“Relational change is a process and not an event”

Edward is a clinically trained and Arizona-licensed social worker and marriage therapist committed to supporting the emotional growth of individuals and couples. He believes that trust in the professionalism and integrity of a relational therapist is essential for clients to fully embrace the possibilities of healing, growth, and long-term stability.

 Edward focuses on the strengths clients already possess, using these as a foundation for recovery and lifelong learning about relationships. He specializes in working with men of color, recognizing the unique challenges they may face in discovering and developing effective relational communication strategies.

 In addition, Edward offers premarital consultation to couples seeking to build a stable foundation for their relationship. He emphasizes that relational stability is often achieved through the introduction of practical tools and consistent practice between sessions. As Edward often reminds clients: “Relational change is a process, not an event.”

 The journey toward individual or couples therapy can feel daunting, and it’s normal to think, “No one has ever felt this way.” But therapy is not just about recovery—it’s about discovery. Edward welcomes you to take that first step and explore the possibilities of relational growth and stability.–
