I am a licensed clinical therapist and life coach with extensive experience helping individuals create meaningful, lasting change in their lives. My work is focused on supporting people who are high-functioning yet feel stuck, overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or uncertain about their next steps. Many of the clients I work with are successful on the outside but internally struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, relationship challenges, burnout, or difficulty following through on the changes they know they need to make. I bring a results-oriented, structured, and insight-driven approach to my work. As a clinician, I am trained to assess emotional patterns, behavioral responses, and underlying drivers that keep people stuck. As a life coach, I help clients move forward with clarity, accountability, and intention. This dual lens allows me to meet clients where they are emotionally while also helping them create practical, forward-moving change in their daily lives. Clients often seek me out for my ability to quickly identify core issues, provide direct and thoughtful feedback, and help them gain perspective without judgment. I am known for balancing compassion with honesty and for helping clients feel both supported and challenged in ways that lead to real progress. My style is collaborative, grounded, and focused on building sustainable tools rather than temporary relief. I work with individuals who are ready to be intentional about their growth and committed to showing up for the process. Whether clients are navigating personal transitions, relationship concerns, emotional regulation, or a desire for greater fulfillment and direction, my goal is to help them feel more confident, grounded, and capable of creating the life they want to live.

I’m a collaborative therapist who genuinely loves this work and that comes through in every session. I care deeply about the people I work with, and I see myself as part of your team, not just someone you report to. Outside of the office, I stay active, spend time outdoors, and keep investing in my own growth. I use the same tools I teach, because mental health is something we all have to work at. I believe healing is deeply personal. My job isn’t to hand you a roadmap, it’s to help you find your own strengths, build real confidence, and move toward the life you actually want.

Hello, I am glad you took the time to read my biography. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has a heart for people who are looking for empowerment and growth. I personally know what this feels like and how difficult it can be. I was blessed to have people in my life to help me during my "trying times." Honestly, I still do. I am Bi-lingual, (Spanish) and have been practicing for 13 years. I have worked with teenagers, adults, and couples. I do not work with children due to my lack of training. My experience entails working with addictions and various disorders. I believe in both therapy and medication and am cultural competent to utilize as resources. My heart is working with trauma and am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I believe that my job is to have my clients get to the point where they are no longer needing my services. That's right, to get myself fired! I believe that we were created in the image of the Creator which means the ability to love and be loved and to have the freedom to make wise decisions which help navigate us through this journey we are on. Thank you again for reading my biography. I wish you the freedom you are looking for and believe YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Born and raised in Arizona. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Phoenix. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies with an emphasis in Learning and Pedagogy from Northern Arizona University and my Masters of Social Work from Arizona State University. I’m a practitioner who believes healing doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time. I’m deeply curious about people, their stories, their patterns, and the small moments that shape who they are. I became a therapist because I’ve always been drawn to the spaces where people get real. I saw how powerful it can be when someone feels truly seen, heard, not fixed, not judged, just understood. Therapy, to me, is a collaborative process: a place to unburden yourself and release what’s been weighing on you. Therapy is a place to reconnect with yourself and build tools that actually fit your life. Outside the therapy space, I’m someone who appreciates the little things like spending time with family and friends around the dinner table, good coffee, thoughtful books, and finding joy in everyday moments. I bring that same grounded, human approach into my work.

I work with therapists, educators, leaders, and helpers—the ones everyone else leans on. On the outside, you’re showing up, holding it together, doing the work. On the inside, you may be carrying burnout, grief, or unresolved trauma that hasn’t had a place to land. If you’re used to being the strong one but know something needs to shift, you’re in the right place. My work is focused on trauma recovery, grief, and emotional healing using evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I don’t do surface-level work. We get to the root—while also building practical, real-life strategies that help you feel more regulated, clear, and in control of your life again. This is a space where you don’t have to perform, fix, or carry anyone else—just show up as you are. I’m licensed in Arizona, Minnesota, and Ohio, and I work with clients who are ready for honest, meaningful change. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself, we’ll work through it—together. Not everyone is the right fit for this work, and that matters. Booking requires confirmation to ensure alignment, because this space is intentional. When you’re ready, we begin.

I believe one of the most valuable investments we can make is in ourselves. Seeking therapy is a meaningful step toward growth, healing, and building a life that feels more aligned with who you are and what you want. Whether you are navigating the stressors of daily life, experiencing overwhelming emotions, struggling to understand or communicate your feelings, or working through patterns of behavior that no longer serve you, we can work collaboratively to identify your goals and take intentional steps toward achieving them. I prioritize creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable exploring your experiences openly. A strong therapeutic relationship is central to the work we do, and I strive to foster a space where you feel both understood and appropriately challenged. My approach is empathetic yet direct—I will validate your experiences while also helping you build insight, develop new perspectives, and take actionable steps toward change. I work primarily with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and eating disorders. My approach is integrative, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and psychodynamic interventions. This allows me to tailor treatment to your unique needs, whether that involves building coping skills, processing past experiences, improving emotional regulation, or addressing underlying patterns that contribute to distress. My goal is to empower you with the tools, insight, and confidence needed not only to meet your goals but to sustain progress over time. Therapy is not just about symptom relief—it is about creating lasting change, improving overall functioning, and helping you feel more in control of your life.

Hello! I’m excited to be a part of the team at Grow Therapy. I’m a licensed clinical psychologist and I completed my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from California Lutheran University in 2016. My background includes working in college/university psychological service centers, an outpatient psychiatric center, and an outpatient treatment program specializing in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). More recently, I’ve completed EMDRIA approved EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) training. Prior to my doctoral training at Cal Lu, I worked at a non-profit community counseling center in Santa Barbara, CA. The way your course of therapy unfolds will depend on a number of things, including your goals for therapy, your strengths, and your history. In our sessions, I will be focusing on understanding your needs and goals, and getting to know you as a whole person. By exploring your current life and personal history, we develop an understanding of why you think, feel and behave as you do. Therapy is a place to focus on yourself, which is a rare opportunity in our extraordinarily busy lives. Therapy can help you solve a specific problem, provide symptom relief, gain more general self-acceptance, as well as create personal change. I work collaboratively with individuals struggling with issues including: Anxiety and Panic, Depression, Emotion Dysregulation, Trauma, Insecurity and Fearfulness, Problems with Alcohol and Drug-Use, Grief and Loss, Self-Acceptance, Stress, Sexuality, Relationship Difficulties, and Peak Performance. I utilize evidence-based techniques including CBT and DBT, and have found through experience that these methods combine well with psychodynamic/insight oriented therapies. My knowledge, experience, and care are dedicated to helping clients meet their goals and live a more fulfilled life.

So, if you are tired of being tired, anxious, sad, depressed and you're just going through the motions, feeling stuck in dysfunctional patterns that drain you; AND you are willing to do the work to get well, then you need skilled, compassionate support to help you get unstuck and get your life back on track, so that you can experience purposeful living.

I’ll support you, but I’ll also challenge you when you’re stuck in patterns that aren’t serving you. You don’t have to have the right words or a clear starting point, just showing up is enough.

My name is Elizabeth and I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the states of Texas and Arizona. I am also a certified school counselor and transitioned to full-time mental health counseling after working as a high school counselor. I have been working as a counselor for 10 years, primarily in the school setting. I helped my students with issues such as family problems, academic struggles, relationship issues, trauma/abuse, ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, perfectionism, grief, and suicidal ideation. Before working as a counselor, I was an elementary teacher for 6 years. I have experience working with adults and adolescents. I love seeing my clients understand themselves better and improve their mental health. I feel comfortable counseling people from a variety of backgrounds, especially those whose backgrounds are different than my own. My entire professional career has been spent with a primarily Hispanic population, but I am comfortable with other cultures, as well. I am a big fan of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and Solutions-focused therapy, but I try to cater my counseling to each client, so I often incorporate different counseling philosophies as needed. I believe my clients are the experts on their own lives and I want to work with them to improve their contentment, coping skills, and mental health. 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.

Hello! Congratulations on taking this step toward living a happier and more meaningful life! It takes courage! I received a Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy in 1999 at Auburn University in Alabama and have been providing care since then. I've worked as a full-time clinician, mentored and provided clinical supervision to new professionals and also oversaw a community behavioral health center for more than a decade as the clinical director. Most recently, I provided military and family life counseling at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson before opening a full-time private practice. An important goal of mine is to help you feel comfortable and confident that counseling is a safe place. I operate from a position of compassion and empathy. Together we will work through the issues you're struggling with. I do not take the stance that I'm the expert on your life but instead will guide you through the change process at your own pace and readiness.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Arizona rather than a city like Phoenix?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Arizona. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Arizona from Tucson to Mesa! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Arizona.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Depression?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Depression, is filtering therapists in Arizona that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
