Therapists in Tucson, AZ

I offer an empathic, non-judgmental approach to anyone needing a supportive, client-centered session, based on your individual needs. My approach is direct and active, targeted to anyone looking to either change certain details of their life or work on personal empowerment. My family therapy focuses on enhancing communication, building stronger connections, and repairing emotional wounds.

Every journey begins with the first step. Everyone's journey, and the reason for setting out on that journey, is different. It is my honor to work with you on this journey, recognizing and understanding that you know what is best for you, your life, and your goals of recovery, growth and change. I am a licensed social worker who uses a variety of modalities, validation and understanding to assist you in taking the next steps that are right for you.

I am licensed psychotherapist and certified in psychoanalysis with 27 years of experience. I would like to offer my training and expertise in helping you work through your difficulties and problems with compassion. In this process you will understand yourself more deeply, address the obstacles that keep you from doing and feeling better, and help you have the life, relationship and work you have wanted. I have experience and success in helping individuals and couples with depression, anxiety, trauma, loss, eating disorders, relationship issues and especially long-term problems.

Life sometimes (or often!) presents us with challenges, obstacles and opportunities. These can lead to suffering, self-doubt, self-criticism, or feeling lost and unfulfilled. There are times when we identify something in our lives that we want to change (or come to accept) - yet we find ourselves stuck and unable to shift out of our patterns. I am here to help you get "un-stuck" and to create a more meaningful and serene life. Psychotherapy can catalyze a process of overcoming barriers that stand in your way through attunement, curiosity, and compassion.

I am a caring, compassionate Therapist who is dedicated to providing a safe, supportive environment where you can develop the internal strength and resiliency to cope with life’s challenges. My specialties include providing treatment for family relational problems, Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, Self-esteem issues, Stress management, and Adjustment disorders.

Everyone experiences challenges and stress in their lives. Would you like to have the ability to better balance your emotions and stress as well as improve your relationships? I hope that my holistic and strength based counseling services can help! I have been in the mental health field for over 22 years. I work with adults, couples, families, children, young adults, as well as offering trainings to professionals in the community. I utilize integrative approaches to help people address issues like anxiety, depression, addictive patterns, fertility issues, relationship challenges, parenting issues, and unresolved trauma.
