Therapist Overview
I have experience in addiction, trauma, suicidality, anxiety, depression and bipolar disorders. I have worked with clients experiencing life transitions involving grief/loss, anger/resentment and feelings of social and personal anomie. I earned a Ph.D. degree in Psychology from Arizona State University (1989) and a Master of Arts degree in Counseling (2014) from Ottawa University. Before I entered the counseling profession, I was residential faculty at Phoenix College teaching classes in Psychology, Sociology and Women’s Studies for 25 years. I was born in El Paso, Texas to Mexican-American parents and moved to Arizona in 1979. I believe life is not about the destination but about the journey and sometimes we run into rough spots along the way. Let me walk beside you for a while until you get past the rough spots and are able to continue on your own. Counseling is a process that you control by telling me what you want to accomplish and then we work together to get there. Sharing your story with a stranger is sometimes hard. I want to be your ally in therapy and provide a safe space where you can talk and be yourself without fear of judgment. I promise to be honest with you and support you as you explore who you are and who you want to be. I will work to earn your trust and to shine a light on the road ahead as we travel.
