Codependency Therapists in Tucson, AZ

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.

Life can be difficult. Its curveballs can cause lots of emotional, physical, and psychological challenges capable of throwing us off balance. So, if you feel anxious or depressed, suffer from past trauma, and have a hard time with relationships, rest assured that there is help out here for you. My training, in addition to my professional experience, led me to specialize in trauma resolution and addiction. One often leads to the other.

Are you struggling with trauma or is your marriage in distress? Is anxiety keeping you from reaching your fullest potential? I come alongside adults who have been wounded by trauma/neglect or by the church; and those looking to manage anxiety, cope with depression, explore the complexities of parenting, detach from codependency , learn healthy boundaries, or journey through grief. I help married couples heal from painful past experiences, strengthen communication, & move together towards an envisioned future.

I believe that each individual is uniquely different and thrives with individualized counseling. I believe the best approach to counseling is through open dialogue and exploring what works best for you. Throughout our sessions we will work together to explore unresolved issues from your past, current life stressors and how to move forward to become your best self. Grief is another area that I specialize in. Whether it is the loss of a loved one or loss of function or mobility we will explore coping tools to find what is the most beneficial for you.

I have been working in the field of substance abuse, mental health and grief and loss for over 20 years. Through training and experience I have developed an ability to work with clients who have experienced profound loss. My experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings has provided me with skill in treating addictions, codependency , depression and life transitions.

Would you like a safe space to process past hurts & dream up a new future? Would you like a loving guide to assist in your healing so you can feel whole again? The solution is to slow down and look within, and I can assist you to come home to yourself where you can be at peace. I help you create a heart-centered relationship to yourself - so you can enjoy your life from the inside-out. Solidifying in self worth & releasing codependency creates a new present moment and future aligned with your heart, your passion & your joy. As you become inner directed, your relationships with others and all of life will strengthen and blossom.

I will provide a safe place for you to heal and together we will go on a journey to create meaningful change in your life. I've always had a passion for helping and working with others. I am intentional about listening and truly hearing you while providing a non- judgmental space to forge the best version of yourself. I prioritize intercultural competency and letting people frame their own experiences in the specific context they come from. I specialize in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an effective treatment method which focuses on reprogramming the brain to feel and react differently to traumatic memories. Come as you are!

Trauma can make you feel alone and misunderstood. You might feel like there is no one you can talk to because you don't want to cause them pain. You try to smile and carry on but this too has stopped working. Maybe you are angry, maybe you are afraid. I get that. Maybe you just want it all to stop and go back to the way it used to be. I get that too. Trauma can be a big event or reoccurring smaller events (micro-traumas). Even relationships can feel traumatic.

I'd like to help you take your narrative back from cultural and family conditioning and live more dynamically. My approach is respectful, creative, and evidence-based. I view my clients as equals and see myself as a collaborator rather than a clinically-distanced authority figure. I am grateful to serve many clients in the LGBTQIA+ population.

Do you find yourself in the same relationship patterns over and over again? Do you feel like your past experiences are ruining your present life? Are you ready to start feeling like the person you know you really are deep down? I'm here to tell you that it is possible to have fulfilling relationships and deep, meaningful connection is within your reach.

I have been in the health/wellness field for 20+ years using strength based/holistic recovery approaches. Integrated/experiential therapy helps you re-claim your authentic spontaneous self, creating the life you wish to live. Addressing emotional/relational wounding truly opens the door to a more empowered and fulfilling life. You can increase your self-esteem and confidence, free yourself from depression/anxiety, negative self-talk, substance or process addictions, trauma triggers, and emotional reactivity in relationships. Sometimes therapy addresses current challenges/difficulties, sometimes it's about family of origin issues using inner child work, and/or trauma reduction work.

Learn to live in real recovery! Rewrite your life story! Learn about positive psychology! My clients come to me for life coaching to address issues of relapse in addiction, co-dependency, stress management, life balance, yoga/meditation techniques and to help manage long-term recovery from addictions. I work by telephone, text or ZOOM.

I welcome adults, couples, and adolescents from all walks of life who are struggling with states of anxiety, depression, emptiness, confusion, passivity, and aggression. My focus is on empowerment. When we experience empowerment we begin to take charge of our own lives. We see solutions that we couldn't see before. We begin to experience success in areas where we experienced helplessness only a short time ago. Many of us struggle with strained relationships, difficulties in communicating emotions and needs, hard choices, and losses from estrangement and alienation. Many of us have been traumatized in so many ways.
