Attachment-based Therapists in Tucson, AZ

"Your past is not your potential. In any hour, you can choose to liberate the future" -- Marilyn Ferguson. Hello and welcome to my somatic psychotherapy practice. Both personally and professionally, I have learned the value of incorporating all aspects of the self - thoughts, feelings and the physical body - when addressing the suffering of human beings. My approach to healing is focused on the different ways we experience our lives (including cognition, emotion, five-sense perception, movement and sensation).

We all go through seasons of life that can be confusing, painful & downright debilitating and it takes strength to ask for help! I am a Master's level therapist and a Licensed Associate Counselor under the supervision of Rachel Lohrman with Joshua Tree Counseling. I have 7 years experience working as a counselor to teenage girls in crisis through Springboard Teen Challenge here in Tucson and especially love working with individuals who have gone through trauma, young women, and new moms! I use an integrative counseling approach & have a passion for helping others find freedom & healing in their individual lives & relationships!

The people I work with are seeking to access and process repressed emotions, integrate attachment wounds, make peace with the past, seize control of the here & now, reconnect with their intuition, or gain clarity of their inner world. In a society that capitalizes on self-doubt, my purpose is to provide a space of unconditional acceptance in which you can rediscover your truest self. It is deeply important to my practice that I hold space for your intersecting identities & validate how they shape your life experiences.

When children and young adults struggle their loved ones struggle too.

When working with young adults there is always a need to help dalth with past traumas while working to promote the skills to transition to a health adulthood. I offer a variety of services, including therapy, consultation, and assessment in a relaxed and comfortable setting.

If you have within yourself the courage to want to understand and know more about who you are...if you are willing to journey to unknown places...to go in the dark...to do your own work of tending to your Soul...all the time holding an edge : a tiny corner of the unknown as a potential ticket to truly allow yourself to glimpse and bring to the light of consciousness your more true self....together we move through space, time, dream and the unconscious processing of what brought you here today.

I devote attention, energy, expertise, humor and best recommendations to help you discover what you need to move forward.
