Hi! I\'m Anthony, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Arizona with more than 10 years of practice in the mental and behavioral health field.

I have extensive experience working with people across the spectrum of general mental health, providing client-centered care in both residential and outpatient settings. Specifically, I have had success in working with clients experiencing symptoms of post-traumatic stress, anxiety, grief, loss, or other significant life changes or challenges. I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families that have experienced the child welfare system or adoption. Additionally, I have had much success in working with young adults, athletes, or professionals seeking to maintain a healthy lifestyle while balancing careers, passions, continued education, andor family life.

If you are seeking to explore and develop healthier ways to respond and live, let\'s get to work. Drawing on years of experience, education, personal passion, and a bit of humor, we will work together to process and develop the skills you need to promote your overall mental and emotional health and well-being.
