer waters are possible. I don’t believe in a one‑size‑fits‑all approach. I tailor treatment to your preferences, goals, schedule, and life circumstances. I also offer structured, evidence‑based therapies when a more guided path is helpful. With over 15 years of experience supporting individuals with a wide range of concerns, I bring both flexibility and clinical depth to the work we do together. For more information, please visit my website. You’ll find a secure, private patient portal with built‑in video sessions, scheduling, communication, and payment options—all in one encrypted, easy‑to‑use platform, including a mobile app for added convenience.

Alhambra is a west-central Phoenix urban village, a dense, working-class area with large Latino and refugee-background communities and some of the city's most affordable neighborhoods. Economic precarity, immigration-related stress, and thin neighborhood-level services shape mental health access, with community health centers doing much of the work. Phoenix's central-city providers and telehealth extend the options.
