Therapists in Pima County, AZ

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and certified school psychologist . I have over 30 years of experience across a variety of settings including outpatient clinics, psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment for children and adolescents and group homes for adjudicated youth. Years ago I was also a teacher and special education director. I spent the last 17 years working in community mental health with children, adolescents and adults and also with adults in the prison system. In November 2015 I opened Palo Santo Psychotherapy and Wellness and realized my dream of working in a wellness setting with like-minded clinicians.

Whether it's our work, our relationships or our place in the world we often feel like we should be in a different place. Therapy can help us know ourselves better. My goal is to help you understand and appreciate yourself as you grow through awareness and increased authenticity. I will help you to understand how past experiences or current difficulties may be affecting your life. I truly believe in this work and strive to provide an atmosphere where you can feel safe and supported. Over time, we can explore how your courage and hope can be strengthened; how this work can enhance how you relate to the world and others around you.

Does your child have big emotions, anger, worries, or behaviors that you are struggling to understand? Has your child been through something difficult or just isn’t acting like themselves? If your child is expressing symptoms of anxiety, depression, or unexplained difficulties, a play-based model allows a safe environment to explore their feelings and needs affecting healthy functioning. I specialize in using a genuine, non-judgmental, supportive approach to helping children and families develop new ways of thinking and feeling, as well as learning new sets of skills for making choices and having healthier relationships.
