Blue Cross Therapists in Tucson, AZ
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 University of Arizona SEMA Lab and 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 my therapeutic approach. I offer my services out of a great sense of passion and deepest gratitude.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, from others or from yourself? Maybe trauma, anxiety, anger, or depression has quietly taken over.
