Licensed to practice in Arizona and accepts 22 insurances. Specializes in Anxiety, Perinatal Mental Health, Grief and 10 more.
Greetings! I have been in the mental health field for about 20 years in various capacities and more recently dedicated as a therapist for almost the last 7 years. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that has primarily served Arizona communities. My earlier training has prepared me for work with young children and families who have experienced trauma. I have also served adults, young to middle- age addressing college and career related challenges and also in supporting older adult needs such as navigating life transitions, parent-child relationships, estrangement and relationship conflict. I also focus on anxiety, depression, grief, chronic medical needs/illness, such as caregiver fatigue, dementia/Alzheimer's, terminal illness, and women's health (from pregnancy to women's medical needs in older adults).
For our first appointment together, I will often start with a "meet and greet" approach to briefly get to know each other, and understand your current challenges and concerns. I will also review any questions you may have. We will end with a shared plan for moving forward, that will focus on addressing your unique needs.
I take a humanistic approach. This means I want to ensure you feel seen, heard and respected. I will take an approach of supporting you, working alongside you to identify your inner strengths, focus on your self-views, to enhance your own authentic self.
I enjoy working with individuals who are professionals, parents, caregivers and those that are ready to address the relationship they have with themselves. I am here to support those who are ready to challenge themselves emotionally and focus on enhancing their well-being through increase of consciousness. I often incorporate mind-body practice.

I recommend to start therapy with the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as it is known for its practical, skills-based approach. CBT focuses on understanding the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sometimes we can fall into unhelpful thinking patterns, and with CBT we will learn more helpful ways of thinking that can be flexible.
For more intense symptom management or for individuals with a history of a traumatic experience(s), I recommend using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). It’s a therapy approach designed to help the brain process and heal from distressing or traumatic experiences. When we have experienced a traumatic event, the memory can stay in the nervous system, so it may still feel intense. With EMDR, we recall those memories with the help of bilateral stimulation, sometimes in form of eye movements or tapping, which helps your brain reprocess the memory, without the need to address every detail about what happened.

Trying to navigate my thought and finding ways to cope and be grounded. She was very understanding and very helpful.

Even on my first appointment, Roxana allowed me to dive right into my concerns and she provided multiple tools to help me. She made me feel validated from start to finish. I can’t wait to continue working with her.
