We are currently accepting inquiries for our waitlist only.
Toni is a master’s level, associate licensed clinician and independent licensure is pending through the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners. Once this milestone is achieved, practice will be open for services!
I’m Toni - coffee loving, casual, somehow chaotic and Zen at the same time, mom and therapist - and I am so happy that you are considering Dandelion Wellness for your healing journey.
I have been in the mental health field for over a decade and bring a strong background in trauma-informed care, mental health, and leadership to the table.
My approach to therapy is flexible, warm, and compassionate. I will follow your lead but also offer guidance and direction in therapy when needed. Whether you need to vent, process, or heal, my goal is to meet you there and guide you through.
As a therapist, I love treating complex trauma, anxiety, overwhelm, and shut down. I also recognize that sometimes we don’t have the words to describe our experience and I enjoy helping people get to the bottom of what they feel and why. If you’re feeling stuck, living in fight or flight, and wondering how to move forward, I’d love the opportunity to walk with you on your journey.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, planning, and quiet activities like puzzles, baking, and reading. I am a mom in a blended family and have personal experience navigating my own anxiety, burnout, and rough waters related to complex family dynamics. I value a good sense of humor, acceptance of others, dignity, personal peace, and family.
Your relationship with your therapist is the most meaningful aspect of therapy. It is so important that you feel safe, heard, and connected.
