Therapists for Children in Tucson, AZ
Some of my clients arrive at their lowest point, overwhelmed, dysregulated, and unsure things can ever feel okay again. I work with young people ages 6–17 and adults navigating trauma, emotional crisis, and the kind of pain that's hard to put into words.
But beneath every difficult behavior is a person who wants to be heard, to feel safe, and to believe that something better is possible. Their families want answers, reassurance, and a team that actually sees them.
I bring consistency, compassion, and practical tools to every session, not just to get through the crisis, but to build something that holds up long after it passes.

Coming to a therapist can be intimidating and it takes a lot of courage. It is my hope to provide you with a comfortable, safe, and accepting environment. Whether it’s just you, your family, or you and your partner, I want everyone to feel supported as we work on your treatment goals. As a systemic therapist, I help families and couples learn to communicate more effectively, resolve conflict, and deepen connection in their relationships. I also work with individuals to be more aware of thoughts, opinions, and beliefs that have developed over years of life experience, and how those impact their current view of the world around them.

It’s not always easy to know when to reach out, especially if your child isn’t asking for help.
From the outside, your teen or young adult might look “fine,” but you’re noticing changes—more withdrawal, mood swings, anxiety, or stress that doesn’t seem to let up. Maybe conversations feel harder lately, or you’re not sure how to help without things turning into conflict. You want to support them, but it’s not always clear what they need. I work primarily with teens and young adults, creating a space where they can feel comfortable opening up at their own pace. I also understand how important it is to keep parents involved in a supportive, respectful way.
