I love what I do and being a part of a clients journey. I have over 20 years of experience working with women and men, in the field of mental health, co-occurring disorders, addictions, and relationship issues. I've been humbled by the human spirit and the courage I've witnessed by countless individuals. I am committed to working with individuals who are seeking to change or enhance their emotional wellness, by helping manage depression/anxiety, enhance self esteem, healing from trauma/loss, achieving sobriety through recovery, developing healthy relationships, communication, or eliminating shame based beliefs.

The decision to engage in change is often a difficult one, it takes a level of courage that many people have, but sometimes are not aware they do. So I applaud you for taking the first step. Whether you are struggling with depression, PTSD, anxiety, relational/family dynamics or addictions, know that you are important and capable of creating a new way forward. I have been working in the field for 40 years and bring those years of experience into our sessions.

In these unprecedented times, many people find that depression and anxiety have become daily challenges. For others, historic or recent traumas create problems such as flashbacks, panic, or poor self-concept. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have spent the last 27 years providing compassionate and effective psychotherapy to those who struggle with mental health and addictive disorders. I use approaches that include narrative therapy, mindfulness, EMDR, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge long-held negative beliefs and maladaptive behaviors that can interfere with recovery.

If you find yourself becoming disconnected in relationships, fighting to maintain boundaries or struggling with a trauma point, please know that you don’t have to suffer alone.

I have been fortunate to work in various positions within the community behavioral health field that has offered me the opportunity to work with individuals from a variety of backgrounds. My goal is to create a safe space to process trauma, rebuild relationships and present the best version of you while overcoming life’s hurdles.

Migraine and other headache disorders steal more than just the time we spend in pain. They steal our friendships, wreck our careers, destroy our families, and sometimes even our will to live. Headache specialists estimate that around 40% of those living with migraine also live with depression. The rate of comorbid anxiety disorders is even higher at 60%. There are also links between migraine and bipolar disorder, early childhood adverse experiences, complex trauma, traumatic brain injury, medical trauma, and domestic violence.

Good day! I have been providing behavioral health services for over 20 years.

I have over 40 years experience working with clients in Tucson, providing caring, compassionate, confidential therapy with a wide variety of folks. My work has often focused on trauma resolution with victims of domestic violence, sexual abuse, or recent trauma. I have extensive experience with adolescents, families, and with women who are working through life changes.

My goal is to provide you with a safe and therapeutic environment that will facilitate success in treatment. As a bilingual social worker, I can provide sessions in English/Spanish. I currently work with adults of all ages in outpatient setting that are finding the need for therapeutic interventions to assist with trauma wounds,addiction, anxiety, and depression.

I help adults resolve the core issues holding them back from having healthy relationships with themselves and others. Many of us feel overwhelmed, stuck, or alone. We beat ourselves up and strain our relationships. We are trying to make sense of life while living with anxiety or depression, medical diagnoses or trauma. It can feel like it is all too much. But, what if there is hope? What if the future can be brighter, and you can have a life that you enjoy?

For 15 years, I have successfully worked with people to gain insight and create positive patterns of behavior to repair broken relationships, heal from past abuse/trauma, overcome addiction of all kinds, break free from anxiety and depression, and achieve greater life satisfaction. I strive to create a safe, comfortable, non-judgmental environment for clients to feel understood and accepted. I often use stories from my life experiences as a youth pastor, Jr. High teacher, and married father of three. The most common positive comment I receive from clients is that they always leave having learned something new.

Congratulations on taking the first step on the journey toward healing, self-discovery, and growth! Often times, seeking support comes with a mixed bag of emotions and barriers, making it very challenging to even begin the process. We can easily become a product of our circumstances, getting lost in survival mode or our comfort zones, but life is too short to get stuck there and that's where I come in. Having navigated my own hardships and traumas, I know how complex it can be to recover, heal, and move forward. It is without a doubt one of the most challenging, yet rewarding, experiences and you are worth it!

I see wonderful results with the unique Unified Mindfulness System that I incorporate into my work. I bring to my work my own personal healing of a serious binge eating disorder/sugar addiction and other issues of suffering. I am also a researcher and involved with neuroscientists at the Medical University of South Carolina, researching my innovative addiction/negative behavior change protocol. I have worked with seemingly hopeless individuals who have transformed their lives with mindfulness therapy. I offer my services out of a great sense of passion and deepest gratitude.

Therapy is an opportunity to heal from the past, cope with the present, and discover a brighter future. Together, we can build upon your strengths, process through traumas, and release the limiting beliefs that are keeping you stuck. My approach to therapy is client-centered and strength-based. As your therapist, I will support you with building practical skills, setting healthy boundaries, and channeling your inner confidence to help you thrive.
