Astra Counseling

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Arizona. My past experience includes working in community mental health clinics, helping Veterans process their trauma at the VA, and doing psychotherapy with clients in private practice. My primary therapy approaches include trauma therapy, EMDR, attachment therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I have experience helping clients that are struggling with trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, career challenges, self-esteem, and issues related to addiction. While I work with many populations and mental health challenges, I specialize in the treatment of trauma. Trauma can have a tremendous impact on one’s nervous system which can lead to negative self-image, depression, anxiety, constant fear that something bad is going to happen, anger, performance issues at work, and relationship problems. We are often unaware that the way we are feeling is directly connected to traumatic incidents from the past. I can help you process the trauma in a healthy way so that intrusive symptoms such as these are drastically reduced or even eliminated.
