You may look like you’re holding it together on the outside, but inside you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck. Maybe stress and anxiety have become your normal, your relationships feel harder than they should, or you’re carrying things from the past that still affect you today. I’m Daed, a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Arizona with over 13 years of experience helping children, teens, adults, and families navigate life’s challenges. I provide a warm, supportive, and real space where you can talk openly, feel understood, and start making meaningful changes at your own pace. Therapy with me is about helping you feel lighter, more grounded, and more connected to yourself and the people around you.
I often use client centered skills during treatment and have a certification in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. During our initial encounter we will explore your needs and decide what would be the most appropriate therapy modality for you. I like to utilize the time on our firsts session to build rapport, gather background information, discuss needs and perhaps identify treatment goals. I like to leave some time for any questions you might have and discuss scheduling.
One of my strengths as a provider is my ability to connect with my clients and build a strong therapeutic relationship.
I enjoy working with client who are motivated and feel ready to make the changes they need. My specialty is working with children and adolescents however I very much enjoy working with adults . I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma, history of abuse and the symptoms associated with PTSD. We will collaborate to create a treatment plan that feels manageable to you with the purpose of helping you learn to cope with your symptoms.
