I believe one of the most important parts of therapy is having a space where you feel comfortable being yourself. My goal is to create an environment where you feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. I bring experience in both mental health and education, which has allowed me to work with children, adolescents, adults, parents, and families from many different backgrounds and life experiences.
I especially enjoy helping clients navigate anxiety, stress, emotional regulation, family and relationship challenges, school-related concerns, difficult life experiences, and major transitions. I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel uncomfortable, especially if you are used to being the person who handles everything on your own. You do not have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. We can start exactly where you are.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor, I have a Master's Degree in Professional Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy. I am very passionate about working with adults. It is essential to provide a safe environment where clients will be heard and not judged. We will explore your concerns and use effective therapeutic methods to help you work through them. As an LPC Supervisor, I am also passionate about ethically guiding new counselors in the field. I am also a doctoral student pursuing my PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision.
I’m a Doctor of Nursing Practice–trained Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a career shaped by service, compassion, and a genuine love for helping people feel seen, supported, and capable of healing. Before becoming a PMHNP, I spent many years as a CNA and later earned my BSN from the University of the Incarnate Word in 2015 in San Antonio, TX. I worked bedside at University Hospital, transitioned to hospice in 2016, and later served in case management at UTHSCSA. In 2023, I began my DNP–PMHNP program, completing it while working full time at Clarity Child Guidance Center. On December 13th, 2025, I was officially granted the title of “Dr.”, became board certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner on February 9th, 2026, and finally obtained my APRN with the Texas Board of Nursing on March 12th, 2026!
My doctoral project focused on reducing seclusion rates for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder using evidence‐based, trauma‐informed interventions—an area close to my heart as a parent of a special‐needs child. I’m passionate about geriatric psychiatry and child & adolescent psychiatry, and I bring a calm, grounded, and collaborative style to treatment.
I also briefly served in the United States Air Force, an experience that strengthened my commitment to resilience, service, and advocacy. Today, I continue to advocate for women affected by domestic violence, helping them reclaim safety, confidence, and possibility.
On a personal note, I’m a mom of two boys, happily married for 11 years, and the proud owner of four dogs. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me drinking coffee, shopping for plants, collecting perfumes, baking, cooking, or spending time with family and friends. These parts of my life help me stay balanced, grounded, and connected—values I bring into every therapeutic relationship.

Hello everyone! My name is Pablo and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona. I am an Army veteran and after my time in service, I received my Masters from Grand Canyon University and have been practicing therapy for about 3 years. I have about eight years overall experience in mental health working with a variety of clients from Serious Mental Illness (SMI) population to providing support to community members within Pima and Pinal County as a Co-Responder, working alongside Pinal County Sheriff and Tucson Police Department. Beyond therapy, I'm an avid outdoor enthusiast, finding joy in hiking and weight lifting. My passion for Jiu Jitsu keeps me grounded, and I nurture my spirit through my faith. Though my social circle is small, I intentionally invest my time in cultivating healthy relationships with family and loved ones, cherishing these connections deeply.
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with more than two decades of experience in emergency medicine, nursing, education, and behavioral health. My passion for caring for veterans, first responders, and their families has been shaped by both my professional experience and my life as the wife of a United States Marine Corps veteran and career firefighter.
My journey in healthcare began in 2003 as a youth member of Emergency Medical Services. I went on to serve as both a volunteer and paid EMT and eventually became Sergeant of the Montclair Ambulance Unit, where I developed a Community Response and Education Program focused on outreach, wellness, and resilience.
I earned my BS in Criminal Justice with a minor in Juvenile Corrections and Forensics, followed by my BSN from Caldwell College, MSN in Nursing Education from the University of Phoenix, and PMHNP degree from Purdue University. Throughout my nursing career, I have worked in emergency departments, Level I Shock Trauma Centers, corrections, flight nursing, case management, mobile intensive care, and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Education has remained an important part of my career. I have taught nursing students in psychiatric nursing, pediatrics, obstetrics, epidemiology, and critical care and have presented nationally on PTSD prevention and resilience among first responders.
Today, I serve as a PMHNP and Director of Family Wellness and Resilience for Heroes Anchor. I specialize in compassionate, trauma-informed care for veterans, first responders, and their families, while also working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, relationship challenges, emotional dysregulation, and major life transitions.
My goal is to create a space where you feel understood as a whole person—not simply as a diagnosis.
I've been a helping professional now for over twenty years. My career began as a Licensed Vocational Nurse/LVN working with those affected by physical health conditions. Additionally, my counseling background includes providing individual & group therapy to those impacted by suicidal ideation/thoughts, PTSD, mood disorders, grief and more.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with extensive experience working with children, teens, adults, and families. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and emotional regulation. I provide culturally sensitive care in English, Spanish, and Russian and strive to create a safe, respectful, and supportive space where clients feel heard and understood.
