“It’s time to feel better.” If you’ve had this thought, or someone has mentioned this, if you’ve been putting off getting help, take the first step, make an appointment. The next step in therapy is to begin where you are…right now. Then the focus becomes building resilience, increasing coping strategies, and getting back to living your best life. My resilience comes from nature...my horses, my dogs, a love of hiking and photography. All of these are proven to reduce stress, increase oxytocin, and improve wellbeing.

My entire professional career has been spent with a primarily Hispanic population, but I am comfortable with other cultures, as well.

I believe it is important and beneficial to have a nonjudgmental, unbiased person to talk to. This is one of the best parts of counseling. I often use humor to lighten the mood when counseling. I find this helps grow my relationships with my clients. Congratulations on making the first step towards getting help. I would love to work with you.

Welcome, I'm Andrea, Perhaps you've been considering reaching out for some time. Are you noticing the past affecting your current relationships, or that strategies that once worked for you no longer do? You might even find yourself dismissive of inspirational content on social media. I help people understand the origins of their communication patterns and learn how to communicate more effectively. This reduces unnecessary conflict and misunderstandings at work, home, and in relationships. Whether you're facing relationship challenges, workplace stress, the demands of parenthood, or struggling with past trauma—or a combination of these—you've found a place of support and optimism. Together, we will use your strengths, my expertise, and evidence-based techniques to help you achieve your treatment goals. Let's begin your new journey together!

I am a kind, compassionate therapist with a strong desire to help those struggling with all of life's emotional challenges. Asking for help is the first step in overcoming obstacles in life. The overwhelming fears and doubts that you can actually win the battle against anxiety, depression, or other emotional struggles can seem impossible. Trust me when I say, that it is possible! By increasing coping skills, and identifying the obstacles that are getting in the way, we can work together to get you back to the best version of you that you can be.

Hello and welcome. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Arizona. I provide general mental health counseling for teens (13+) and adults with a specialization in treating Substance Use Disorders (SUDs). While you don't need to have a substance use issue to see me, I do have personal experience navigating those challenges. While my approach to treatment is eclectic based on individual needs, I generally employ interventions from CBT, DBT and Motivational Interviewing. I received my BA in Literature from the State University of New York in 1995 and my MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from University of Phoenix in 2021.

My mission is simple: to help women move from surviving to thriving. To help you rebuild confidence, reconnect with yourself, and move forward into a life that feels grounded, balanced, and authentic. You deserve more than just “getting by.” You deserve peace, clarity, and joy. Therapy is not about fixing you—you are not broken. It’s about uncovering the strength that has always been within you and learning how to live in alignment with your true self. If you are ready to begin—or even if you’re just curious about what healing could look like—I welcome you to take that step. I look forward to walking this journey with you.

I am passionate about helping people find beauty and peace in all of their broken pieces. I work diligently to create a safe space for you to share without fear of judgment, so we can piece you back together into a healthier and happier you. I pursued my career because it gives me a sense of purpose to help people find joy in life again, or sometimes for the first time.
