About

I see clients in-person in Arizona and offer virtual sessions for clients in Texas. I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, AAPI communities, and life transitions. I understand the challenges that personal growth and healing may bring. I am dedicated to providing an all-inclusive, safe space for clients to explore and express themselves freely. Through a collaborative effort between client and counselor, I strive to help clients gain the necessary tools for greater self-awareness, understanding, and overall healing. I have a strong passion for guiding and helping individuals reach a healthy well-being as well as their own self-development and healing goals. I am a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP) and am trained in EMDR, CBT, DBT, Play therapy, and Somatic Based Practices to provide resources to meet the needs of each individual, unique client. I believe that counseling is not a one-size-fits-all approach and that because each journey is unique, one’s healing process will be too. I hope for the opportunity to support your journey toward a happier and more fulfilling life. Specialties: I work with all ages and I am here to support you in the journey you are looking to embark on. My space is a non-judgmental, welcoming space to any and everyone looking for support. Take this next step for yourself, and I hope to be able to walk alongside you on this journey! Credentials & Experience: I am a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP) and am trained in EMDR. I am an associate-licensed therapist in Arizona and Texas and am under the clinical supervision Cassie Harlan, LPC-S - 75443 (TX).

"I am trained in various therapy modalities and I believe every client may resonate better with their own specific modalities. Because counseling is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and that because each person's journey is unique, one's healing process will be too."
