Therapists in Tucson, AZ

Finding a good therapist is really hard. And even if you find a good one there still might be personality issues or incompatibilities. To be honest, there's not a lot that can be done about this, compatibility issues are real and finding something that works is hard. What I can tell you is that I am a good therapist, I strike a balance between active listening, and giving coaching and clarification of issues when you're stuck spinning in your own head. I practice a non-judgmental approach which means I can call you out without introducing shame or guilt.

I offer therapy for people who are seeking growth or change but feel stuck about how to move forward. This may be wanting a deeper connection to yourself and others, difficulties with stress, mood, or emotions, trouble adjusting to a life transition/event, relationship challenges, or identity issues. I value building a trusting therapeutic relationship that inspires openness, curiosity, and vulnerability; a place where lasting change unfolds. I strive to provide an environment in which you can speak your truth and be heard with respect and acceptance. I welcome folks of all genders, sexual orientations, lifestyles, and relationship structures.

I work to provide a space where clients experience a nonjudgemental, explorative, and insightful therapeutic environment. I value your autonomy and believe the individual knows themselves best. We will work together to find ways to empower you and your strengths while identifying areas of distress and areas for growth to help you live a more balanced and enjoyable life.

SORRY...NOT NOW SCHEDULING NEW CLIENTS. I believe we can change by learning new behaviors and new ways of understanding. By working in the present, we can change the future. Even though I use humor, I know the work can be difficult. I am honored to be part of that work with my clients and to have been with them while they change their future. I adapt my work to your needs. “Client centered” is natural to me. With some exceptions I do not believe “one size fits all.” The exceptions are that every one deserves to be treated with respect, compassion, honesty, and complete integrity.

What generally brings one into therapy may be multifaceted, but generally includes a feeling of disturbance in some part of life and a hope to receive help in getting through. My approach seeks to reduce disturbance and promote healing by endeavoring to understand the meaning and needs underneath the symptoms and how, through a collaborative effort, symptoms and difficulties can be used to lead one to experience more integration, wholeness, and contentment. This approach can help one deal with issues of the here and now, while also encouraging one to live a life that more fully expresses who they are.

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.
